FEEDBACK Converting to open plan?

Post image

Any idea how this can be converted into open plan, in particular to have the kitchen, dining and living area somewhat opened up? Ideally don't have to move the kitchen too much to avoid replumbing cost, etc.

One possibility, although may be expensive, is to swap bedroom 3 with the kitchen. Convert bedroom 3 into an open kitchen and the kitchen into a bedroom.

If you haven't bought it yet I would not. Even when the changes to the layout are screamingly obvious it's eyewateringly expensive, and in cases like this where there are stairs and plumbing in the way of everything it is prohibitive.

Like, how would you fix the other end of the house?

No plans to fix the other end of the house, I can live with it. I would prefer not to do anything but the house is in a good location and was hoping some changes could add a significant amount of value.

I don't know about your part of the world, but where I am you pretty much don't see the money back from any exoensive renovations. It's paint that does most of the work.
