Semi-detached rear extension, how to get drawings/design done?
Comments (8)I like your plan, I would put an external door on the utility instead. and ideally get the boiler in there if you can. (boiler there more important than door- if its a choice) block up external door to office (not needed) put a cloak room under stairs and use the doorway space - access cloak room from under stairs. Just need to know where your external soil pipe is to confirm. i can recommend an architectural technician. (although you could probably sketch it yourself) he also does B.regs / project management as well, if required re the construction, over hand block build the party wall side. brick and block the rest, you will need a steel over the bifold if wider than 3.6m. cheaper option is to have larger french doors with fixed glazing either side, (then you may not need the steel.) you will need one for the internal partition. so delivering two easy as one i may be able to supply the easi joists and 18mm osb for the roof (bit of a small job) get your services (lights) up in there easily . 5m easy to span try and get a warm roof if poss. (insulation on top and then ur choice of roof covering) check heights when designing and submitting plans) cold roofs are a pain. good luck , happy to help Chris...See MoreHow best to use the rooms in a Victorian semi-detached?
Comments (6)I agree with using the breakfast room as a playroom come casual dining room. What you could do is take the kitchen door off so you have a better view of your toddler while they are playing and to give you a more open fell if that's what you'd like. Since you like cooking and will be spending a lot of time in the kitchen would a worktable on wheels be useful? You could then move it around to the most convenient patch for the job in hand, and also have the freedom to change its position if your child decides to come and play under your feet, or in the kitchen, as they undoubtedly will!...See MoreFTB victorian semi advice please!
Comments (6)A bathroom over the kitchen.- firstly you should get the opinion of an expert if the kitchen would bear the load- it might do. If not you can strengthen the walls, you can put a room above on stilts or you could investigate lighter options such as a prefabricated low weight box extension. As far as the loft conversion goes I think it depends on where the stairs will come up in the available space- I suspect they will come up in the middle and make the space unusable. Other houses in the street may well have a different stair position. As far as extending goes I think I would be considering a full width rear two story extension - is it possible to extend on the side where the front door is?...See MoreGround floor semi-detached extension plan dilemma
Comments (13)Thank you for the replies. I have taken inspiration from a house nearby and really like the idea of a rear extension that opens up the back bedroom into a mezzanine area (which then becomes a home office / gym / laundry room. This requires the side extension to be of a higher height (~1.5 stories high) with a glass roof slanted towards the top of the mezzanine level. Given the back of our property is set down at a lower ground level than the neighbouring property by ~ 1.5 metres they will not be overlooked anymore than a regular 1 story side return. Do you think Lambeth will give planning for this kind of extension? bearing in mind we want to go back by 3m with a regular rear extension too. So it will essentially be a rear extension and side return (rather than a wraparound). The link to the photos of the house extension on the next street along that did this are here: https://www.zoopla.co.uk/property-history/8-northstead-road/london/sw2-3jw/18089869 The planning for this was granted back in 2004 so I can't find any docs related to it. Thanks fro your help!...See MoreK OB
