Loft Conversions in Brixton

Brixton is a very vibrant and diverse area of London situated within the London Borough of Lambeth. Brixton is considered to be the more affordable alternative to other Southwest London spots including Clapham, Balham and Stockwell. Brixton has a very desirable stock of period housing, in particular Victorian terraced houses alongside post war flats and houses. Brixton can be considered an area that has gone through significant regeneration or to some, gentrification, with a swath of wealthy middle-class professionals and families looking to take advantage of its desirable location and bohemian art scene. Brixton hosts regular farmers market on Station Road, as well as lots of pop-up restaurants and shops. Brixton market is a popular spot for shopping and eating with lots of independent boutiques, cafes and restaurants.

Brixton is a great place to live, not only offering vibrant entertainment facilities, great transport links and amenities but the area has access to some lovely green spaces including Brockwell Park with its lido, which is open all year round. Off the main thoroughfare of Brixton Hill are lots of residential streets with rows of Victorian Terraced houses where we have completed Loft conversions for clients, streets including Lambert Road, Trelawn Road, Salford Road, Barnwell Road, and Kay Road to name but a few. A loft conversion is a great way to add value to your property in Brixton and to increase space. We have carried out Dormer Loft conversions and Mansard loft conversions in Brixton particularly on the Victorian Terraced properties throughout the area. Brixton is a lively, multi-cultural area with a chilled-out vibe and has access to some of the best schools and nurseries in London due to its location neighbouring Clapham, Balham and Herne Hill. A loft conversion is also a great way to convert a flat to a maisonette and reconfigure the layout of flat and add a bedroom. The added bonus to a loft conversion in Brixton is the value added to the property, which Zoopla has shown to be as much as 25% to the value. Brixton is such a popular place for us to carry out loft conversions that we have an office located on Electric Lane where we can serve all our South London customers.

Case Studies

Dormer Loft Conversion in Brixton

On a tree lined residential street in the heart of Brixton, we carried out a dormer loft conversion on a Victorian Terraced house. This property was a two-bed terraced house, where we renovated the first floor and added the dormer loft conversion to the rear increasing the number of bedrooms to three and adding an extra bathroom. We ensured that the front of the property remained in keeping aesthetically with the surrounding properties and added the dormer to the rear. This gave a bedroom with a slope and velux windows to the front and a window to the rear and a bathroom. In the bathroom our client wanted to include a sauna, which meant that would couldn’t add any windows (at the rear) to the room. In order to bring light into the bathroom we added a large sky light over the shower which floods the room with plenty of natural light. The loft conversion is now the master bedroom for our client with plenty of storage space in the eves and a lovely relaxing bathroom with a sauna. The landing space also needed natural light, which we achieved through a velux window in the roof slope over the stairwell. Overall we created a beautiful, relaxing space for our clients.

Rear Dormer Loft Conversions in Brixton

We converted the lofts of two houses on the same street in Brixton. This is something we do a lot, where we either convert two houses that are side by side whereby clients are trying to achieve economies of scale or we carry out most of the loft conversions on the same street as we get recommended from neighbour to neighbour. In this particular case both houses were identical in their layout but were 10 houses apart. We added a rear dormer loft conversion to both houses. For both, we applied for and received a certificate of lawful development under permitted development. For all our projects that fall under permitted development we always apply for a certificate of lawful development. This is to ensure clarity and compliance for our clients.

Both properties are three-bedroom Victorian terraced houses that are a typical housing stock in Brixton. We added a rear dormer loft conversion to both houses. On the first house, we added a rear dormer which featured a large set of French doors and a Juliette balcony to the rear and Velux windows to the front. This Brixton loft conversion gave our clients two extra bedrooms and an additional bathroom to the property. The first-floor layout remained the same with three bedrooms and a separate bathroom and WC.

The second property again had a rear dormer addition but had three windows across the rear rather than French doors and a Juliette balcony. Our clients here had decided to convert their loft into a master suite with large ensuite bathroom. This gave the family a very large room on the top floor with windows to the rear and Velux windows to the front which drew in large amounts of light to the top floor.

Both of these loft conversions were the same size and carried out on houses that are identical in layout, but two very different loft conversions were achieved meeting both clients individual briefs on what they wanted to utilise the additional space for.
