Rear Dormer Loft Conversion, Kinveachy Gardens, Charlton, South East London

Brief: Rear dormer loft conversion to a mid-terrace house, not in a conservation area, creating two new bedrooms.

Simply Loft was delighted to create two new bedrooms for this family in Kinveachy Gardens, South-East London. Our surveyors determined the popular rear dormer loft conversion was the ideal option for this property to create the maximum amount of space available.

The first bedroom is complimented with a skylight fitted into the eaves of the loft. The bed has been placed in the corner of the room, underneath the skylight. Placing a skylight above a bed is a great way of improving wellbeing and sleeping patterns as exposure to natural light and fresh air increases our serotonin, creating a fresh, welcoming space.

Our client has created the perfect bedroom space for a teenage child. Opting for a green feature wall, the teenager can make the space their own with a personal touch of colour. A drum set has also been placed in the corner of the room, alongside a desk, creating a space for the person to enjoy their hobbies while also being able to focus on work if required.

Loft conversions can be a great option for a teenage or older child space as it provides them with an independent area away from the rest of the house. This is a great option for children going into their teenage years or for families with children returning home after university.

The bedroom also includes a Juliet balcony for an outdoor connection. This provides the room with a stunning rooftop view that increases natural light and ventilation to the room. Juliet balconies are ideal for those that love to open up a space and aren’t dependent on weather conditions, making them ideal for the warmer summer months and also the cooler months.

The bedroom has a unique, in-built wardrobe. This storage option utilises the space to its full potential, requiring no extra room for an important storage space.  

The second bedroom is a smaller space that includes a skylight. This could be used as a smaller bedroom, an office space, a hobby room, or a storage space. Including two additional rooms increases the value of the property greatly and having a space for an office or hobby room allows the owners to decide what they would like to do with the space, adding a bespoke personal room.
