Here's one we did!We put in a window at the bottom of the stairs and a door at the top! It could be difficult to get a landing in once your'e into the loft, depends on where the stairs have to come up, due to head height etc. However, I do believe that Building Regs require a door and a turn into the loft, so that you can't fall down the stairs if the door's open. Before you go down the route of what you'd like, find out what you can have, that's always my advice. Get in touch with your local Building Control at the Council and they will tell you what you've got to have in order to get it signed off.

You won't need to have it removed to fit safety regulations, if you're short on budget install some spindles, or some white wood planking. Alternatively you could completely cover with boarding. If you're thinking of having a stairs re-design it might help to have a quick scan of this: https://loftconversions.wales/loft-conversion-stairs/ Hope this helps :)

in my experience adding a double (master bedroom with ensuite) in the loft will outstrip any financial loss on reducing an already small single room, but as advised, check with your local agents and research other houses in your area. estate agents will advertise the room as a 4th bedroom if a single bed can be put in and has a window, i think the minimum sq meter recommendation is 4.64 mtr sq. in many 1930 properties this is a popular solution, also ive seen the bathroom converted into two, the rear of the bathroom serving the rear bedroom as an ensuite and a shower room acessed from the landing, helps if you have a combination boiler as the traditional airing cupboard can be removed.

Thank you Isla, please let us know if you require any further information or advice on this topic. Best, Camilla ADOVA
