It is a bit strange, but the majority of the houses in this area have or had the identical layout so you can see different things that can be done with them.
Ideally we'd want to try to squeeze a bathroom up there and keep three beds (and try not to block future access to the loft).
But first we need to find a house we can afford to buy with something left over to do this work - then find a way to live and work while the work gets done.
There's a lot of moving parts to this move.

Lw.
That's an odd layout! What are you going to do, lose the 3rd bedroom and move the bathroom upstairs?
We've just had a full width single story extension done (3x5m) plus knocking through an internal wall incl steels and new kitchen - about 100k inc VAT. That was with me doing the flooring & a load of other DIY-able bits too. You'd save on the knock-through and steels costs as that's already been done but the extra work for the 1st floor would take all that & more. So I'd have thought 100-150 range but the spread of quotes we had, it could be way more if you wanted it to be!
