You've been given an incredible opportunity to make something special. At least allow the plans to unfold at a natural pace, just to see where they go. Then make the call.
That's what I was getting at.

In honesty, with the space you've been given, I'd see if I could find somebody else to set up with. If they can inject £3k too, you'll have £6k. Plus, with their existing kit, you'll end up with a larger array of audio equipment (which you'll need for the studio).

In essence, easiest way of putting it.

You have the equipment and budget of a Hobbyist Basement Studio.
You have the building with potential to be a Superb Professional Studio

so unless you want to make your superb professional building a reasonable hobbyist basement, you need to get your budget and kit up to superb professional standard! And it's not as hard, nor expensive, as you might think!

For the record, you understood me completely re: angled walls. The caviat being, if you follow therealbigd's advice about a CR window at your side, THAT wall with the window would need to be a true angled wall, with a very well thought out bounce pattern to make sure the reflections of that window doesn't smack you in the ear.
This is true. But it's been done in our place to great effect. Though yes, I do forget that's an expensive way of going as it does need to be though out.
