Worth noting extensions will be a lot more than lofts, and cost is always a consideration.
Ta. Yeah conscious of this although it is hard to know how much - for us, I think rear extension wouldn’t need to be massive to improve the space (we’d just need room for a bigger kitchen without sacrificing too much dining room) but the patio out back makes it feel like it would be expensive for not many Sq Ft extra. Then again, as @hugo7 implies, we’d use it all the time. Loft we’d get more extra space for the cash, maybe use it less often but it would actually open up the chance of people staying with us much more, if we had a decent sized guest room.
In an ideal world we’d do loft for closer to the £45k end of the range plus a small extension that just allows us to have a nice size kitchen which (in my unrealistic dreams) costs not much. However I also like nice stuff and will probably be sad with the cheap versions of either, and I’m not sure if the same £ per sqm applies if you go small enough so the rear extension probably still ends up costing £££

Doesn't sound defensive at all, its really tough to weigh up and comes down to personal preference.
If you wanted to go nuts, you could draw out your week as a user flow and make pains/gains as per https://blog.prototypr.io/journey-mapping-pain-points-success-moments-ac2d6cbcafae and that may help you decide?
