MANSARD LOFT CONVERSION IN DURBAN ROAD, BECKENHAM, BROMLEY, SOUTH EAST LONDON
A mid-terrace Mansard loft conversion in Beckenham adds a huge new master bedroom with en-suite.
Sometimes, a client wants more space than a dormer will allow for. In those cases, our expert consultants might recommend a Mansard conversion. Such was the case for this property in Durban Road, Beckenham.
The client wanted a new master bedroom with en suite. While a dormer conversion would normally be enough, they wanted more space than would be possible in this case. Mansard conversions, however, come with additional considerations. Dormers don't usually require planning permission, but Mansard conversions do. This is because the entire structure of the roof needs to be modified, and councils want to make sure the structural integrity is maintained. In exchange for this extra hassle, the loft conversion gets a lot of extra headroom, which translates into more usable space.
Econoloft were able to help secure planning permission. Our engineers know exactly how to design a suitable Mansard, and forty years of experience working with councils allowed us to take the stress out of the entire process. A beautiful Mansard was soon installed on the property.
The extra headroom given by the mansard meant that the clients were free to place their bed in the centre of the room, without using any of the space-saving design tricks usually employed in dormer conversions. Gorgeous floor-to-ceiling Velux windows afford an incredible view of the back garden, while additional Velux rooflights at the front provide natural light when the sun is on the other side of the house.
The room is decorated with elegant white walls, with faux-wood vinyl flooring. The en-suite bathroom contains a shower, as well as a lavatory and sink, with beige tiles and chrome fittings.
