Answer 2

Clean it out.


Measure it ... all the dimensions... windows, uprights, horizontals....
Look for places where there is wiring... etc
and write that all down on a drawing ... where there are places for pipes from a downstairs bathroom if you want a bath or shower room in the attic....

dream about what you would like in that space .... write it all down...know what you want ... and then

consult an architect !

Depending on what kind of house you have you would just have to insulate the floor and wall and put the flooring down and the sheet rock up with the paint and make sure you do the electrical when you do the sheet rock. Good luck.
