We did this to a 50's bungalow.. Great area and we lived in it with minor alterations for a few years.. avocado bathroom etc.. then took the plunge and changed the 2 bedrooms upstairs into 4 bedrooms and bathroom and large landing.. worth the effort and managed to live in the house while the work was going on.. Only moved for 3 weeks when the kitchen was getting done.. and it wasn't even originally planned..
We pulled the roof off from the ridge back and created a large flat roof dormer along the entire length of the house.. I put the verges back on so from the road it looks like we have added a dormer window.. not a full extension.. before and after photo attached.. and also showing it's still a bungalow from the front..
Cracking job!
I know this is personal so no need to answer but i'm curious as to how much it cost you.
As in the planning / building side of things not internal decoration..
