Bobbo-
Thanks.. we only actually physically added a 3 x 2m GF seating area and a bay window in the living room. We just built the FF on top of the existing cavity walls and just incorporated what was the triangle of roof space into the bedrooms upstairs.. Older houses are great, they generally just need the spaces rationalised..

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..
