Description: Loft conversion to create a 1-bedroom space with a separate bathroom using a hip-to-gable rear dormer construction. We built a loft space for the customer with room for a double bed and decent lounging space plus built in wardrobes.
The tiled bathroom has a shower, sink and toilet with a small window. The dormer windows gave a good view of the back of the area.
A nice bright spacey room to sleep and relax.
