Loft conversion & Kitchen extension Newbie!

last year
Hello Houzz team,
This is my first post! Looking to convert a loft and have a kitchen extension done and am at the very beginning. The house is in Charlton south east London, and is split level. Other homes on the street have done a step-down sort of loft conversion (not sure of the term).
I’d love to know your ideas on rough ideas of cost for these two projects as we budget. Here’s a floor plan of what we would be starting with and what we’d hope to achieve (based on a similar house).
The kitchen rear extension would be high spec and about 3.4m by 3.1m with a large lantern roof light and full width bi-fold doors.
And the loft conversion would also be high spec with a 3.24 by 3.13 bedroom, and
5.23 by 4.75 bedroom and bathroom, with as large windows as possible! With the step down split level thing.
Does anyone have a rough idea how much this would cost?
Thank you!

Comments (38)Hi ... As you see on my profile picture, the front door is very much at the office, the only way to reach the house is via the main driveway to the black door. It's because the driveway is so long, the house is behind another house, and currently we dont have our "own" boundaries at the side of the driveway at the main road to post a sign on that some have an issue finding us....we will get to rectifying that. Even if we did allow access via the path to the utility room (which we dont want to do), that path also doesnt reach the main road either, and looks like an entrance to the new telephone exchange next door with identical gate to theirs (we are the "old" exchange). The main door was the utility but now I changed things and put the new entrance in, it's very obvious that going further than the office front door is private. Trust me... bloke with a sledge hammer has happened here already, several men 2200Watt demolition hammers... this place doesnt wan't to budge! I agree on the macerator, but it's the only way, I have however taken heed and re-planned to to only need one, not crazy 3. None of the internal walls are structural so to speak... apart from holding up the ceiling, which I add that is not sufficient as an upstairs floor using beams that should have been bigger than there is. The house is adapting through stages of also being able to live in it. While we tear down one part of the house, 2 bedrooms needed to be in service, the one bathroom retained, and the kitchen/laundry are going nowhere. Currenty the newly "finished" rooms are the Office, kitchen, Laundry, Bedrooms 2 & 3, the hallway(stairwell) shaped up and about to cut the bathroom door, the in floor electrics are in the living room, 65" wall mounted tv. Basically, we are working from one end to the other whilst keeping it liveable. Upstairs is future /maybe at this point. To be brutally honest, I dont think the architect has given it a thought, and in the latest plan actually removed a steel truss to make rooms look like will work, odd cupboards at the extremes, diagonal steel truss through bathroom, no thought to head height or where the plumbing services are. I'm sending a plan back with everything stripped out of the loft bar the master bedroom because of this... What I want to know, is how we are going to construct the floor and ventilate the loft etc... I cant say I'm enjoying it anyway, and I thought it was going to be and exciting move for the money :(...See MoreMaida Vale - Private residence - before & after loft conversion
Comments (2)Fantastic job, it'a slightly too minimal for me personally but love what you've done. I particularly like the styling of the fireplace and love the kitchen....See MoreLoft conversion plans
Comments (10)Bed 4 - since you said space is so tight in the 2 smaller rooms upstairs, I would re-think the plan for bed 4 - there is a large 4sqm space on entering the room - what are you planning putting there..... if its just a case of 'well thats the space thats left due to the bathroom' then perhaps the space could be used better. What is the point of the bit with velux outside of bed 6? Isnt that space that would be better used as part of a bedroom? What is the A/C (cupboard) outside of bed 5 - if it is just a cupboard, it is taking up space which could be part of the bedroom. I would shift that over to outside bed 6 and it could be taking up some of that space that I think would end up as dead space in bed 6. Doing above, your hallway could also be a bit narrower than shown on the plan - this would make the 2 smaller bedrooms bigger....See More
