A quick shufty on he old internet suggests you are looking at £30k plus for something respectable (our house is Grade II, so will have to meet guidelines and permissions etc) and I reckon I can build something for a third of that - more on that later if it goes ahead. For now though, I am considering the roof, and in particular the pointed roof lanterns that go on a flat roof to add height and light. Two questions:
Is there a 'normal' ratio for length x width, or is it whatever fits the space you have as a general rule?
The internal ceiling round the edge of the room - is there a minimum or maximum width for these that is recommended or again, whatever fits?
Proposal is to build something approx 5m x 3.6m as below, but early design stages currently:
