Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Floor plan with a rear balcony 13Oct 17, 2017 7:46 pm dsnewhome Hello everyone, We looked around and could not find a design where we can have a rear balcony running all the way through and have access from both the master bedroom as we well the leisure. So unless we go for a custom build, it looks like we may have to compromise a bit. So we may need to choose whether we have the leisure at the back or the master bedroom at the back (and that would open up to the rear balcony with the view) I wanted to pose a question to everyone and get some feedback. What room would you rather prefer to have at the rear when you have a view at the rear. Would you have the leisure at the back and have the master at the front or would you prefer to have the master at the back with the view and the leisure at the front instead. The street is very nice and quiet and so as such there is no issue with noise or anything of that sort at the front or at the rear. Wanted to know if anyone knows of any disadvantages in having either of the rooms at the back. Thank you again! Cheers! I would have master at front. Especially if the street is peaceful. I don’t usually hang out in my bedroom so if I was to sit somewhere and look at a nice view to have a drink or read a book I would do it in a rumpus room. Also if you want to use the space with guests this would be the better option. - View my blog at www.waldorfgrangebuild.wordpress.com Re: Floor plan with a rear balcony 15Oct 18, 2017 1:06 pm Thank you Waldorf_Grange_Build & PVBuild for your inputs! Yes I agree with you. Inclination is definitely towards having the leisure at the back. When I had googled previously, I found that plans have the master at the back when there is a view at the rear. And hence I thought I will pose the question in this forum and see if there are any advantages of having it that way that I may have missed out on. Thank you again to both of you Hi All, see above image.
