Thank you for creating this, I can understand how the dual access from hall and living room would work. There would also be natural light in both the utility and w/c which would be ideal.

Okay good to know, I was conscious that such a move for the WC might be a great add on to the budget. Seems to be the best solution

Thank you, the drainage is something I’m now looking into further, much appreciated

Hi all, We’re planning a single-storey kitchen extension at the rear of the house and want to incorporate the existing ground-floor W/C into the new layout. We’re also considering removing the chimney breast in the lounge and putting up a stud wall instead to make that room slightly smaller but allow more usable space for the open-plan dining/kitchen area. Option 1: Move the W/C to the front of the house within a new utility room. My concern is that relocating the soil pipe might make this the more expensive option. Sewage hole is under the current conservatory floor. Option 2: Keep the W/C roughly in the centre of the house but reconfigure it — make it slimmer and longer to free up more space for the kitchen/dining area. Before we go too far down one route, I’d really appreciate any feedback or alternative layout ideas from people who’ve done similar extensions — especially if there’s a smarter or more cost-efficient way to handle the W/C location. Thanks in advance!
