You would have a major problem with the building regulations.

It's very much out of the ordinary.

This would be an incredibly expensive job to carry out too.


No more than putting any other kind of extra story on.

Minimum thermal insulation levels.
The roof would need to be removed and a completely different specially

timber work.)
Depending on the area, there might well be planning difficulties.
Possibly objections from neighbours too (if any)
