Lambeth council planning department have announced they are allowing L-shaped mansard loft conversions across the London borough. Robert Wood, Managing Director at Simply Loft explains “as a popular residential area in London, Lambeth is home to many families and young professionals and with an incredibly short commute to central London, properties and space in Lambeth is premium, which is why many homeowners in Lambeth wish to improve their homes rather than moving. This announcement allowing L-shaped mansard loft conversions is a huge win for homeowners in Lambeth looking to expand their property.”
What is an L-shaped Mansard Loft Conversion?
An L-shaped mansard loft conversion is a conversion created in the shape of an L, by constructing two mansard shaped roofs that come together at a joint. One mansard loft conversion is build on the main roof of a property, while the other is built on the rear outrigger roof. This unique configuration is what results in the recognisable L-shape.
Due to its shape, these conversions are usually only suitable for period properties, where there is a back addition at the rear to typically house the kitchen and bathroom.
L-shaped Mansards Offer Excellent Additional Space and Head Height
While there are many types of loft conversions to consider, an L-shaped mansard loft conversion offers excellent headroom and a flexible layout, allowing for multiple rooms or a more open-plan space depending on the homeowners’ requirements. Homeowners can improve their property with two new bedrooms and a bathroom with an L-shaped mansard loft conversion, making it perfect for growing families or those that require more space at home.
While it’s no surprise a loft conversion impressively increases square footage, it also significantly increases property value. As mansard lofts provide the largest results in terms of additional living space, an L-shaped mansard provides even more space, making it the perfect unique selling point to your property should you wish to sell in the future.
The L-shaped mansard loft conversion will require planning permission in the borough of Lambeth, therefore it is advised to seek the help of a reputable architect or loft conversion specialist such as Simply Loft.
