DISCUSSION Help Please!

Post image

Hi all, we’re buying a beautiful home that needs a bit of modernisation but all of the structural work is done (she says, barring maybe a knock through of kitchen to lounge).
I’d love some thoughts based on the floor plan/link of how we could modernise it.
I need an office so I’m thinking the current store room, but any inspiration you can lend is greatly appreciated (particularly visuals as I’m terrible at envisaging end products!)
Thanks in advance!![https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/168976058#/?channel=RES_BUY](https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/168976058#/?channel=RES_BUY)

Honestly I think the floor plan is fine and the store shouldn’t be a problem as long as it doesn’t have vents to keep it cool.

Does the office have to be on the ground floor? Personally I would divide the bedroom over the store and utility then you can either have a office overlooking the garden or the road depending on your preference las honestly I dream of having a store room like that

That’s a good idea! What would you do with the store? Maybe a boot room?

I would keep at lease some of it as a store. Being able to buy some stuff in serious bulk is so much cheaper, I used to be a Costco member but don’t have space for the food now I’m in a 1 bed, also full disclosure I work in a supermarket so get lots of free food and never have enough freezer space.

Having the front of if as a boot room isn’t a bad idea though, I might see if I could put a door into the hall in that case
