No idea, everything is hypothetical at the moment but there's a strong possibility. We were always going to do the loft and with a 2nd baby on the way it's definitely needed. We'll get an increase in downstairs living by removing the downstairs bathroom. I guess when you start looking at all the work it's easy to just want everything done.

How long do you think you will be where you are (maybe not long with a potential move to France)?
Dormers to traditional victorian houses are super ugly regardless of how long the larch cladding has been charred for, or the RAL colour of the PPC aluminium windows. It's also super rare that they offer anything over sub-standard space internally.
Regardless, a loft extension is likely to give you the best 'return on investment' (throws up in mouth). A side extension/general remodelling of the ground floor will give you the better quality of life (assuming you have enough bedrooms).
