Replace Victorian Floorboards with solid floor???

[Chris1991]

Hello I have an old Victorian terrace house. On the ground floor all I have is a kitchen (the house has been seperated into 2 dwellings)
My kitchen is floorboards over a crawl space..
I'd like to have a more solid floor so I can lay tiles etc but also because of silly things like the washing machine feeling like its shaking the house to bits whenever it spins on the floorboards... The wooden floors in the rest of the house I love but I would be a lot happier with a nice solid ground floor.

Any ideas on my options??
In an ideal world I would love to just pull up the floorboards and fill with concrete but I'm told this isn't that simple sadly!!

Replacing a suspended floor with concrete can create all kinds of knock-on difficulties.

Millions of appliances (and pumps) are located on upper floors and work quietly and without shaking everything.

Research on this site (plumbing and appliance forums), and google for many tips - such as using rubber mat dampers and/or heavy concrete flags and more ...

Laying tiles is a separate issue - why not post a separate question?

I don't specifically want to lay tiles but would like the floor surface to be flat and strong enough should I wish too. Currently the floor dips off to the wall and just doesn't have that nice solid feel Like in my stone hallway.. Some people have said to put down a damp proof membrane and get it filled with cement, others say about removing all the floorboards and laying 18mm ply followed by self levelling mix
Any ideas??
