Would agree with this.
Unless you are a fussy prick like me who wants things a very certain way.
25K would prob get you the rooms connected, just, and done badly, but no kitchen and we all know they start at £40k...

the curse of a graphic designer eh?
Glad I am not a graphic designer. -

I appreciate that this is tongue in cheek but in the interest of being helpful/offering some balance...
I've had a wall knocked out/supported between kitchen and DR, a new kitchen and appliances, a new roof and roof light and some plumbing work done for significantly less than £20k. It's functional but definitely nice enough (Howdens kitchens, stone worktops, lowish spec appliances)
No architect involved.
Definitely not knocking people who spend more (each to their own) but it doesn't have to cost the earth (Disclaimer - this was a hell of a lot of money to me but I'm glad I did it in hindsight)

Having done loads of conversions/extensions, IMO in your position you are better off buying 'done'. If you don't have a vision of what you want the whole process will be horrible - it's tiring, stressful, long, expensive and messy.
It's really worthwhile doing if you know what you want, but the process is still hard work.
Buy a place you really like as it is.
