I understand this is a "How much is a piece of string?" question but will try to explain as best as I can.
We would like to extend our two bedroom, ground floor maisonette. We would like to convert the bathroom into a third bedroom, move the current bathroom and toilet and add a kitchen, dining area and utility room/storage area. Please see my floor plans as I am sure my explanation is pure confusion. One plan is of our place as it currently stands and the other is of our proposed extension.
The job will involve:
- Adding a 900x4397 extension to the front and knocking the living room window through to create an entry way. The front door would be relocated here and the side entrance would be blocked off. This extension would have windows and two doors; one street door and another to keep the warmth in and the drought out.
- Adding a rear extension: 10850 x 1828. This would incorporate the kitchen, dining area and the utility room and would go from one rear wall all the way to the back fence.
- Removing 4397mm of wall between the living room and the hallway.
- Creating an entryway from the hallway into the new extension but breaking through an external supporting wall.
- Creating a bathroom area where the side entrance front door use to be by constructing a wall in the main bedroom (approx. 4280mm), and relocating the bedroom door.
- Our current bathroom is located behind the current kitchen. We would like the wall between these rooms removed and a new one constructed two feet forward of that. The bathroom will become a third bedroom and the current kitchen will become a closet area.
- New electrics throughout and we are considering if it's feasible to have underfloor heating in the rear extension area.
- Knocking out two chimney breasts. Bearing in mind that it is likely that the flat upstairs still has their chimney breast in tact.
I understand it is hard to give a guestimate on how much any job like this would cost but just sort of hoping to find out if this is worth a go or if it's more money than it is worth.
I've gotten so much help and advice from this website already. Thanks everyone.
