No clue about internal renovation costs

[Eventmrs]

I have a lovely house, but the downstairs layout is a bit hopeless.
It's a corner house, with a separate dining room that we really do not use, except on the odd occasion.

I would like to knock the dinning room through and create a large kitchen/dinning/living area.

The downstairs toilet is in the way and I think it would all need moving around, new kitchen, etc..
Has anyone done similar and can advise the likely cost of something like this?

I think it would make much better use of the downstairs space.
Photo hopefully attached so you can see what I mean.
Also open to any suggestions for a layout.

It depends on so much like where your drains run, if any walls you're taking out are supporting walls, what windows/doors need to go in, any new steps to eg the garden. Personally I'd speak to a builder and/or architect and get a ballpark figure
Good luck

What size is the current kitchen? Could you put a sitting room there instead and then knock the lounge and dining room in together as a kitchen diner with access to the garden?

I'd just switch the loo and the utility to the front of the house and pop the kitchen where they are. You can then knock though into the dining room.
Personally wouldn't also knock through to the lounge as I like kitchen and lounge as separate spaces.

This. It’s how my house was built and it works really well.

I'd leave it as it is.

That's actually a really good idea - never thought of that - thanks

Either switch loo and utility to front of house and put kitchen at back or put kitchen in lounge near front of house, knock through lounge to dining room so you have on big kitchen/dining/sitting area and turn existing kitchen into formal sitting room/snug/playroom. The latter would be my preference

Can you give me some dimensions, how long, wide is the lounge?

The lounge is 11'3" x 17'10"
Dinning room is 10'2" x 9'
Kitchen is 13'6" x 10'8"
Utility is 8'3" x 6'

The latter is what I'd do. There's water at the back of the house so drains shouldn't be a problem for the kitchen, and with an induction hob (assuming boiler is in the utility room) you wouldn't even need gas to be connected to the kitchen. A snug/playroom is always useful when people want some time away from each other or if the big room is difficult to heat in the winter!

Knocking down walls and moving things that need plumbing is expensive. Moving the kitchen to the back and knocking through to have a kitchen diner with french doors would be lovely!

Thanks everyone - given me a lot of ideas
