This loft conversion in Walthamstow was completed on a first-floor Warner self-contained flat, carefully designed to maximise space, light and functionality within the existing footprint.
Accessed via a newly formed staircase that integrates seamlessly with the original layout, the new loft level provides a bright and well-proportioned double bedroom along with a stylish shower room. The staircase has been finished with soft neutral carpeting and traditional balustrades, maintaining the character of the Warner property while introducing a clean, contemporary feel.
The main bedroom benefits from a rear dormer extension, creating excellent head height and usable floor space. Large double-glazed windows draw in plenty of natural light and offer elevated views across the surrounding rooftops. The neutral colour palette enhances the sense of space, while the thoughtful layout allows room for a bed, desk area and additional storage without feeling cramped.
To the front slope, rooflights have been installed to further increase daylight and ventilation, making the loft feel bright and airy throughout the day.
The new shower room has been finished in a classic, timeless style, with white metro tiling, chrome fittings and a walk-in shower enclosure. A rooflight above brings in natural light, creating a fresh and inviting space while maintaining privacy.
Externally, the dormer has been constructed to complement the existing roofline and neighbouring properties, ensuring the conversion sits comfortably within the Warner terrace.
Overall, this project demonstrates how a first-floor Warner flat can be successfully extended into the loft to create valuable additional living space, improving both practicality and property value while respecting the character of the original home.
