probably too late now but my suggestions include 1. exchange the glass slider in the laundry for timber framed glass door with venetian, 2. changing the internal laundry door position allows for extra storage, accessed from the hallway, while still allowing 2.7m laundry counter with space for a drop in sink, under bench basket, washer and floor standing dryer (very happy with this arrangement with wall cabinets and hanging rail) 3, reducing the depth of the pantry to 1200 and changing the pantry door allows better use of the space, easy access to set down counter for fridge and unloading groceries into the pantry, room for full size freezer and the space taken off the pantry is added to 4. bigger bedroom with smaller wardrobe and the re-positioned door gives more flexible use of the bedroom and extra storage from the hallway...BTW check out the good tax rules for owners who rent their homes for up to six years..

my suggestions include swopping the smaller wiw for more bedroom and bathroom space rather than an extra bathroom and the entry to the master bedroom has been moved to allow a little more space for the ens and wiw and downstairs i suggest combining the living and dining area and using some of the under stairs space for bedroom storage for the guest room...having the patio on the north side would allow inclusion of the extra outdoor space up to the laundry door into a more spacious outdoor area with the barbq along the fence...your concern about using the pation in winter would depend on the climate but the northern corner of the house will be the best aspect during cool weather but the patio an dany other windows may need sunshade from the western sun

first thing we need is accurate measurements for the whole house as the existing dimensions are inconsistent and don't include the central spaces, kitchen, laundry and entry hall... it's always better to plan for the whole house even if you're not ready to weatherproof the sunroom but what are your long term plans for the house..what do you plan to do with the sunroom, would you like to be able to access inside from the garage, what about a deck at the back but what's the height of the floor above the ground, what are the floors, walls and roof made out of, where's north on the plan and describe your climate

A slightly off-the-wall suggestion -- remove the wall on the 'right' of the lounge , so you incorporate the hallway into the lounge . Add a door between the entry and the lounge -- if your plan is accurate , there may have been one there at some stage ? This 'closes off' the front 2 bedrooms , they become what I call 'kids rooms' -- you can still entertain or even just watch TV when they have gone to bed . You also have a toilet for guests ( in fact , a whole bathroom to share ) , although it's not ideal for the 3 existing bedrooms , but workable , unless you are a big entertainer . This may not be possible , but in my head I'd then remove the wall between the lounge and dining ( reading your replies , this may be load bearing , but just an idea ) . So you then have a large kitchen/dining/lounge/family -- sort of 4 in one . Maybe even move the 'middle' wall along the kitchen and dining to the right by 1.5 metres ? And of course , move the laundry to the rear porch area , and what do you have ? Yes , a new Master , with the toilet already there , add a bath/shower/basin . No addition needed , but I certainly accept it has a few compromises and assumptions , and may not be possible , but might get your thoughts moving outside the obvious ?
