I'd probably echo a lot of the other comments. The bathroom seems quite large and could be smaller or even split into two smaller bathrooms (ensuite and main bathroom). I'd also consider just including the laundry in the main bathroom. I don't see the need for a separate laundry sink provided you have a decent sized bathroom sink (although your needs may vary) and it would potentially be a much more efficient use of the space. The kitchen seems particularly big to me. I don't really see in the value in having such a large return with bar stools, etc. Surely in such a space, it would be easy enough to move to the dining table to eat, socialise, etc. I think it would be better to place the kitchen along the length of the wall (scrapping the "corner" bifolds, but maybe utilising a window splashback to retain natural light) to really open up the living area. I don't think a bench is necessary. If you position the dining table appropriately, it could double as workspace if necessary, but a long, linear kitchen should provide you with plenty of workspace (and, at one end, potentially room for a built-in study nook which would probably be valuable for a growing family). Ultimately, I'd do a lot of research. Houzz has a bunch of great examples about terraces, for example: [https://www.houzz.com.au/magazine/6-inner-city-terrace-renovations-that-conquer-common-problems-stsetivw-vs~52479198[(https://www.houzz.com.au/magazine/6-inner-city-terrace-renovations-that-conquer-common-problems-stsetivw-vs~52479198) [https://www.houzz.com.au/magazine/my-houzz-a-renovated-victorian-terrace-with-lofty-appeal-stsetivw-vs~69162741[(https://www.houzz.com.au/magazine/my-houzz-a-renovated-victorian-terrace-with-lofty-appeal-stsetivw-vs~69162741) [https://www.houzz.com.au/magazine/my-houzz-a-modest-terrace-impresses-with-a-bright-cheery-interior-stsetivw-vs~74631928[(https://www.houzz.com.au/magazine/my-houzz-a-modest-terrace-impresses-with-a-bright-cheery-interior-stsetivw-vs~74631928) [https://www.houzz.com.au/magazine/houzz-tour-bondi-terrace-reno-captures-light-stsetivw-vs~26541297[(https://www.houzz.com.au/magazine/houzz-tour-bondi-terrace-reno-captures-light-stsetivw-vs~26541297) [https://www.houzz.com.au/magazine/5-city-terrace-houses-that-surprise-inside-and-out-stsetivw-vs~27642618[(https://www.houzz.com.au/magazine/5-city-terrace-houses-that-surprise-inside-and-out-stsetivw-vs~27642618)

Congrats on choosing blocks for your garden bed. If you're looking for trees, I suggest considering a maple tree. They grow nicely over time, providing shade and privacy. I recently moved to a new house myself, and I'm also exploring plant options. Back in my hometown, we had a reliable tree service that helped us with planting and maintenance. Maybe you can find something similar in your area. I came across this website, https://www.deepdale-trees.co.uk , which might be helpful for you. They offer a variety of trees and services.

Depends on how tall you and your family are. I usually design from the top of the vanity bowl being in the range of 800-900mm depending on the height gene in a client's family. Tall parents usually have tall kids and vice versa. With 135mm deep bowls this means that the top of the cabinet work should be in the range of 665mm to 765mm. Be very careful with your wall mounted mixer tap height, and be specific with your plumber about the height you want them mounted - don't assume he knows best. You want them high enough so that you can get your hands underneath to wash them easily, but not too high to be too splashy. Best of luck, Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls.

Hi Brian, where are you based please? and when was your house built? this will give me an idea of what walls were made of in the time your house was built.
