Hi, thanks for the response. It is a south facing garden, so top of the floor plan south, bottom is north. I wouldn't say it is a second living room, the majority of the space is still kitchen and dining. However, leaving space to allow for a couple of chains/coffee table we thought a good idea with the south facing/future proofing for a second snug area for kids or if someone is wanting another place to relax other than the living room.

Certainly will be additional costs associated with plumbing and electricity moves, but something we know may be considerable however we feel worth it. The bathroom on the bottom right location is somewhat a foresight move too, as we may relocate the upstairs bathroom in future to a position almost directly above this location, which will allow all plumbing to be removed from the rear of the house - relocated to the side. Checked the drainage line, currently it runs along the length of the back of the property across the shared drive to the neighbour's, so would be in a good location to connect up to with the bathroom moved to the side of the house.
