Looking to enhance your living space in Ongar without the hassle and cost of moving? A loft conversion might be the ideal answer. At Absolute Lofts, we’ve helped numerous homeowners across Essex turn their unused loft spaces into stunning, functional areas that elevate both their properties and their lifestyles.
Whether you envision a new master bedroom, a sleek en suite, a quiet home office, or a multi-purpose family room, a loft conversion is a smart, cost effective way to increase your home’s value while customising it to suit your needs perfectly.
Tucked away in the heart of Essex, Ongar blends rural charm with convenient access to nearby towns and cities. Surrounded by picturesque villages like Fyfield, High Ongar, and Greensted, and just a short drive from bustling hubs like Brentwood and Epping, Ongar offers a peaceful retreat with strong community appeal. Known for its historic high street, green countryside, and quality schools, it’s a popular choice for families and professionals alike.
Ongar features a mix of housing styles, from traditional cottages to modern detached homes and semi-detached properties built in recent decades. Many of these homes come with generous loft spaces and robust roof structures, ideal for conversions. Whether you’re near the vibrant Ongar High Street or the tranquil edges by Shelley, your home could be hiding valuable potential.
Ongar’s location provides straightforward connections. The A414 and M11 link you to Chelmsford, Harlow, and London, while Epping’s Central Line station is just 15 minutes away, offering quick trips to the capital. A loft conversion lets you enjoy Ongar’s serene setting while adapting your home for modern living.
With Essex property prices climbing and moving costs stacking up, think stamp duty, legal fees, and removal expenses—relocating can easily drain your budget. Plus, leaving Ongar’s tight-knit community and scenic surroundings might not appeal.
A loft conversion keeps you in the area you love while delivering the space you need. Experts estimate a quality loft conversion can raise your home’s value by up to 20%, making it a savvy investment and a practical upgrade for your changing lifestyle.

Case studies of completed lofts
Great for homes with good loft space height, Velux conversions add chic roof windows without changing the roof shape. It’s a fast, budget-friendly option for a bright study or snug bedroom in Ongar.
A favourite in Ongar, dormer conversions add a box, like extension to the roof, increasing space and height. Ideal for a roomy bedroom or en suite.
Perfect for sloped ‘hip’ roofs, this option creates a vertical gable wall, often with a dormer, unlocking space for growing families in Ongar’s modern homes.
Suited to homes with rear extensions, this links two dormers, one on the main roof, one on the back—for multi-room setups like a bedroom and bathroom.
This dramatic style reshapes the roof into a steep, flat topped design with dormer windows, offering major space and a fresh look. Planning permission might be required.
