Ha! Not bad... 15 minutes, I had money on sub 10.
Just about to have plans drawn up to convert one of the outbuildings, its 4m x 16m, if I could get it down for £1k per m2 I would be very happy. But it does need a complete new roof and floor, and some minor structural work.
Will take some photos for hive mind thoughts.

We hit £250k refurb cost, but we are outside London, and closer to 300 sqm.
I think a huge amount of it comes down to how much structural work needs doing, so have a list of things that might need doing, and it gets easier to price up. Some things to start with:
Roof: Does it need replacing? If so is it just the covering (tiles, slate whatever) or does some/all of the structure need repairing
Windows: New ones needed? if so what material.
External Walls: are they straight and sound? Rendered or bare? Does it need re-rendering or repointing?
Internal: Are you happy with the current layout? Where are the load bearing walls? Its much easier to move stud walls than load bearing.
I always find if you break it down to smaller projects it gets much easier to price up. We all know that a kitchen costs £40k...
