With an uncertain economy and a Leicester housing market in which prices are rising faster than in any other major UK city, many people are putting loft conversion plans into action. Rather than having to push yourself out of your financial comfort zone to buy a new house with an extra bathroom, bedroom, playroom or whatever it is you want, try using the unused room in your current place to better effect. The process of bringing your loft conversion plans to reality is relatively straightforward and great value for money, as you can see from our handy loft conversion guide.
But what sort of room should you create up in the attic? Here are some fantastic loft conversion Leicester ideas that really make the most of your home.
When you move into a house, you can only do so much with the shell you inherit. However, a loft conversion gives you the opportunity to build your master bedroom from scratch. The place where you relax and recharge your batteries is so important, you deserve to have it created to your exacting standards. It could be the interior design that is important to you, or perhaps you simply want that extra elevation to make the most of your view of the rolling Leicestershire countryside. Lifting the master bedroom up a storey can mean you are greeted every morning with a calming and inspiring view to really get you going for the day. Perhaps you’ve always dreamed of having a walk-in wardrobe, wall-sized projector screen, ensuite bathroom or maybe all three!
The bathroom is another great place to relax, soaking in bubbles as you wash away the stresses of the day. The trouble with some houses is that they have tried so hard to maximise the size of the bedrooms, that the bathroom is cramped and claustrophobic. With a sprawling, luxurious bathroom as part of your loft conversion plans, you can put that right. You could choose the most stunning free-standing bath you can find to become the centrepiece of the new bathroom, or perhaps add in a jacuzzi or large, powerful shower cubicle. Then you can sprinkle with extras like his ‘n’ hers sinks, heated towel rails and the like.
Sick of travelling into work and getting stuck in traffic? Had enough of being squeezed into a train commuting around the county? Flexible working is becoming more popular with employers and employees, meaning it may be possible to work from home. Of course, trying to complete your daily tasks on the kitchen table with the kids, dog and postman bothering you every few minutes might not help your productivity, but having your own bespoke home office in the loft conversion could be the answer. A quiet haven away from the chaos with a door to shut out distractions is an excellent way of diving into the world of working from home. And the best thing is that your commute goes from a45-minute battle to a ten second skip up the stairs to your oasis of calm. This is an increasingly popular loft conversion plan.
As the population lives longer, caring for the elderly is an ever more important topic of conversation. You may have a mum or dad who don’t want to run their own household any more, but still want a level of independence. A granny flat is a perfect solution. The relative is close by and can benefit from being with the rest of the family, but they also get to have their own space away from the hubbub of day to day life if they wish for some quiet time. It is a more cost-effective course of action than looking at serviced accommodation and there’s always someone there to babysit if you and the other half fancy a night out. If your relative is not as mobile as they used to be, an alternative is to move your master bedroom up into the loft, leaving a room at a lower level for them to live in.
Do toys clutter up your front room? Are there arguments over control of the remote control? Has your Leicester City memorabilia collection taken over the house? An entertainment room is a really effective use for a loft conversion in Leicester. It could be a place to send the kids to make all the noise they want away from the telly. Alternatively, it might become a kind of home cinema. A place to relax on bean bags with the family and munch popcorn whilst you watch films. An entertainment room has so much potential. It could house your hobbies or your collections and free up space in the rest of the house.

We can’t recommend James enough. We had an internal wall knocked down to make our downstairs more open plan and we’re thrilled with the outcome. Friendly and hard working, him and the lads completed the work to a high standard and finished when they said they would. We won’t hesitate to ask James back for future plans.

Always dreamed of having a home gym when I get my house and James and the guys made it a reality. Bought the house back in Dec 2018 and had a detached garage that I felt was perfect to convert into a home gym. Saved up for a year, got in touch with James after checking out his website, social media and his reviews. The garage needed a new roof, new door, new floor and so much more! Can not recommend James and the guys enough. I have a few other projects I’d like to do to the house and will be using James for these projects!

James and the team did a fantastic job of converting the garage into a bathroom and a small bedroom, rebuilding the porch and giving it a new layout by moving the front door and windows and replacing the flat roof. They worked to a very high standard, turned up on time and were very pleasant and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they did some additional work for me landscaping the front of the house and some extras I hadn’t got around to like painting the inside of the airing cupboard. Every job was done carefully and completely finished off to my satisfaction and so I would recommend them.

I used Beeby Construction services to convert the loft in my Victorian terraced property. From start to finish James and his team were knowledgeable, helpful and professional guiding me through the building regulations process and offering ideas and solutions. Nothing was too much trouble and the end result is above and beyond what I expected, I am delighted. I can thoroughly recommend James and his team, they were always on site when agreed and worked swiftly with very minimal disturbance and inconvenience to myself.
