Hi, is the storeroom next to bed 1 going to be a bathroom, as it’s a long way through the living spaces to bathroom between b 2 and 3. This will impact layout recommendations. In one layout you have the kitchen near store. If not bathroom will it be part pantry?
I see one plan has the missing verandah dimension. Thanks.

Hi Kate, yes store room will be bathroom for beds 3 and 4. Front verandah is existing and is 4200 x 6800.
Side verandah is yet to be built and is 3150 x 6500. Additional photos of existing (but party removed kitchen) showing original oven space. Front of original cottage and front verandah.

How about using the stove area as secret hidden storage behind a tv that is on a hinged door. Big long couch.

And I meant a modular couch with ottomans you can reconfigure depending on crowd. Hence keeping kitchen tucked at one end.

Thanks Kate, that’s a fun idea that could work.

what about using the back verandah as a galley kitchen? And then stepping down to paving out the back. I didn't draw it on but it should have a door to outside from the kitchen. It's connect but separate to the living. You could tuck a little study nook in where the old kitchen was.

what's the original layout?
