    What else needs doing with £80k?  You need to stretch that already if you want two storeys. 


    Is the house detached or attached? 
    We have more to add to the budget if necessary. It’s detached. 

    Initially was thinking to build above the garage as that’s what others on the street have done.

    Extend back over the utility room and make this the family bathroom. Extend over the garage for your master/ensuite. The layout & size of the other rooms don't really lend themselves to making practical doubles, and bedrooms 3 & 4 are barely large enough as singles as it is. Removing the cupboard that encroaches into bedroom 2 would free up a bit of space.
    Whether you would achieve what you want out of £80K is debatable.

    Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –
