The next project, we’ve been dreading, is the master bedroom.
Its a big room, 7.5m x 4.5m, which was basically decorated when we moved in but otherwise left untouched.
Plan is to take it back to brick on the external and party walls and insulate and sound proof.
New ceilings, and floor lifted for sound insulation.
We will also add a small narrow en-suite (4m x 0.8m) at the far end of the room by the bay window. Sounds too narrow but there will be large double door over the middle third of it, with one corner a walk-in shower and the other corner a toilet. So it’s more like a bathroom on a cupboard. That’s the idea anyway, we’ll see how it transpires!
What are you planning to insulate and sound proof with? I'm going to be doing some very similar stuff over the next year or so and am struggling to choose products for this!The next project, we’ve been dreading, is the master bedroom.

Is it because your looking for minimal internal depth loss before it effects architecture / openings? Or ?
Moisture is one of my main concerns are house is Victorian (stone built front, brick built rear) with no cavity walls and it seems to be a minefield when looking at internal insulation options. I’m willing to accept a reasonable amount of internal space loss and the design of most of our windows means we wouldn’t loose much in the way or architectural details.
