You may find you have a sea view if you have a balcony at loft extension height!
Open up one of the bedrooms to part of the loft above. This gives the bedroom more head height. Add a mezzanine in the new head space. The one in the pic is an office, accessed by a removable ladder. I suppose the space beneath can be open or closed off , as here, for en-suite or storage. Use of balustrade and skylight.
The roof on the extension extends out over the patio on one side enabling patio to be used in more weathers.
A wood burning stove in the old unused fireplace
Before and after photos showing the old extension knocked down and new extension with doors set at an angle.
Hard to see in this photo but the doors to patio are set at an angle. The kitchen wall on the right extends more onto the patio than the wall on the left. So on one side there’s more kitchen and on the other side there’s more patio.

The open shelving is same paint colour as the walls so they blend in rather than stand out. The fitted storage going across the fireplace wall stands out in orange because it’s neater.
This unused fireplace still has a surround and mantelpiece and is used to store logs for the working fireplace. It also has a hearth area of floor.
