As often as the OP emphasized in the opening post that divisibility is important, it is pointless to criticize this point.
Unfortunately, the fact is that this is not true! It is divisible with a caveat, but not convertible!
What do you particularly like? Why? Flexible and convertible floor plan, you could later make two units out of it
you cannot do without: Floor plan should remain convertible
It is now split into 2 residential units. That is not a possibility to convert.
It is important to us that the single-family house can be divided into two residential units
What do you not like? Why? Too much living space wasted on hall/corridor/stairs
Because division is the top priority and therefore creates 3 corridors.
Can the hall/corridor/stairs be reduced?
Yes, for example with a more open and generous single-family house concept.
The caveat is something like this, for example:
Who wants to use something like this as the main bathroom “in old age” or later after division, after having used over 10 sqm?
Or this here: who can reasonably furnish the bedroom with a wardrobe and double bed (“age-appropriate”) or at all with a width of 2.85 m, if they previously had a dressing room?
-> The width of the bedroom would basically already be the problem here for both bedrooms.
Of course, one could remain on the upper floor and make the ground floor including the garden available to tenants. … but is that what you want?
I can only speak conditionally for myself: I don’t want any of that, not today and not in 20 years. I wouldn’t spend money on that. Not even rent.
And after having read a lot here in the forum, the first mistake in house planning is to put this as a later priority focus only.
I advise planning for your first 20 years. What happens then, you don’t know.
By the way, I find the justification for the “convertibility” to be missing. Two small children are already there anyway, so one can expect to use the house as one family for about 20 years.
