Cost for loft/mezzanine master suite extension + new garage
Comments (4)without the extra information my best suggestion for an extra bedroom is to move the laundry and sacrifice the family area and add a simple extension to the master bedroom to allow for an increase in bedroom and ensuite but there's not enough space for the extra garage... I would expect these changes to cost around $100,000 depending on quality of finish and existing structure but adding upstairs would be double that amount (without increasing the downstairs living areas because of space lost for a stairwell)....But, before considering any changes, you should decide if you would be happy with less garden and smaller dining room, consult a builder for a quote for the changes and a real estate agent to decide if these improvements would add equal value to the property or if it could be more cost effective to move to a property that already has the extra bedroom and garage that you want...See Morechanging layout and adding a en-suite
Comments (4)it should be easy enough to use bed 2 as space for an ensuite but that means losing a bedroom...do you have any other long term plans to add extra bedrooms, new kitchen etc eg the old extension seems like a much better location for the kitchen, make a bigger dining area and maybe add a screened room across the back to take advantage of your good climate but neither idea solves the problem of the missing bedroom, could the living area be converted to extra bedrooms but how you would access the clothesline from a laundry in the garage...is there space to add an external door on either side of downstairs? maybe the cellar would be a better location for the new laundry with closer access to the stairs and an existing external (front) door and add laundry shute from the upstairs bathroom but making scaled plans is difficult as the real estate plans are inconsistent ...please confirm the dimensions of all the rooms (including bath, toilet, biws and hallways and i can make a better scaled plan to share...See MoreConversion of bedroom into en-suite in 1880s country cottage
Comments (3)my suggestion are based on location of existing doors and, without moving any walls, there's just enough space to have an ens, separate dual access powder room and small wiw and biw if the master bedroom is in the smaller room and the French doors open outwards for more walking around space.. adding an internal window to the wiw will give also add light and view from the wiw...See Moremaster en-suite layout
Comments (21)Thanks Margot, north is to the right of the plan above, but the master and theatre (east) face natural bushland, and the master is not to the right of the design due to cars entering on each street coming towards that corner (street to front and right). Being a corner block we wanted to keep as much privacy for the master if possibly. We plan on a full fence to enclose the back bedrooms and following that a white picket fence or other permeable fence around to the front, with trees planned on the north and east sides. It can get quite hot in summer here so not hugely worried about heat and sunshine etc. Also wanted the master to face the natural bushland. The garage could go on the boundary, though adds more cost and there is a small power dome so the driveway would need to curve around that. We have taken on board feedback for the bedrooms and powder at the back. Will have a play around and see what we can shift to make the bedrooms bigger etc. Thanks so much for the help :)...See More
