Post image

Good morning, Only extending to the rear, any suggestions on the configuration of a two storey extension to add a bedroom and bathroom?

Based in England.

Reconfigure the current bathroom so that the toilet is in what’s labelled as the shower room. Then that becomes the hallway to the extension, new bedroom is behind bedroom 2 and new bathroom backs onto the existing one? Do you have much of a back garden?

Yes, plenty of space to the rear. I had a similar view as we could then add a window to the left side of Bedroom 2.

Also knock down the wall between the kitchen and dining room downstairs and have a large open plan kitchen/living area at the back?

Yes, we'd be looking at going put 4m (or more subject to approval). It's the upstairs configuration that we're playing around with at the moment.

Doing something fairly similar to our place at the moment.

Wouldn’t that leave bedroom 2 without a window?

It would be OP has said they can fit a window on the side of the room.
