its from an estate agent afvert so no scale just the dimensions written on itwhat's the scale of the plan
That would be an ok sizeAssuming the location of the door is shown reasonably accurately then the bedroom is roughly 2.85m by 3.6m
cool i wouldn't have thought of doing thisSticking the floorplan into an image manipulation program, you can measure how long a reference feature is (for example, the bedroom underneath the one you intend to put the wall in) - 229px by 184px - divide number of pixels by known distance to get a rough estimate of "pixels/m" - around 51.5 in this case.
Measure distance you want to know (wall to centre of yellow line), divide by 51.5 and you get the rough distance - 2.95m I make it (double checking the width and it is 3.6m - that extra bit outside the toilet is not part of their measure!)
Presuming that's why the OP wants to wall it off? But the bathroom off the kitchen is a bit peculiar too, not to mention the toilet with no nearby hand washing.Ignoring maths for a moment, is it not a bit odd to have and opened planned bedroom like that? To get to the other bedrooms and WC you would need to go through that bedroom?
And be careful because IIRC estate agents nearly always put the longer dimension first, whether it’s across or up and down the drawing. Oh, and measure into bays, ignore chimney breasts, and in that middle room measure right across ignoring the stairwell…Never trust a plan, you can estimate the dimensions but go and measure it yourself! Could be that there are many similar properties like those in some endless terraces in London, might find dimensions in the www.

I don't think that works. Either the width of both the landing and the stairs has to be taken off the bedroom width, or alternatively the width of the landing has to be taken off the dining room width. Either way you end up with a bedroom width of around 8' 7" less a stud wall (which could be a bit less than 6").Given the diningrRoom is below the bedroom, you can work out some of the sizes. The dining room is 11'10" x 11'7", and the bedroom is 11'10" x 14'7", the only difference being the staircase. From this you can assume that the staircase is 3' wide.
I would think that the landing needs to be 3' wide as well, otherwise it may be difficult to get beds and wardrobes into the front bedroom. The thickness of the partition wall needs to be taken into account, so the room will be 14'7" - 3'0" (landing) - 0'6" (wall), i.e. 11"1' x 11'10". If the partition is not straight but zigzags into the landing near the front bedroom, you may be able to create a space for an inbuilt wardrobe without encroaching into the footprint of the room.
That's very odd - and isn't there a legal requirement for there to be two doors between any toilet and a food preparation area, or is that just for cafés and restaurants?But the bathroom off the kitchen is a bit peculiar too, not to mention the toilet with no nearby hand washing.
There may be such a rule for private houses, but there could be ‘grandfather rights’. I looked around a place in 2003 that had a toilet leading straight off the kitchen. However, the interior decor suggested that the house hadn’t been altered for at least twenty years.That's very odd - and isn't there a legal requirement for there to be two doors between any toilet and a food preparation area, or is that just for cafés and restaurants?
The floor plan in the OP does look very like that of a standard Victorian terraced house, so yes... quite possibly.There may be such a rule for private houses, but there could be ‘grandfather rights’.

It does look very like a Victorian terrace. Originally that would have been two up, two down, a lean-to kitchen and scullery out the back, and a toilet down the garden/yard. From experience, it is the recent add-on at the back that is most likely to be troublesome.The floor plan in the OP does look very like that of a standard Victorian terraced house, so yes... quite possibly.

So you end up with the bedroom about 8' 2" x 11' 10".
(For me, it'd be easier in metric, though no more spacious )

I rented in the mid 70s, and I think the two door rule was just coming into force, we had a bathroom at the back of the ground floor beyond the kitchen with what was seen as a wasted space between them.That's very odd - and isn't there a legal requirement for there to be two doors between any toilet and a food preparation area, or is that just for cafés and restaurants?

You haven’t been to Belgium, where there are many self-designed houses where toilets immediately abut kitchen and living areas. However, they do not seem as bothered about hiding toilet noises and smells as us. This is based on experience of four of my friends’ houses.That's very odd - and isn't there a legal requirement for there to be two doors between any toilet and a food preparation area, or is that just for cafés and restaurants?
