Cunning plan....NOT!

If you don't want a doorway, what about a serving hatch that you could close with a little door, or a window that might let light through between the 2 rooms?

A lot of older (50's/60's/70s?) houses had serving hatches and the first thing a new buyer did was block them up!  I'm not really worried about the re-sale value as that will be down to my offspring when I snuff it!

The problem, or not as I see it, will be that by adding a doorway or even a cut out in the wall, will be that I can look from the front room to the back room and also out of the French doors which are opposite the woodburner. I still haven't finished tiling the bathroom or sorting the bedrooms yet so the house is going to be full of half completed projects!

Another problem is that there is a double electrical socket in the very area I would like to demolish!
