Thanks for that I was thinking around the £15k mark, that'll put the other
half off! Planning will be a problem down here as Polperro is a
conservation area, I'm still waiting to hear whether I'm going get my
plastic windows or not, trouble is I'm not in the masons!

Any rough figures for the cost of a loft conversion, yeah I known how
long
is a piece of string! The loft isn't massive its a 2 bed semi mid
1800
house, the girlfriends ideas are to turn it into the master bedroom
with
on
suite.

There was a makeover prog. on tele last week covering this very topic.
Not sure of the precise details but seem to remember that the scheme
came to about £15k.

Included in this was an ensuite including walk-in shower, fixed
staircase,
dormer window and bedroom utilising the remaining total loft space.

A main consideration (apart from the suitability strengthwise of the
first
floor
cieling) is that the planning dept. will require the external appearance
of the
dormer window to be of a size and style to compliment properties nearby.

The skylight version would be an aternative and cheaper option but would
reduce available space and is perhaps only suitable for an extra
bedroom -not
the master.
