I am after feedback/ideas for how best to adjust this floorplan to suit. We have a large family (2 boys, 2 girls), boys 6 & 8, girls 4 & 5. Hopefully this home will be long term. It is 3 bedroom at the moment so the two boys/girls will each share rooms.
Which is better: kitchen where it is, overlooking yard; or move it to the middle and living then flows to external?
Is 2 toilets enough (one in main bath, one in ensuite) or should we be squeezing a 3rd in somewhere?
Laundry - small laundry wardrobe style or dedicated room? (bigger the laundry, smaller the bathroom(s).)
Bedrooms - we have an opportunity to create a small-ish 4th bedroom now, would it increase value? It would involve some minor configs and make living areas smaller.
Fireplaces - keep them, or demolish? Or save up and replace with gas feature? Brick chimney takes up a lot of room re furniture placement.
Wardrobes/storage needs installing as basically no storage space at present.
Long term may demolish/rebuild or add second storey. Land size 220m2 (big for inner city! but small to most people).
Attached is the current floorplan, and my ideas. Would love feedback/thoughts to my points! Does anyone know what type of professional to engage to give advice/ideas on this? Interior designer? Draftsperson? Architect? This won't be a major/super expensive exercise, will be as cheap and small scope as possible.
Likewise, don't want to need to then renovate significantly short term after moving in due to the turmoil doing this around kids!
Entire house size is about 110m2 internal (all areas), 9ft ceilings. Photos from sale listing
