The homeowners wanted an additional bedroom that felt calm, spacious and properly connected to the rest of their Abington home not simply a converted attic.
Swiss Build planned the structural work, staircase, services and bespoke storage as one coordinated build. The finished room uses natural light, carefully positioned joinery and a Juliet balcony to create an open, practical living space.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions about terraced house loft
conversions
Can a terraced house in Abington be converted?
Many terraced homes can be suitable for a loft conversion, but the available head height, roof structure, staircase position, access and planning constraints all need to be checked. A site survey is the best starting point.
Was planning permission required for this project?
Add the verified planning route for this exact project here. If it used permitted development, explain the relevant
constraints clearly; if permission was granted, link to the public application where appropriate.
How did Swiss Build manage access and disruption?
The work was sequenced around the limited access of the terraced property, with materials, trades and internal connections planned to reduce disruption to the household.
Can fitted storage be included in a loft conversion?
Yes. Bespoke cupboards can make good use of lower areas beneath roof slopes that would otherwise be difficult to use, as shown in this Abington project.
