Help! Box room dilemma

We currently have our cottage on the market within less than 1 year of purchase because my husband wants to move because of this small bedroom! We have 2 children, 1 boy (6) and 1 girl (2) and was thinking when my son hits approx 9/10 and possibly starts growing out of toys and my daughter into them the to swap and put my son in the box room but my husband says it's just too small. I have my dream home in the right location and don't want to give it up, it's right next to there school all there friends and has a 60 ft garden. We have looked into an article conversation but it's too small. The dimensions of the room are 5.7ft wide by 6.8ft length. A single beds width is on the door frame so thinking we are going to have to have custom made. Looking for ideas, suggestions on our situation (kind words only please) and opinions on anyone who has had a small room as a bedroom.

Extend into the loft and sacrifice that room for the new staircase. Keep the sill as a reading nook with some handy narrow bookshelves and maybe a cupboard for household linen storage.

Can you do a mezzanine in the loft just for that room some how so sleep in the downstairs and den/storage in the roof.
