If funds allow, definitely option 2. Nothing beats having your own private bathroom space 💛

@NickyandHarri 13 күн бұрын

Exactly what we were thinking, got to love an En-suite 💙🤗

@jennywilliams7756 13 күн бұрын

Option 2 would be better especially if you are going to start a family in the future.

@LoubinaA 7 күн бұрын

And also make it a bit bigger if you can - you spend more time in the bathroom than the dressing room 😊

I’d deffo be entertaining the 3 upstairs bedrooms, potentially squeeze an en-suite into the master room. A lot of new builds I’ve seen manage to squeeze an en-suite into small spaces these days

It would be a hell of a house with 3 bedrooms upstairs… I just don’t think we’ve got the budget or skill for it at the moment😢

Yes to another bathroom in the house. It will definitely add value and that privacy you need all together.

I would go for the option where the architect gave you the three bedroom option what you could do is add a bathroom over the garage then. You end up with a real 3 bedroom house with only 2 bathrooms. Also the front dormers look better and would make the property more desirable.

Honestly, we would love nothing motor than to do this. But, we just don’t have the available budget- we’re already maxed out with our plans and don’t want to bite off more than we can chew 🤞🏻😊

Hello Nicky and Harry, My thinking is that if the house has the potential price point as discussed, it should have the two en suites upstairs. That would make the bedrooms more private, and make the house special. I cannot wait to follow your journey with this house! Take care. :)

@PJS-uu9xu 13 күн бұрын

Option 2 Always go for more bathrooms if you have the budget and space. You proved last time that you guys can create an acceptable bedroom en-suite out of not much more than a cupboard. You will gain on both levels…. Long term living ( guests / family) and resale. I personally never go flat roof even with current technologies. But that’s just me…… the immediate cost saving is significant…… but not the long term. Saying that I think the dorma across the back looks good and adds better balance aesthetically so a pitched roof on the extension is not going to work easily. We had the same conversation about matching colour cladding on our bungalow renovations……. Practically a flip of a coin in the end…. We went full render. It can always be added if you think you’ve missed a trick. Lots to think about…… when you get further down the line don’t skip the thoughts around the front garden, essential parking and kerb appeal. Exciting times and looking forward to seeing you tear into this……it has huge potential which I’m sure you’ll maximise 💪👍

@NickyandHarri 13 күн бұрын

Thanks for this really useful comment bud, glad to hear people have had the same thoughts and plan with the white render- we keep going back and forth with our plans! The flat roof seems to be the best option saving budget atm, and Nicks loves the idea of a massive sky light on the top! As you say, we can always add some extra bits like cladding in the end if we don’t feel the finish is the way we want it. We defo won’t be forgetting about curb appeal and will be putting a huge focus on creating some really usable private parking at the front… Some really exciting times ahead/ we can’t wait to start the Reno and share it all with you 💙💪🏻

Hey Adam, we seriously love the 3 dormer option but it’s just not gonna be in our budget. Let alone then adding 2 bathrooms upstairs and one downstairs plus the extension. £67,000 just won’t be enough! 😢

Another great instalment to your journey. 2 beds will limit the resale opportunity. Budget limitations is always a tough decision call, 3 beds will capture a family home especially when you've a lovely sized plot. Modern house somehow squeeze a small but functional ensuite in master bedrooms with a shared bathroom for the next 2 beds rather 2nd bed plus box room for home office etc. So try to think ahead to what will a next buyer want in the future. Or perhaps use this project to build yourselves a future home base that again maximises rental potential if you decide you're missing that travelling bug. Harri is correct you have to enjoy your journey day by day. Looking forward to this Surrey adventure that you'll be creating.

@NickyandHarri 13 күн бұрын

Completely agree with you! Thank you for your thoughts 😊 Next video we’re gonna go into more detail about the downstairs layout as there is either 1 or 2 potential bedrooms down there too, as well as a shower room!

@V3M0N_ 13 күн бұрын

Option 2 would be the best. Having 3 bedrooms does sound like a good idea, too. I do like the kerb appeal of it. But the cost does come into it, and I understand that. Instead of having a juilet balcony, you could have a little walkway to the roof of the extension. This can allow an upstairs outside patio area, giving a feel of a luxurious holiday home. But then again, it could be pricey considering the barrier you'll have to put up to make it safe. There is a lot of potential on this property, and if you had the time and got the right deals, you are looking at a beautiful home. 😊

@NickyandHarri 12 күн бұрын

The problem with a walkable roof is the extra support needed in the roof structure, it could end up costing a lot! But as you say, the budget does matter and we just can’t afford to risk spending more than we have and ending up in trouble. Hopefully, we’ll find a happy medium of work and enjoying- to make the house a beautiful home but not break the bank! 😊

I prefer having a communal bathroom between the 2. But then also have an en suite in the main bedroom. The way you changed it meant the smaller bedroom had a massive en suite with a bath in it. Where as I think the master bedroom should have an en suite and the rest of the house can share

@Nightwatcher20 13 күн бұрын

Option 2 would prove to be a lot more popular when it comes to reselling. Ensuites, especially when you have kids, are an absolute lifesaver. Of course it's one less bedroom, but you shouldn't add bedrooms just for the sake of it-- it's more about the quality of living. I think doing some clever built-in storage in the master would more than make up for the lack of a dressing room.

@NickyandHarri 12 күн бұрын

Think we have to agree with you on this one!

@Nightwatcher20 8 күн бұрын

@@NickyandHarrireally can't wait to see what you do with the place; you both have such a good eye for development. We're renovating a 300-year-old cob farmhouse ourselves-- moved into the front section 10 days before our daughter was born November last year! Since then been living on a building site to finish the rest of the house... nearly done, though. Anyway, we had 5 bedrooms originally, but decided to combine two into one large space for an office; neither had much natural light, so it seemed like the best option. Plus for 4 bedrooms to share 1 bathroom would have been a lot for future kids/guests-- now it's just 2 bedrooms sharing it.

As a plasterer there’s not much advice I can offer on the Reno at this stage - other than… Drainage - make sure all the gutters are clean and totally undammaged/Plumbed in properly or they’ll be flooding and causing damp issues. Does the house have a damp course? Does it have cavity walls? Will your extension have cavity walls?(surely it will) In which case - make sure they aren’t rendering down to the ground(like some of your cgi renderings) as this will breach your damp course and again, cause damp inside by sucking up moisture from the ground. You want a bell bead and for the render to finish above the damp course so it can do its job. Don’t go with the cheapest quotes you get - good tradesmen will charge more as they’re busy elsewhere and can afford to pick and choose work. Cheap plasterers especially will be “skimmers”(only able to reskim/plaster fresh board internally) with no real experience elsewhere. Some external renderers won’t want to do the inside of your property, and a lot of internal plasterers won’t even know how to do the external of your property. Find someone who’s busy, and book them well in advance. Don’t leave it to the last minute and book someone who’s available, they will be crap.

Option 2 would be my go to. My grandad was an architect and always said en-suites sell. I brought my first home a few years back and we added a second toilet, ripped down loads of walls (helps being a structural engineer!) and tried to do as much of the work ourselves as well - it's so helpful having that extra space for guests and future kids, but then again we've still retained a full height and wall length wardrobe as well!

Hi Nicky and Harri! Option 2 is definitely the way to go, the additional bathroom pays for itself in the long run. In regards to the dormers, there are other, more cost-effective ways to add some interest and curb appeal to the front of the house. For example, extending the covered front porch you have in mind would be lovely. This house will be a stunner no matter what you choose to do, I’m excited to see the transformation!

I'd go with the double dormers, 3 bedrooms and try to squeeze an en suite into the dressing area of the main bedroom. That'll definitely maximise your profit - even if you need to spend longer on the reno and get some tradies in. It'll be worth it in the long run.

@Neltor411 13 күн бұрын

@contactjd 13 күн бұрын

Wonderful positive outlook and reflections towards the end there 💗 Beware flat roofs almost always end up leaking, and have a much shorter life span. Not an issue with renovating to sell but can be problematic longer term... If you can get 2 WCs back to back, it would save a load in plumbing, drainage, etc. it looked like the middle stairs may go between them? An extra toilet and basin isn't all that expensive in the grand scheme of things, you could always skip an extra bath or shower. If you do go for a shared bathroom, consider putting the loo behind a separate wall / door from the rest which still gives you more flexibility. 2 good/evenly sized rooms, may be preferable to 3 smaller/cramped ones Looking forward to the next episode 👍

@sophiehorsley3447 12 күн бұрын

So much to say!! First of all my favourite bit is 11:48 Nicky's impressive leg kick!! But seriously I do think option 2 is the best solution because that size of house (not forgetting that you also have two bedrooms downstairs) kind of warrants at least an en-suite to the master bedroom. Will you be able to squeeze in a bath/shower room downstairs for the bedrooms there? Perhaps attached somehow with the utility room? I think the cladding on the back would look homely (rather than some more modern "warehouse" style extensions you see on the market) in that lovely grey/green colour. And lastly I really enjoyed Harri's insightful summing up at the end about the positive attitude needed day to day when approaching a project involving so much hard grind. Lots of ❤❤ to you both! xx

Option 2 would add most value to the house I think. Wouldn’t recommend doing a large lantern on the extension, if not done well it can just look plonked on top, and breaks up the clean geometry of the house when you look from the back garden. Could be better off doing large reveal sky lights - these also won’t date light a lantern would and don’t gather as much grub! Hope it goes well guys, really looking forward to tuning in. My partner and I watch together and can’t wait to do the same one day x 😊

Bet you are dyyyiiinggg to get the keys! Both options look great, but I have a hunch you will come up with more ideas before you finalise the upstairs floorplan haha. Either way excited to come down and muck in peeps! 🧡

100% option 2 and I personally would pinch an extra foot or so from the dressing area and put a bath in as this is a forever home! Nothing better than mum or dad having a soak after a day with the kids etc… remember no rush do when funds allow….I am so excited for you both can’t wait for you to get started. Good luck from Caroline 👊🏻

Can't wait to see what you do I thought you would put sitting room upstairs and bedrooms downstairs as it is such a big space but it's going to be fab whatever you do I'm moving into my parents old bungalow Fri be renovating too so be great to watch you too

Awesome Anne, that sounds super exciting, good luck! We did forget to mention it will be a 4 bed house, with 2 bedrooms downstairs, a lounge, utility, bathroom and kitchen diner. So still a substantial gaff! 🤗

Option 2 if funds allow. Master bedroom will be much better with en-suite.

Option 2 Services are located on the same side, so it’s just a case of running the hot and cold pipes underneath the flooring, waste pipe maybe a bit tricky, joining both toilets to the waste pipe, mainly depends on toilet location in both bathrooms and the fall of the pipe. Looking forward to the next and future episodes

All things to be thought about in due course for sure, we can’t wait to get into the logistics of these things and start working the renovation plans out… some really exciting times ahead 🥰🤗

Hi Harry and Nicky, I would go with the wildcard option with the dormers and have a family bathroom with an en suite to the master bedroom!

Best use of space is the 2 en suites, and adds more value I would think.

We’re currently having a similar debate - my husband, son and I are about to move into a four-bed with just one family bathroom. We don’t have the budget to extend, so I’m considering turning the box room into an en-suite for the master bedroom. My husband is worried we’d be devaluing the house by losing a bedroom, but as we’re planning to live there for 10+ years I think it’ll be worth it.

Just found your channel! So much to catch up omg ! We are looking to buy our first home 🏠

Option 2 with the two front dormers and move the stairs if the budget allows. This will add so much value to the home and curb appeal if again the budget will allow it. It sounds like you have a great architect especially since she is already finding ways to save money so I would talk to her again and see if she can find anywhere else you might be able to free up funds in the budget.

@NickyandHarri 13 күн бұрын

100%, she’s unbelievable- so glad she gets the fact that we’re on a budget: think we’d have to squeeze every single penny to get 2 front dormers though 😢

@johannaengman2594 11 күн бұрын

Option 2 but I would make the left bathroom a bit smaller. It is really big on the drawing, make no sense. Then you can have a closet in that bedroom as well even if it is smaller. It also means less space to water proof which is expensive. It it is possible to have 3 bedrooms and 2 bathroom then that is the best.

Have you thought about swapping the bedroom round and having doors that open on to the new kitchen rooftop and having it as a patio. So you can sit there and have a good view

@NickyandHarri 11 күн бұрын

We’ve thought about it, but it means making the ceiling structural and planning permission might be more difficult

@sefidinar7164 13 күн бұрын

Having a note of your own private bathroom is very important however having an ensuite the bedroom tour is maybe not as significant so it does seem a little weird have two ensuite as opposed to one ensuite and one communal bathroom if you were going to add a third bedroom at one point

@NickyandHarri 13 күн бұрын

You’re not wrong: we will have 2 bedrooms and a shower room downstairs though, so it’s difficult to gauge the need of a family bathroom upstairs!

@sefidinar7164 13 күн бұрын

Oh my gosh can’t believe you guys replied. if you guys have a downstairs two bedrooms and shower room then fair enough the ensuite probably needed. love your guises videos I find it really cool that you guys are taking on such a cool project by ourselves. Are you guys all the best you guys replied.

I love all your videos. Might you get a taller tripod for your camera so you don’t have to bend down in every set up/shot? It looks uncomfortable and not great for your posture. Thanks again for these great videos. Good luck!

Ide go with the 3bed option and have bathroom for the 2 bedeooms and pigy back and ensuite on the back in bedroom 1

@rebeccalucy1 12 күн бұрын

Option 2. As the parent of boys there is nooo way i would ever buy a house without a master ensuite. And as we have interstate guests come and stay i would never agree to share my bathroom with them. In an expensive house the buyer expects luxury, comfort and privacy
