Default Low ceiling Cellar / Basement, lower floor?

Hi,

I'm just about to make an offer on a terraced house which has a cellar,
however the ceilings height is only about 5' 8".

It seems to have a concrete floor and is pretty damp (sorry I don't
have more details but we only had a brief look round the cellar.

Thye question I have how feasible, either professionally or DIY, would
it be to lower the floor say 1' so that all though still low the height
would be suitable to stand up in for the majority of people?

Any cost guess-timates would be appreciated if it would be a
professional/specialist building company job.

Many thanks for any advice (even if it is only to say "don't be so
stupid").

Dave
