The boiler is in with the cloaks cupboard
Outer lobby is an old fashioned idea, a dumping ground, an unusable room, generally this plan shows old fashioned use of space, small rooms, too many doors
No connection from kitchen to the lounge The window is not central as its positioned to look good from the outside The island is a maximum of 600mm wide
There is no where in this hallway to position a console table with lamps creating a nice entrance
Not wide enough to accommodate a hob The walkways between the island & perimeter is limited to 900mm Both the hob & the sink is against the wall
The utility is small and can only be accessed via the dining room through a door
A summary, an old fashioned kitchen design which is too small and ineffective for a house selling for 650k The dining room is in the wrong place, it is a transit room between the kitchen & the lounge & will become another dumping ground There is no visual impact upon entering the living space from the hall

Bedroom 4 is enlarged & becomes part of the master suite
Bedroom 5 becomes a very luxurious dressing room & en suite to a master suite
This bathroom is in effective & has bad access
The kitchen is too small to be enclosed through a door The study is small and private to the lounge A summary; Small boxy rooms, too many doors, especially the 2 accesses to the terrace which are not necessary & expensive, old fashioned use of space which doesn’t maximise the top floor with terrace
This lounge is small, the sofa would be a very small odd size
There are 5 internal doors & more walls to this plan making it a more expensive build The single door to the terrace is also excessive & not needed
