Not sure what you mean about the window.Rosa_Damascena said:
Yes, and yes there is a door to the lounge. The layout isn't my thing but I can see that it flows. Current kitchen looks like an extension with a small bedroom stuck on top.Money_Grabber13579 said:It looks like the dining room and living room are open plan at the minute? If you do convert the dining room into a kitchen, can you access the living room directly from the hall? It’s not ideal to have to go through the kitchen to get to the living room.
OP - what is going on with the front bedroom window? (Top RHS).0 -
EAs market houses. Most of them (not all) have zero construction knowledge.MummyDN said:
Didn’t think there might potentially be an issue with using sunroom as main living space. EA suggested it wouldn’t be an issue. We will check this. Thanks. We are hoping to have a second viewing and taking our builder for his opinion.Doozergirl said:If your sunroom is like a conservatory, then you should check that it okay to be converted into main living space.Otherwise, if the house provides enough space for you then what you suggest looks fine.It's a bit of a shame that the house is divided into so many small spaces. Limits your options a bit.Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

Thank you. We’ll get this checked out. We are yet to get the building survey done so hopefully we should get more info from that.Rosa_Damascena said:
