In an ideal world of course we would have bought a big rambling country house for our current renovation project - well wouldn't everyone! However of course there are always limitations with these things, namely of course money. So, our rambling estate is, as previously mentioned a 3 bedroom semi detached Victorian place. And not a very big one at that. In fact, the footprint is smaller than our current 2 bedroom Victorian terrace, and somehow, the layout is far less practical.
So one of the major aims beyond just renovating it into something beautiful is going to be making the absolute most of the space and making it as efficient as possible.
Extending is an option, something we've been looking into a lot and the potential for extension was one of the winning factors when we bought it, but at this stage, its a bit of an uncertainty in terms of possibility and also affordability. For the time being we have to concentrate on making what we've already got work to the best of its ability.
Next chance I get, I'll put some pictures on here with plans of what we've got and what we think we're going to have to do to get the most out of it.
