Loft conversion: roof pitch runs perpendicular to front door

Faye Jones
3 years ago

Hi all, my partner and I are looking at a house that we might want to add a loft room to in time. However, the roof pitch (?) runs the length of the house, rather than the width of it, the latter of which seems to be more common in Bristol for older homes.


Does anyone know if a loft conversion w/ windows would be possible? (see photo - red lines show where windows would go, in contrast to houses across the street where the roof slope is opposite)


If so, would windows have to be obscure (as they would look onto neighbouring rooftops, rather than towards the back or front of the property? Is it possible to add a normal window to the 'upside v shape/gable' at the back of the property?


Hope that makes sense!


TIA x
