Bungalows have so much potential for additional space by adding an extra floor in your loft. You can utilise your loft to its full potential, increasing your storage and living space with Midland County Lofts’ bungalow loft conversions. Create an abundance of space with a new floor and fitted storage, adding a spare bedroom and ensuite for guests, an office for working from home or an additional living room area. 

Bungalows are often characterised by spacious floor plans and pitched roofs. While these features are appealing, they also conceal a significant untapped resource: the loft. In many cases, over 40% of a bungalow’s potential living space is left dormant in the attic. This vast, underutilised area presents a golden opportunity for homeowners to create additional rooms and enhance their property’s value.

Older bungalows, particularly those built before 1960, are often ideal candidates for loft conversions. These homes typically feature large, open loft spaces designed for storage, along with sturdy load-bearing walls that can support the weight of new rooms. Moreover, their steeply pitched roofs often eliminate the need for bulky dormer windows, simplifying the conversion process.

Suitable Types of Bungalow Loft Conversions

There are multiple types of loft conversions but for Bungalow loft conversions, Midland County Lofts recommends either: 

Dormer Loft Conversion

Dormers offer excellent head height and a versatile floor plan thanks to their rectangular shape. This makes them perfect for bungalow loft conversions, including adding an en suite bathroom. We can position dormers strategically to maximise space and light.

Hip-to-Gable Loft Conversion

Many semi-detached bungalows feature hipped roofs that slope down the sides. Converting this sloping roof into a gable end can create a spacious loft conversion with ample headroom. You can discuss the design elements of hip-to-gable bungalow loft conversions with our team. To see if it suits your property well. 

Mansard Loft Conversion

Transform your bungalow with a mansard loft conversion. This elegant design features a near-vertical wall that maximises head height, creating a spacious and stylish new room. Enjoy the feeling of a whole extra floor in your home.
