Ideas for extension please

[Kaens]

Hi everyone, our offer is accepted yesterday that we were fighting for this house almost a month now. So i would like to get some ideas about extensions. It’s bungalow. Floor plan is attached.
•First thing is,make the kitchen bigger, kitchen and dinner without using the space from living room?
•Add extra room for study without using the space from existing rooms?

there is outside space from in front of the garage till living room on the right . Thank you.

It will cost you a lot more to extend and renovate than it will to buy a bigger house. Are you definite this is the right house for you?

If so then which way faces the road as that will restrict which sides you can extend on? I assume from the way the garage faces that it is the bottom of the plan?

Would it be possible to convert a loft and move a bedroom up there?

I don't think it will be possible to extend the kitchen without losing car access to the garage. Would this be a problem? Will there still be enough off street parking if you had an extension which ended in line with the current end of the kitchen?

A cheaper option might be to make bedroom 2 into a dining room and then convert the garage into a bedroom. You would have to put some sort of corridor in which might be tricky.

The garage looks very small for a modern car. Are you intending to use it as a garage, or could you lose it?

How close to the boundaries is the property?

So this is the front of the house as the garage is on the front and we can’t park the car in front cos it’s not wide enough for the car, we have enough space for cars on driveway. 2 windows front of the house is living room. Thank you

"...we can’t park the car in front cos it’s not wide enough for the car"

If you can't use the garage or park a car outside it perhaps the answer might be to extend into that space?

So, demolish the garage and build an extension up to the boundary where the garage is now and going forward as far as you want even right up to the front of the house. Or just as far as the wall that separates the kitchen from the living room.

You could also make a front entrance here facing the street if that worked better for you than having the entrance at the side.

as you said we can’t use the garage so it make sense use that space for extension. How can we extend the roof to cover top and all the way to the side front as we don’t want flat roof. Can we get planning for this tho?

Its going to be costly, I would imagine, to build to side if you don't want a flat roof. You will end up having to join a new roof half way up your existing one, I would think. Or have a gully gutter, where your new roof is pitched in the opposite direction?
Personally, I'd either move your kitchen, diner to the back right of the house and extend into the garage, and have your lounge in bed 3. Or turn the garage into an office, but you can't access it easily from the house.
You also don't appear to have anywhere to hang coats etc, so I'd think about a porch.
It's a difficult layout, and if you don't want to knock through into lounge from kitchen, it's likely expensive.

Make the green a big kitchen diner ,
Make the red bedrooms

@leapinglizard1234 if you're going to do that, you might as well knock through the existing kitchen/lounge. I was under the impression the op didn't want this, or I may be wrong?

Op said without using the lounge space .. Obvs it will cost alot but that wasn't the question

Thanks for drawing. I wouldn’t sacrifice 2 bedrooms and the garage for kitchen and diner i don’t need that big kitchen as well and it will be really expensive 🙂‍↕️

You wouldn't sacrifice them , just replace them . I'd get some drawings done and get quotes . I can't see how you would make the kitchen diner bigger without extending out the back tbh .

"How can we extend the roof to cover top and all the way to the side front as we don’t want flat roof."

If you're dead set against a flat roof then it will be more expensive. I think that a flat roof would work well in this situation but I'm not you.

I think probably the way to make that work would be to have the ridge of the extension running at 90 degrees to the existing ridge line.

Attached is a photo of a chalet bungalow with an extension to the side. It is a chalet bungalow so it has an upstairs but this will give you an idea of what I mean.

This is a lot more expensive than a flat roof.

•First thing is,make the kitchen bigger, kitchen and dinner without using the space from living room?
•Add extra room for study without using the space from existing rooms?

As to they layout, I have a couple of ideas.

In the first one it will mean losing a bit of space from bedroom 1.

Create a corridor (shown in red) that takes some space from Bedroom 1. This links to the garage which becomes Bedroom 4.

Then extend the kitchen (shown in green) to create a larger L shaped kitchen/diner

The second idea is to create a corridor (shown in red) where the bathroom currently is so that no room is lost from Bedroom 1.

The bathroom is moved (shown in yellow) and takes up half of the existing kitchen. The kitchen/diner (shown in green) is now L shaped and the garage becomes Bedroom 4

[EDIT]

"Can we get planning for this tho?"

You don't need planning permission for this, it comes under permitted development.

Although you will need to go through the Party Wall Act process as you will be building right up to the boundary.

Just to add, on the plan, there appears to be no external window on the bathroom so I presume you don't mind there still not being an external window.
