I have an internal porch which takes some of the space away from the
hall. There is a door from the porch to the outside and a door into
the hall. Both doors are single glazed and I am now planning to have
either one or both of them replaced by double glazed units.

If I have only the outer door replaced, I could dispense with the
porch completely and have a larger hall. However, I am wondering if
there is any use in having a porch at all.

What do you think? Would you keep the porch? What use is it?

Depends where you live. Ideal for taking wet boots off and not getting mud
indoors if you live up a lane in the middle of the country. Otherwise it
makes a good cloakroom for wet coats.

Also allows you to let callers out of the rain without letting them into
the house.
