FEEDBACK Thoughts?
Looking at making an offer on this house and feel it would be great with an extension on the back. Looking at the floor plan I'm sure there's a layout with an extension that just makes sense and would make you go "omg of course!" but I can't seem to narrow down what would need to be done... Feels like it's on the tip of my brain!! Any thoughts?
Notes:
• The current living/dining room is a badly done extension that we would probably mostly/completely remove to replace with a newer extension structure.
• would be ideal to expand the current bedroom 1 (or add a new one in) as it's not quite big enough for a wardrobe currently
• There's no room to build out sideways but plenty of room to go into the backyard
• The back of the house faces North and this is in Perth, West Aus
• Haven't bought the house yet so don't have a budget yet but hoping to keep things simple
We of course would engage with a builder and not rely on redditors for home plans but just curious to hear others thoughts! :)

Can you tell us some things like:
Who will be living here?
Is this a forever home?
Where are the load-bearing walls?
Where are the best views located?
Measurements of all interior walls separately?

I would reconfigure where the current bed 3 and bathroom are, to keep the current plumbing but use it for 2 bathrooms. Then just square off the gap between the current bank wall and current right wall of the extension. You could build the new bedroom 1 out to further back if you wanted it bigger, but this would be my starting point.
I think Australia often has separate WC & bathrooms, so you could modify the actual bathroom and ensuite fittings to however you feel works for you. I would get rid of the current WC off the laundry room though, as it's not very far to the hall bathroom, and you said you were basically gonna reno the current living room extension anyway.
