Potential for extending the property
Loft conversion details:
There is planning permission from some time ago for a loft conversion to provide more bedrooms and a bathroom. The roof had been raised when the original house was extended leaving ample area for creating more living space. This new area is approximately 40 sq. Metres. The existing house is 195 sq. Metres, so the conversion would increase floor space by around 20%, giving a total of 6 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. The loft conversion could also be for a hobby room, gym/ games room. The substantial south-facing roof area is very suitable for the installation of solar panel electricity generation.
Work completed:
• Floor joists – well-made and substantial.
• Stud wall frames – sturdy and well made.
• 13 amp electrical point. Easy installation for more 13 amp points prior to completion of the stud walls with plaster board.
• Electrical contact breaker x2. One for the loft area and one for the circulation pump, fountain and lights of the fishpond
• Temporary chipboard floor
• Central heating pipes in place for 3 radiators
• Bathroom water pipes in place
• Provision for toilet connection and ventilation
• 3 Velux windows flush with roof facing south which could be converted to dormer windows STPP
Potential:
Amended, updated planning permission could be for a staircase leading from the hall/utility room from the North side of the house, and greater loft conversion window area. Access areas would need to be fireproofed to existing regulations.
All plans available including the original permission and a more recent design study to make best use of the space with 2 options for bedroom/bathroom layout.
There is also potential for opening up even more roof area for living space on the North, East and West sides STPP.<br /><br />
