We're in the very very early stages of discussing a home extension and have a few options available to us. Planning is almost always granted on our street and neighbouring properties have done similar.
So we have a four bed semi with two average sized double bedrooms and one small double and one box room. My idea is to extend to the side which would add just over two metres to each of the bedrooms and make them very good sizes. Downstairs this would make the kitchen an amazing size.
Hubby thinks if we go for a two story extension there is little to no benefit of making existing rooms bigger. Or we make one bigger and add another box room. I feel like four good bedrooms are better than three good ones and two single rooms we have no use for. I also thought if we made the two rooms bigger we could add an ensuite which none of the rooms currently have.
So are larger bedrooms or number of bedrooms most important? We only need four for us and three kids.
The other option is to leave the rooms alone and build a kitchen extension out the back. We both agree on ideas for that plan.
