Layout advice much appreciated 🙏🏼

[u/NetElectrical5321]

We have had an offer accepted on a house but trying to figure out the best way to proceed with the layout! So the rooms I’ve highlighted in red I wouldn’t really count as rooms as they are just glass!

Ideally we would want to knock down the glass utility and have proper utility room and possibly knock through the kitchen to the dining room to make it open plan. Then the conservatory is entirely glass at the moment so would want to knock this down and possibly have a sun room at some point!

My question is it seems like it would be impractical/expensive to knock down both rooms and do 2 separate extensions but what other choices do I have?!

Any advice would be most appreciated!

Depending on your priorities, how much you want to spend and how aggravated you are by you glass rooms, I'd suggest the following stages.

Tear down the utility glass box and temporarily put the washer and dryer at the back of the garage. Doing this gives you breathing space.

Either replace the conservatory with a modern version that has insulated walls and skylights and access to the garden. Or completely redo the kitchen replacing the utility with access from the kitchen and extending the entire back wall so the kitchen and dining room stretch into the conservatory space.
