This is our current floorplan. Our aims are:
Upstairs
Big bedroom for us with dressing room and ensuite (4m x 3.5m minimum)
Two big bedrooms for the tweens (4m x 3m minimum)
Two separate ensuites with one being Jack and Jill to the hallway so spare bedrooms can use it
2 spare rooms - one of which can also be used as an office
2 offices total (1 or more can double up as a spare room but can't share a wall and at least one can't share a wall or floor with the utility room - due to sound sensitive job)
Downstairs will need lounge, kitchen/dining room, separate (ish) family room/snug, office, utility room, downstairs toilet, garage.
Plus points
Big £200k budget
Lots of garden on 3 sides so taking up garden space isn't an issue
Constraints
Next door neighbour's house is 45 degrees to the lounge/master bedroom so can't extend out that way, except from where that side window is.
Wouldn't get planning permission for a non obscured window on that upstairs side as the current window already breaks the 45 degree rule. But could have an ensuite obscured window for example.
Quite a shallow front garden
Car can only just in front of the garage. No room in front of sitting room.
Back of house is east facing
Lounge is north facing
Conservatory is awful single skin glass job so is definitely going!
Sitting room is converted garage so too narrow to be the lounge. Currently using it as an office.
Our architect has tried 2 variations and both are too compromised to be worth it for the investment. I'm turning to MN for inspiration!
