An Excellent Modern Terrace Plan
I thought I would post a plan of a terraced house I ran across recently.
The small estate of houses was built in 2004. Typical but pleasant modern houses, but this 2.5 storey terrace has a notably efficient layout.
In the overall footprint of 5m by 9m (including external walls) includes 1047 sqft, and includes:
- Large lounge 12' x 16'.
- Dining room 8' x 10' attached to 10' x 7' kitchen
- Three double bedrooms (one ensuite)
- Family bathroom
- Small utility
- A reasonable amount of storage
Here is the Plan:
I like:
- That circulation space is minimised to around 10%.
- That each bedroom has space for bed + chair + desk, even though bed 3 at 9' x 11' is tight.
- That there is space for a workdesk on the middle landing should it be needed.
- That the layout is reasonably flexible.
Should it be desired, bedroom 2 could be made into 2 singles of 8'5" x 8' each, which is still larger than most 3rd bedrooms even in semi-detached houses, or could have its own ensuite included.
Looking at the plan a decade later, I think there are only three things I would change:
- Remove the wall between the kitchen and the dining room to create an open space, and insert a small breakfast bar.
- Add a roof window or two to the rear aspect of the Master Bedroom.
- Make changes necessary to comply with more recent regs - especially around disabled access.
