Were you to have asked .. how much to rewire, or re-plumb, or re-roof, or fit new windows, or new doors then you might get some answers.
But I am afraid we dont know to what degree you are refurbishing ... what spec do you require, what is your budget. Geographics play a big part in the price. It really is 'how long is a bit of string'.
Were I to ask you how much to paint a room, could you come up with an answer .. think about the question .. the room in question is the one I am standing in at the moment !

Sorry Guys, Size of the house are: Lounge (12' x 11') Bedroom One (11' x 8') Bedroom Two (12' x 13') Bedroom Three (11' x 10') Kitchen (18' x 9') Bathroom (10' x 7'). All windows need to refit to double glazed, re-wire needed, new kitchen, floors need refit and walls repaint. Could all these be done under 15K? Many thanks.
15K is actually only 12.5k plus VAT.
Even if it was the whole 15k, I would be very suspicious of anyone who could do that much work for that price... even in Somerset.
It would be possible if you did the work yourself, but I'm afraid Chang, that I can't see it working if you hired everyone in.
The other consideration is that there would be no allowance for unseen problems. Things that might come up as you go along.
Believe me, there will inevitably be more that needs doing.

Are they floorboards or chipboard?
I would think about laying a new floor over the old. The only thing you would have to do is to take 20mm off the bottoms of the doors.
That's a lot easier than ripping up old floors and replacing them.
Also think about good quality laminate flooring.
Patch up any holes in the floors and lay it on top. They just click together.

I use Howdens, which is a trade only merchant. I wouldn't pay less than £30 a square metre. You can get laminated for well under a tenner, but I wouldn't go near it. It's awful... usually.
I guess carpet is about the same cost per square for something decent.
Add to that, a good foam underlay 3mm thick. It's essential.
If you rip up the floors, you'll have to maybe take off some skirting boards. You don't need to do that with laminate.
Also, you won't need to cover the floor with chipboard first. You would with carpet. so there's a saving.
Easiest way is to get a local flooring company in to give you a quote.
Same for carpet.
Laying laminate will of course cost more than carpet, but I can't give you any idea without seeing the floors first.
