We do want to keep side access to the back garden if possible.


But not the existing path between the house and the garage, we would want to move the garage so its attached to the house and the we would be able to walk down the side of the garage wall (hope that makes sense!)

Yes, that's how I read it, the pic confirms it so you have the option that I mentioned which won't interfere with next doors wall and may be more agreeable to them?

However you need a good reason to go to this expense, you haven't shared that one with us inspite of being "probed":eek::eek::rotfl:

Its mainly because we would like a proper utility room off the kitchen instead of the freezing old outhouse we have now.


Plus hopefully a downstairs loo if there's space.


Plus I think it would look nicer than how it does now :rotfl:

Well in that case you'll have to spend the money to provide the utility room, but, if that house was mine and I really wanted to improve it's looks I would ditch the flat roof to the garage and passage. I always think flat garage roofs are poor looking anyway.

Adding a pitched roof aligned with the original house would transform the look of the house, looks like you could get a decent pitch below the bedroom windows but of course you are then into Party wall territory again do to the new end wall you would need.

It was just a thought.

Thank you


I'll take a picture this evening of the back of the house to show where the existing 'utility room' is.


I use the term utility room very loosely, its basically a brick shed

This is the rear of the house
