Inner room

dazag

Looking for some guidance and advice..

We are purchasing a bungalow, 1970's style. Basically it was extended a number of years ago but instead of closing up the original rear windows they left them and now there are windows and a door out to the extension, which have left 2 large interconnecting inner rooms.

My question:

Can we block up with back wall where the original window is and put skylights in both rooms? Will this suffice as per building fire/safety regs?
I do have the option to put on outside window in the side of one of the rooms but the other is completely an inner room - access through others rooms/hall.

Question 2?

What kind of money would I be looking at

- fill window
-put in new window in outside wall
- put in a large roof light in both rooms
- add new door to one bedroom

Thanks in advance

Re fire regs if the inner windowless room were defined as a reception room not a bed room it'd might be ok but if its used as a bedroom maybe an interconnecting door between the two rooms would suffice as an alternative means of escape, honestly thats for one more knowledgeable than me on the matter.
