Can you cut a door on and turn bed 4 and music room to en-suite or add an addition there? Plans for master

best use of space would be to sacrifice back to back wardrobes and steal space off beds 2 and 3 to make an ensuite with a window...anything smaller would be very uncomfortable and hardly worth the expense and the only external change would be an extra window for the new bed 2 and biw could be replaced by freestanding storage (eg chests of drawers and a narrow wardrobe to avoid changes to the bedroom door for bed2

Thanks Kate and oklouise. Yes using the Music Room as an ensuite was suggested by a builder last year as it's so close to all the plumbing and would be a piece of cake, however as it's opposite the bathroom it seemed a bit silly. The master bedroom has two windows and is a lovely room, it's just a bit of a hike in the night down to the loo...

oklouise, I like your idea as it still keeps the second bedroom, albeit a lot smaller, but it could be used as a guest room as it's nice and quiet. I did wonder about the tiny-smallness of an ensuite where I was originally suggesting. We have lots of freestanding wardrobes now as it is so it should all work. Thank you both so much for your suggestions, I really appreciate it.

the reduced size of beds 2 and 3 (still big enough for a queen sized bed) would not be as annoying as a tiny cramped windowless ensuite and reduction of the living area

Yes I think you're right. My partner is rather animated and I can just imagine the colourful language coming out of a tiny ensuite when he knocks his elbows on the edge of the vanity! I just did some measuring up in the second bedroom. The windows here are all second hand so size and placement is probably not quite the same as what's shown on the plan but I think we can get a reasonable sized bedroom there...it would only be a few mm here and there.

I don't know much about mudbricks , but aren't they an almost random type of finish ?

I'd suggest they may be easier to add to , and possibly even extend out past the existing veranda line , off the Master , probably easier than most other brick or similar constructions ?

Basically , all the other options are moving things around and reducing another room size -- adding out would mean probably less compromises , with the bonus that it looks like it is the rear side of the house too , so any newness won't be obvious from the street ?

Of course , that may not be physically possible , but I'd at least enquire .

Thanks Pottsy99. Yes the bricks are all random as we made them individually out of the same mould but they did take a few knocks and bumps when we stood them up while they were drying. We scrubbed the freshly laid bricks at the end of each day and the final finish is quite smooth, so removing bricks to add an extension would be a bit of a nightmare I'm thinking. A timber frame addition would look tacked on. The house was cut into the hill and we used the removed clay to make the bricks so this means there's a steep bank behind the house which means we can't really extend out beyond the verandah. Back when we built it ensuites weren't really a thing...
