Our clients, a young and growing family, chose Leytonstone as the perfect place to settle long-term. With its outstanding local schools, such as Davies Lane Primary and George Tomlinson School, plus easy access to green spaces like Wanstead Flats and Epping Forest, Leytonstone offered everything they were looking for in a family-friendly neighbourhood. The area’s excellent transport links — including Leytonstone Underground Station on the Central Line — made commuting into Central London fast and convenient.
Wanting to avoid the upheaval and cost of moving, they opted for a bespoke loft conversion to create the extra space their growing family required. The project focused on enlarging the children’s bedrooms to give them more room to grow, and included a dedicated loft office — providing a quiet, professional environment for working from home.
This Leytonstone loft conversion not only transformed their home to meet their evolving needs but also added significant value and future-proofed their property in this desirable East London location, known for attractions like the Hitchcock mosaics and proximity to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
"The loft conversion added masses of extra space, giving our clients their ideal home without the cost and stress of moving. Installing a home office is a win-win too as it allows comfortable home working but can double up as a handy guest room."
Sean, Project Manager
This beautifully executed L-shaped dormer loft conversion in Leytonstone added significant space and value to a charming East London family home. By designing and constructing a split-level layout, we were able to increase the property’s overall footprint by nearly a third, maximising unused loft space without the need to move house.
The new loft floorplan includes a generous children’s bedroom, a nursery, a dedicated home office, and a separate contemporary bathroom. This smart arrangement reflects what many growing families in Leytonstone are now looking for: multifunctional rooms that adapt to changing needs.
Access to the new loft is via a custom-built full-size staircase, carefully crafted to match the home’s original stairs, complete with turned spindles and traditional ball finials. This attention to detail ensures a seamless blend between the old and new, maintaining the character of the property while introducing modern space.
One of the standout features of this Leytonstone loft conversion is the abundant natural light. The new children’s bedroom benefits from two Velux roof windows and a sleek black aluminium door that opens to a minimalist glass Juliet balcony. This design choice not only increases safety but also frames leafy views of nearby Wanstead Flats.
To optimise the layout, we incorporated recessed shelving into the walls, a subtle yet effective storage solution that makes full use of alcoves and awkward corners often found in lofts. Painted in the same shade as the surrounding walls, these built-ins create a clean and cohesive finish while enhancing the sense of space.
In response to the growing need for home-working solutions in Leytonstone and beyond, the client’s new loft office is a perfect example of how to carve out a productive, private work environment. The room comfortably accommodates a large desk, shelving, and technology, all illuminated by a wide picture window that offers inspiring treetop views. It’s the ideal escape from the busy household below, enabling calls and meetings in peace.
The new loft bathroom brings a touch of hotel luxury into the home. Designed as a serene retreat, the space features a large walk-in shower with a frameless glass enclosure, on-trend herringbone tiling, and a built-in wall niche for convenience and style. It’s a functional yet indulgent space, perfect for busy mornings or unwinding after a long day.
From start to finish, this Leytonstone loft conversion was tailored to suit the lifestyle and long-term goals of our clients. The additional bedrooms, work-from-home space, and stunning bathroom have completely transformed the house, allowing the family to stay rooted in an area they love, close to George Tomlinson School, Hollow Ponds, and Leytonstone High Road.
Our clients were thrilled with the final result, describing it as the upgrade that made their property their “forever home.”
