This is 'sometime in the future' thinking - but has anyone done a loft conversion which is like posh boarding out with insulation in the rafters, ceiling and floor added, but no rooms? That's what I'd like to do - with 1 opening rooflight and an electrical socket or two. Maybe no fixed stair (so it doesn't become a 'habitable room'). Basically to make it a warm controlled space instead of a cold draughty space.
I did this several years ago which probably cost less than 5k but that was pre children. Currently selling that house (been renting it out) but can't market it as a habitable room.
It was done 'properly' with beams between party walls and new floor joists between the beams.
Yeah that's exactly the kind of thing I have in mind. Very much not a bedroom. Did you DIY it?
I'm nervous about not getting the vapour control and ventilation right and ending up with mouldy rafters. (But I think many builders don't get this right either.)
