Help with a tricky floor layout - moving stairs

2 replies

NewChapter22 · 05/02/2022 21:45

I have just put an offer on a bungalow with lovely views but a slight strange floor layout. In an ideal world, I would like to move the current stairs taking to the attic conversation to the right side (near bedroom 3) so I can possibly knockdown the wall separating the kitchen from the lobby to have a bigger kitchen/dinner. At the moment, the lobby is a bit of a wasted space. I suppose it can be used as a utility but not much else. My questions are: 1) do you think that's feasible (appreciate I probably need to check with a structural engineer) and 2) did anyone do something similar and can comment on the costs involved?

Watching as I’m also considering moving stairs

However, wouldn’t you then lose space from the upstairs bedroom if the stairs were further to the right?

The upstairs bedroom is massive, plus planing to have an on suit where the study is at the moment, so in my head it will make more sense if the stairs don't finish in the study (future bathroom!)
