This is the floor below, just to show how much of the front bedroom will be used to create the new staircase. The bathroom is in the top right corner of the photo

Loft Conversions - interesting ideas?
Comments (3)It entirely depends on your roof height, most modern houses do not have the height for a loft conversion. Therefore you have to start there as there are building regs which dictate minimum height requirements. Thus before you go down the route of ideas, find out how high the pitch is, if you need to raise the roof, you're into big bucks!. Then you need to look at the layout of the floor beneath and decide where stairs can go, clearly you need to get into the roof space at the highest point, usually a gable end. If it's possible to gain access with a staircase, this will then dictate the layout in the loft. Thus, you need to post a lot of plans and measurements before anybody can really help you x...See MoreLoft conversion and Extension layout quandary
Comments (3)Personally I would have the master bedroom in this space on the 1st floor- after all the footprint is bigger and the ceiling height is likely better. There is enough room in the loft for two kids bedrooms- when they start paying the mortgage they can argue for the best bedroom space but right now you should have it....See MoreLoft Conversion - Layout advise required

Comments (1)Hi! This is a long a complex post! It's hard to know exactly what your question is. If you are looking for help with the layout design then this is something that I can help you with. For the technical questions relating to structural design then yes, as you say, these are best answered by a structural engineer. Getting the layout right for you first and then speaking to the engineer is usually the process that I would go through. I always start off with looking at what it is you want to achieve from the additional space you create. I would also look at upgrading the thermal performance of the roof since you will need to recover the roof anyway. You will need to add in insulation anyway but there are ways of doing it that is much more effective and there are some serious errors that are commonly made that you need to avoid - like cutting holes in the insulation to install inset downlights. You can have a look at how I work and get a copy of my free Design Your Home Vision checklist on my website here: www.i-architect.co.uk best wishes with you project, Jane...See More

There are no stairs up to the attic, that is where we propose to put the stairs, taking up approx 1m of the front bedroom to create a corridor with winder stairs up to the attic
The area in red is currently the bedroom and the dashed line is where the corridor will be. The stairs next to the red area area the existing stairs from ground floor to 1st floor

They will be like this, so will protrude from the fable end wall less than a metre and be 2637mm wide

I don’t know how much room you will gain with a rear dormer but currently I would say this is not the big space you are envisaging

Like Jonathan already stated, this isn't going to be the spacious luxurious master suite you have in mind. If the majority of the stairs is on the floor below, you could have this layout, for example. The pale grey is the area where you can't stand up straight. Again, really really make sure the joistst can handle all this weight! Otherwise just turn this into a kid's loft and make a nice spacious family bath on the bedroom floor. With a separate toilet of course. ;)
