Hi all
Just received proposed plans for extension and wanted to canvas opinion on a couple of things-would be grateful for feedback!
I know many things are possible but don't want to take on loads of non value added expense.
Is side access via the utility really useful? Have 3 young children. Think it might be in terms of keeping the front hall clear of clutter and will probably have storage for coats and shoes in utility.
If boiler moves to cupboard under stairs as proposed do I need to consider noise from it? Currently this cupboard houses the gas and electricity meters-is that a problem in any way? We need a new boiler anyway.
Would you extend the utility as per attached pic to get a bigger utility, utilise dead space in hall and get a sight line from front door through to garden or is this not a great idea? Will it be worth taking this space from the kitchen?
Will it make the entrance to the kitchen feel like a long dark corridor?
Do you think there will be adequate light in the room with the rear doors and roof lights if we had to lose the windows on the side wall of the kitchen?
Any other general critique welcome
Many thanks
