We want to build a single-family house with 1 1/2 floors, a clipped hip roof - solid house at the beginning of next year.
We now have a floor plan that we could manage with (attached).
Our first and second biggest problem was that we want the large bathroom (with bathtub) on the ground floor as well as our bedroom.
This significantly increases the floor area.
Now my questions, where I hope to get some answers:
- Has anyone possibly had the same problem with the two rooms on the ground floor and what solution was found? Or does anyone have suggestions for the floor plan?
- Underfloor heating is certain, but which type of heating? At the moment we are looking at an air heat pump, as geothermal energy is too expensive to purchase. A fireplace stove is also fixed as well as a small solar system. Can someone share their experience with air heat pumps (noise level, efficiency)?
Our budget is €180,000. We have additionally planned €20,000 for incidental costs. Is this realistic for the project? We already have offers, but always have the feeling of not being taken seriously.
Would be very grateful for a few answers.
Regards
Petri
