house layout vs. return on investment ??
Dear Group,
as threatened in my previous post, here's another ... I have a rather inconveniently laid out victorian terrace with the stairs in between the two rooms upstairs and down which means that you have to walk through the back bedroom to get to the bathroom - unless you halve the floor area by making a corridor around the edge - thus spoiling the better bedroom. http://uk.geocities.com/gentlegreeng...outchanges.JPG Since the stair treads and risers need replacing anyway (though with luck this would cost little more than the price of a sheet of MDF and one of plywood), it has been suggested I might have new stairs made and fitted in reverse at an estimated cost of at least £500. In the process I also get improved use of the alcoves for storage ... I can't predict whether I would be looking to sell or rent the house any time soon, but I wonder if someone could please take a look at my sketch and tell me if what I am suggesting is an improvement and "worth" the expense. thanks in anticipation Jeremy --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
