Please help me with these floor plans

[dietstartstomorrowok]

There's space above garage too. Thank you in advance!

To do what?

What do you need?
More living space or more bedrooms?

A brain teaser? Ok.

It looks like a semi with a very small kitchen and a dining and living area that you might be wanting to knock together, or, do you knock the dining and kitchen area together, or take part of the garage to augment the kitchen space?

Who would be living there?

Sorry, will clarify further. Want to max space as much as possible, but have no idea how. Would like 4 beds. One with ensuite on first floor if first floor has space. Possibly go into loft. 2 adults and 2 children. Maybe a third child in the future too.

Def want a seperate living room as it stands atm. Happy to do anything with the garage.

You could extend over the garage, if you can get permission, to enlarge/add rooms and and en suite. If you do a loft conversion the access should be from a common part - the occupant of a bedroom would not thank you for routing traffic through their space, I think.

As it stands the kitchen space looks woefully inadequate for a family of four.

I would extend the kichen into the garage to make an L shape. Then this could have a table and chairs. The existing dining room could become a playroom/study. Upstairs, extend over the garage to make a further Bedroom. The third bedroom is small so I would enlarge it by giving some of the garage space. The bathroom needs changing as well. Knock through to bathroom from wc. The cupboard there becomes a shower.

Typical semi layout. Couple of things you need to get checked - was garage original to house? Do you have details of when it was built? Certainly around here, old garages more than 10 or so years old don't have deep enough foundations to support an extension above. Also do you have enough head height in the loft (may be completely wrong but I think you need at least 2.1m between floor and roof joist at present for it to be feasible). If you go on your local authority's planning site you can search for properties in your road / locally of a similar layout and see how they've designed the space for planning applications.

If there are similar houses on your road, have a look on Council planning site to look at plans which have been approved.
Saves a lot of thinking!
