Loft conversion & Kitchen extension Newbie!
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 (13)Hello Jane. I cannot promise clever ideas but here goes. A loft conversion costs serious money as dos an extension. You have only just bought the house so I would first be inclined give yourselves time to grow into the space and learn how you all use it as a family. I would see if I could work with what I already have with a view to possibly doing major works at a later date. You have already explored the option of knocking through from the kitchen into the lounge. This is a good place to start. Cost is dependant on whether or not this is a supporting wall. I notice you have a small inner hall and under stair cupboard. Could you open up these two areas to enlarge the kitchen further? It would increase its size by a third. If you block off access into the kitchen from the hall you would create additional wall space for cupboards. For this to work you would need to move the existing door opening from the hall into the lounge further along the wall towards the front door. Locate the lounge to the front of the house and dining to the rear. It is a long room. You could keep it open plan or divide it with double doors set in a wall. Pocket or bifold would prevent them eating into the space. Or just have two narrow walls either side to visually divide the space. Not an arch, this costs more and you would lose the height which visually shrinks the space. Going back to the kitchen. You could block the rear door which would again allow for more wall space for cupboards. With all this wall space you could build a u shaped kitchen facing the dining area. You may have room for an island or peninsula. Double doors from the dining would take you out into the garden. Are you planning to demolish the outside stores? If you do you could install a window in the outside wall into your kitchen. Do you currently need the third bedroom? If you don’t and you lack space in the bedrooms for wardrobes then could you turn this bedroom into a walk in wardrobe? All these suggestions are relatively low cost in comparison to extensions and loft conversions. They buy you time because as sure as eggs are eggs you will change your mind....See More
