Adding an L-shaped loft conversion to your home is a great way to increase the space while also adding value to your property. Perhaps you have a growing family, you’re looking to create some extra income with a rent-out room, or you want a quiet space you can call your own in a busy household., Midland County Lofts work around the West Midlands to provide loft conversions that meet your needs.

 What is an L-Shaped Loft Conversion?

Moving house to increase your space can be a large and stressful process, and even unnecessary when there are options like loft conversions. As a more affordable option, L-shaped loft conversions enable you to creatively build a bespoke room with space you already have! Utilising your loft space means optimising every corner or extending your roof to provide headspace that leaves room for an additional room.

An L-shaped loft conversion is when 2 dormer lofts are built that join together. Typically, one dormer is constructed on the rear outrigger roof and the other on the main roof, creating a distinctive L-shape. These types of conversions aren’t suited to all properties, mainly Edwardian or Victorian properties that already have an extension on the rear, known as a two-storey outrigger.

What are the Benefits of an L-Shaped Loft Conversion?

An L-shaped dormer loft conversion offers several key advantages:

  • More Space: The L-shaped layout creates additional headroom and floor space compared to a standard dormer, making it perfect for adding extra bedrooms or a larger living area.
  • Increased Natural Light: The design typically allows for more windows, bringing in extra natural light and improving ventilation within the loft.
  • Enhanced Appearance: The distinctive shape of an L-shaped dormer can boost the overall aesthetics of the property, increasing curb appeal.
  • Higher Property Value: A well-planned L-shaped dormer conversion can raise the value of your home and make it more appealing to prospective buyers.
  • Improved Functionality: With the extra space and light, this type of loft conversion can offer a more practical and comfortable living environment.

Designing an L-Shaped Loft Conversion

Loft conversions have the potential to be open, light and airy with additional windows, that can offer stunning panoramic views as well as letting in sunlight. L-shaped conversions are typically a little more spacious, or the way they’re designed allows for more separation between parts of the room. For example an ensuite master bedroom, or a seating area and reading nook in a large loft bedroom.

Do I need Planning Permission?

L-shaped dormer loft conversions typically don’t require planning permission, thanks to permitted development rules. However, at Simply Loft, we always advise checking your Local Authority’s planning policies, as they can differ by area.
