How could we do it and what would it cost- with link to property

We like this house because it's in a good location but would need to make it bigger as we both need a work area. I'm thinking one bedroom for me and DH, one bedroom for our son, me in the boxroom for work. Then downstairs make the back lounge into extra work area, knock the kitchen into the garage and also extended garage/kitchen into garden to make open plan kitchen/diner.

I hope that makes some sense, any ball park figures? Any alternative suggestions welcomed!

Well I’d know the kitchen into the back room for open plan dining - and the garage for a work space or add a pod in the garden. There’s enough room for a fancy one! Under floor heating and away from the house - so you don’t get caught up in day to day stuff.
Add a small kitchen area and loo!

The extension could be a chill out room for the child when older and wants friends round . This leaves the front room for grown ups

Wow, that is a lovely house, no help on anything but the owners have done a fantastic job with that.

In the short term you could use one of the reception rooms as an office. You can get all sorts of clever fold away desks if you still wanted it to feel relaxed in the evenings.

What a lovely house, I'd happily move 35 miles to live there!

Thanks everyone. It certainly has curb appeal. Photos are a little misleading though as it needs lots more work than first appears- carpets are stained and torn in many places, built in fridge etc not in working order, boiler not working, radiators rusty, sockets hanging out of walls.

We were thinking of a pod in the garden but it's a very steep slope. I'm sure anything can be achieved with the right amount of money but we have no idea how much a pod with electrics etc would be.

They’re about £6000

Cheaper than an extension
