Because of that big landing you could shift the whole staircase backwards to meet the bathroom wall and wind the top of the stairs so they come up and a right angle. That could give enough room to get the new stairs in and keep the front bedroom.
Depends what downstairs is like though.

Yeah cutting into bedroom 3 as others have said could do it stair wise.
The way I am doing a loft...
- Look up every loft plan on the planning portal for E17
- Do 10000000 plans myself based on previous architects drawings
- Research cladding for 4 months.
- Create extensive Figma and Notion files.
- Find cheapest builder
- Spend 6 months trying to get blood from a stone (aka an email reply)
- Bin off said builder who is a prick to the cost of £2K
- Find a more expensive builder thats a grown up that I should have chosen in the first place
- Another 6 months deciding on window size and shape.
- Get party wall going as neighbours always object to any work getting done because they can.
- Get plans redrawn by grown up (actual architect, not draftsman as per loft companies us).
- Melt.
I'd prob do it slightly differently to the above to be honest, just make sure you don't end up with PVC windows and you'll be fine.
Also everything @Sheppz said.

Starting to talk about a loft extension.
Where do we start?
Do you get one of those all in one firms round to work out ideas? In which case is it a soup-to-nuts affair, or do you still need to get an architect?
Our main question is how to deal with the stairscase, as that decides whether we loose a bedroom on the first floor, which decides what we need upstairs.
