L-shaped mansard creating two bedrooms, one en-suite and a roof terrace
12 weeks
Our client was a first-time buyer who wanted to make better use of the available space within her Gunton Road property. Increasing the number of bedrooms would give her more flexibility in how the home could be occupied and create the potential to generate rental income in the future.
The layout needed to provide two properly separated bedrooms rather than one large open room. Privacy was important, particularly if the rooms were occupied independently, so the design placed the principal bedroom and en-suite towards the front of the new floor and a second bedroom towards the rear.
The rear room was also planned to connect with a roof terrace, adding valuable outside space to the property. An L-shaped mansard conversion provided the floor area and full-height accommodation needed to create this arrangement.
