Loft conversion plans
We are just finalising the plans for our loft conversion which will be started in a month or so. We are trying to squeeze 3 bedrooms in to the design and cannot afford to raise the roof so there are a number of compromises to be made.
Our kitchen will end up very small but we've just renovated the bathroom so don't want to take space from there for the stairs.
The bathroom will be small with reduced head height.
The two small bedrooms will be very small but we feel its important for our children to have a small space of their own. The door on one bedroom looks like it can't be a full door so any creative ideas to resolve this welcomed.
We have gone with a small shower room accessed from the hallway rather than an ensuite so that everyone can access the bathroom without going through the main bedroom.
I would appreciate as many eyes on the layout as possible before we finalise the details so please do take a look.

Loft or side return??
Comments (4)Three bedrooms will always be worth more than 2. If there is enough headroom I would take loft stairs up above the main staircase - from the cupboard position. Leave a landing and corridor to the bathroom and partition off a tiny bedroom/nursery/study. A lot depends on which way your roof is pitched. I would get a few loft companies in to tell you what is possible within a limited budget. If and when you get the money it might be possible to close the existing back door and refigure the kitchen units to allow a lobby and door opening out toilet and use the toilet door as your back door. A downstairs toilet is heaven sent when you have children!...See MoreOur new loft conversion

As a house that size shouldn't have such a tight kitchen.

4 years agoThis is the final design. We left the widow in the hallway to provide light to the stairs and downstairs hallway. Both single rooms will have full size doors now and the bathroom will be much more use able.
We are due to have baby number 5 in May so the extra bedrooms are important to us. Our children love sharing at the moment but as the older ones get older they want their own spaces however small.
We can always knock the rooms back through for a small cost later on if it proves the wrong decision...
We are very pleased with the changes to the design so thank you thank you thank you for all the help.
