A loft area of 15 sq foot sounds very small (i.e. a house five feet deep

Didn't he say 13 ft square? That's 169 sq ft.

As in 13x13... could be, makes more sense that way ;-)

(I read the "13 ft square" as 13 sq feet which sounds more like a
cupboard than a house)

When I was a lad, they made a great fuss in school, during breaks from
beating the **** out of us, about the difference between n-feet square and
n-square feet. Now, of course, the SI convention is n M^2, meaning n-square
feet (or is it t'other way around), so it's no longer so clear. :-(
