Rear Single Storey Extension

[Toooldtoworry]

Is anyone else considering one, or recently had one done?

We've got the architect coming out today to measure up in readiness for his plans to submit to building control, and we know what we want to do. Just wondered if anyone has any tips.

For reference we currently have the kitchen at the front of the house (small) and we are going to move the kitchen to the lounge to make it a lounge diner. Convert the kitchen to a utility/cloak and the extension will be the lounge as all drainage is at the front of the property this is the easiest solution.

I'm a bit nervous about the cost, but moving would mean for the property we would want we'd be looking at another £170k before moving costs and the extension I am expecting in at half that at least (we do have other work we want finished).

That sounds like a good idea. We've only got a part timer now so it's just us and 3 dogs 85% of the time.

Keep us updated, be interested to see how you get on.

I've just got to wait for what the valuation of the house is to see how much extra we can release.
