Enclosing an open porch

Options
We have an open porch I would like to close in but by that I mean moving our existing front door and window forward the length of the porch so creating a bigger external hallway. The space is only about 1 metre in length but would make a big difference inside.

What sort of cost could I expect for a job like this? I am thinking that the existing exterior walls and ceiling of the porch could be used, and there would be some electrics, moving the outside light and the light switch in the hallway, also there is a gas meter which could be diverted to the side of the house. Not sure if this image will be visible:

I can offer no resistance, I can offer no respite
Wake me when conflict is over,
I aim for a peaceful life,
Wake me up when the fury is ended
I like living a peaceful life
