Now I’m thinking somehow making the entry into our master not straight off the dining room. Sorry for poor quality drawing by me

Something like this might work for bathrooms . Your dining and kitchen will be tight

Alternative entry to bath & kitchen/dining . l hope I got scale right

Thanks for that Kate. Any ideas if I can get a walk in robe instead of just robes. Probably need more room that what I have give wouldn’t I?

Also any thoughts on this alternative? With the entry way for master changing? Again sorry for my poor drawing

your plan shows that external walls have been moved to make space for the bathroom/ ens and to enlarge the kitchen into the old laundry space....this is a very expensive option as it affects the load bearing walls supporting the whole roof...my suggestions keep all the original walls with a simple extension for a new kitchen and dining area.. although a bigger extension you could add the new kitchen before altering the original house which would also make it much easier to live through the alterations

Thanks a lot I think that looks really good. I am planning on having a chat to a local builder very soon but sort of wanting a rough idea on how much it will all cost . Any idea on estimate cost in that floor plan. I’m thinking upwards of 250k for that reno we were hoping to do something more like 200k preferably lower. With that design which I love do you think we make a few alterations to make it a little cheaper. I know not easy with construction the way it is now

Opening up an existing exterior wall added $50k to my concept and that was pre Covid building boom. I’d shift your chat with a builder forward. My plans are delayed for a lot of things but the best decision I ever made was to have the builder on site before I decided on a layout. At the time he indicted that I could build a certain size rectangle for my budget. The helpful peeps here (OKL looking you) then came up with a layout that fitted in the rectangle with as few adjustments to the existing building as possible. $200k if you’re including permit/plans/paperwork doesn’t go far.

Thanks for the plans. I really like them. Only thing we don’t think we would use that study nook I know it would be good for resale but think maybe we could use that space for something else. and also I would probably prefer a more open kitchen instead of a galley kitchen.

Wir and smaller ensuite

kitchen with island and no study

Thanks guys they are really good I really like that oklouise with the bigger more open kitchen. I think that would be more practical for us.

Not sure if you would be open to something like this, Master at the front of the house with kitchen, dining family at the rear. this would be a smaller extension which will flow from the kitchen to the BBQ Alfresco.

Thanks for that Siriuskey I like the idea of a smaller reno due to cost. I’m Not sure I want to change my lounge room at the front of the house too much. We could make that work but I have spent a bit of money on the front room to make that nice so don’t really want to change that too much
