Can a shed be revamped/extended?

We have a 10x8 (I think), shed, which was used by the previous owners as an office. It has some insulation, lighting and sockets.

I have used it as a playroom/summer house for the past 5 years and it has served me well but it definitely needs some repairs. Eg. part of the flooring has gone a bit soft, probably due to water gathering under it. It is on a concrete base and has a side entrance, with a little "verandah" by the door. I would love a proper summer house but am wondering if I could extend the its life and usage by getting someone in to give it a revamp. I would like to extend the side of it and block off the door. I would like to open up the side (the long side) and put in some doors so I could sit with them open an look into the garden. We have someone who does work for us from time to time at a reasonable cost but wondered if I should just have it knocked down and start all over again. I will try and post pictures.
