how to add another bedroom and create a kitchen diner living

[JeminaDucki]

saw a lovely house coming up in the area we are looking to move to, an area with very low stock. The house has been done up but unfortunately not with family audience in mind. There is only 1 bathroom upstair. Also with separated kitchen and dining room. Am wondering if it is at all possible to add another bedroom and create a kitchen diner living (preferably looking out to the garden) without undoing too much of the work that has been done ?

floorplan here!

Kitchen dinner would need a new floor
You can reuse units - tilling might be an issue

Bedroom depends on layout

always amazed with ideas from resourceful mumsnetters, tia!

I think it could definitely be done but yes you’d have to undo a bit of the work and possibly spend a bit of money. Downstairs the easiest thing to do would be to knock through the kitchen and room behind and add doors to the end wall. You could do a full width extension but that’s expensive and would mean a whole new kitchen. Upstairs I would definitely add a corridor along the side of the bedroom in front of the bathroom so you can get to the bathroom without walking through it. You could also split the large bedroom at the front and either create two bedrooms or an en suite. Or you could consider going into the loft where, depending on head height, it looks as though you’d get 1-2 bedrooms and a bathroom. The loft would be nicest but again probably more expensive than the other options. I’d look at Rightmove sold properties of the same type and work out what others have done.

You could turn the utility into a dinning room easily - with a cover to the garage and use that as a utility - because you wouldn’t want to go there in the cold and rain.

Depends if you want the garage to be a garage and maybe use that as part office part family room overlooking the garden instead?

I agree with bathroom in bedroom 2 - there’s a shower room underneath so easier to install and change the master bedroom to have a wall and corroded access to the other bathroom

You could get Jack and Jill door locks so bedroom 4 can access the bathroom easily

Thanks @Heronwatcher and @BluebellsGreenbells, would really love the kitchen diner to look out to the garden though. If i convert the garage to be the new kitchen (reusing cabinets) so it can bring in the garden green, where can the new garage be? maybe just the wrong house

Guess it depends how low stock is and how good the plot is
Upstairs is easier. The current master should be partitioned to create a separate corridor to access the bathroom but with the position of the bathroom may need dog leg. Then the front room becomes master with ensuite as the plumbing is directly above the downstairs shower room. Without measurements hard to see if this is viable.
Downstairs I think you'd need to lose the utility. Could put a door to the garden here. Would probably be able to keep most of the existing kitchen but it depends on the units in the corners. You'd need to lose one corner and extend the other to become a peninsula. That means new worktop and possibly matching cabinets. Not too bad if it is still current stock. You need to find it where it is from

I meant to use the utility as dining space but realise I didn't write this!
