Revised Floorplan Idea

Existing floorplan problems

There are a few things that I would like to change in the way the house is layed out.

1. Main House Floorplan - at transfer of title

New floorplan options

The first change that has been effected already is the reopening of the closed-off doorways in the old school building. They are the external door into bedroom one (originally the parlour), and the internal door between the two bedrooms (originally from the parlour into the main bedroom).

The remaining are possible future changes.

1. The laundry and the 2nd shower/toilet would be combined, still accessed from the current dining/family room.

Pros:

Cons:

2. The breakfast room becomes a mudroom with a sliding or bifold door to create a vestibule at the side entry.

Pros:

Cons:

3. Removal of the wash basin nook off the main entry hall and the linen/pantry cupboard that backs onto it from the other side to create a passage from the main entry hallway into the extension areas.

Pros:

Cons:

4. Conversion of the Dining/Family room to be the kitchen, making the current kitchen a dining/family room.

Pros:

Cons:

2. Main House Floorplan - after proposed alterations

Reopened doorways in the old schoolhouse

Why reopen the original doorways? Because they are original and they are there, but also to create options for how the rooms are used. They may be configured as separate rooms or they may be combined as a suite with separate external access, etc.
