Loft conversion with rear dormer extension recently completed in Walthamstow E17, East London to create a master bedroom space with ensuite. Loft conversions are a cost effective way to extend a house if the existing roof is suitable and the ridge high enough. For this project the loft floor and ceiling to the 1st floor bedrooms below had to be lowered as the existing roof space was marginally too low. A full width dormer extension carried out under permitted development rules was added to the rear and a certificate of lawfulness secured (to avoid potential future conveyancing problems). A large window and rooflight together with light coloured finishes provide a well lit and pleasant space to use.
