we have a new child on the way and guest room allows family (not all in UK) to come and stay, plus loads of our friends aren’t local so the guest room could mean we get to see people more if we can invite them.
The extra room lets us do something we couldn’t really do otherwise (have people over lots) whereas the extra kitchen / diner space is just more pleasant. How do you weigh those up? They’re both quality of life gains, just different ones.
Edit: realise this has got me into my torment over what to do which is a diversion from the ‘how to’ bit - which I kind of hoped would help answer that query! Hope I don’t sound too defensive - I just really can’t tell which bit would actually make the biggest lifestyle improvement, hence indecision...

Extra room might be a home office which well away from the rest of home life in the loft has benefits.

I mean there is a bit more to it than that? It would give better office space and a nicer master bedroom so we can have a decent guest bedroom, but is that essential? Vs a rear extension which doesn't give those things but makes the downstairs more pleasant to live, cook in etc.
Which of those is "need"?
