Bungalow refurb/remodel - What is achievable for £120k

[NickK]

Hi,

 

We have offered on a bungalow near us. From pictures, you can see it is a project but I believe we can turn it into something special for us. Lots of bungalow on the street have gone up in the loft (lots of space with about 2.8m from floorboard to the ridge beam).

 

Question is simple, if you had around £120k, what do you think could be achieved? We are considering:

 

1) Taking the cloakroom road to open up the hallway and make space for a staircase.

2) Bring the front the flush with outside and install small sidelight.

3) Square of the bathroom downstairs and turn into shower room.

4) Retain all 3 bedroom at the front.

5) Extend 3m out but retain wall in between living room and kitchen.

6) 1 window and French doors on the back.

7) Ideally hip roof onto hip-to-gable roof conversion upstairs.

8 - Use space in the kitchen to create a utility room next to a bathroom.

9 - Upstairs flat roof dormer on one side above the bathroom to allow for upstairs bathroom with a bath, headroom for staircase and extra room in the front room that would retain hip roof at the front

10 - Hip to gable at the back.

11 - 2 velux in both rooms.

 

Garden is south facing therefore want to go easy on glazing.

House supposedly rewired about 28 years ago (should I still budget for rewire?)

All would need complete replastering.

Floor is solid concrete.

 

Naturally, turn-key would be great if we can afford it but happy to do bits and bobs (removing old plaster, plaster boarding, decorating, flooring, tiling, general labouring).

 

I know it is like 'how long is a piece of string' question but keen to hear your opinions regardless. If I live in cuckou land or have alternative suggestions, let me know.

 

Thanks,

 

Nick
