We have a nice old cottage on the property that we are considering renovating to rent out as a year-round residence. It is already winter-insulated but lacks a kitchen/bathroom/toilet. Can we extend it into this "rendered part" of the house? By the way, what is this type of room called and why does the house have one?

I'm just wondering if it would be bad in terms of moisture to install internal waterproofing on the entire room, put up some wet room wallpaper with a wet room mat on the floor. It would be a fun project for me to learn how to renovate a bathroom. So far, I don't know a thing about it, but I would mostly like to know if it's a bad idea for the house's sake!

A dimly lit room with a frosty window, wooden walls, and shelves cluttered with renovation tools and cleaning supplies. Tools and safety masks hanging on a wall in a room with unfinished plaster. Old cottage room corner with visible insulation, a light and toolbox on the floor, surrounded by leaves and debris. Discussing renovation feasibility. View from inside a rustic structure with concrete walls and a green door, looking outside to a snowy yard and trees. Shelving and a tool are visible. Close-up view of insulation material inside an old plaster wall, showing the building's rustic construction details. The side of an old cottage with a red wooden wall and rough plaster surface, adjacent to a metal ladder, snowy ground underneath. Stone foundation with rocks and debris under a wooden structure, possibly part of an old cottage, with some snow and grass in the foreground. Old cottage with red and beige wall, green door, and windows. Snow and sparse vegetation surround the building.

Everything is possible. Start by checking if a building permit is needed.
