Hip Roof Bungalow Extension

More likely to be approved in conservation areas.

Hip roof bungalow extension. The hipped or sloping side roof is removed and the end wall is then built up straight to form a new vertical gable. If your property is detached or semi detached and has a hip end roof then this sort of loft conversion is certainly a viable option for you. This is then able to vault up to the pitched roof. This is why the ideal of extending a bungalow always looks so so appealing to homeowners.

I added two bedrooms and a new bathroom extension to the existing bungalow in brick build with a flat roof. The double pitched roof and the expanses of glass turn this bungalow into something totally unique with so much wow factor a world away from the dated 1970s bungalows that we all think of. Plenty of room for storage if you use your eaves creatively. Hip to gable loft conversions are most commonly found on the side of either end terrace or semi detached houses.

Roof light loft conversion. This rear bungalow extension by tw10 architects is a brilliant example of how a bungalow can be given an impressive modern look. Generally the options for converting the loft in a bungalow are the same as in a two storey home adding a loft room a dormer loft conversion a hip to gable loft conversion or a mansard roof conversion. The attraction of this type of loft extension to bungalow owners is obvious thanks to the additional living space generated.

Feb 27 2018 the pitched hip roof extension is probably the most typical type of extension to a property where the space incorporates a side return or side access and across the rear. This radical remodel and extension project has transformed a dated bungalow. They are also suitable for many bungalows and chalets too. Up to 25 cheaper than other types of conversion.

The project features a twin gabled roof design to help create the space needed for the new storey creating great architectural wow factor when combined with full height glazing white render timber cladding and slate effect cast concrete tiles. However if it is a low level structure all extensions must be sympathetic to original building. The roof structure is altered at the sides or rear of the house to add a large flat roofed box dormer. How much a bungalow loft conversion costs depends on the scale of the job and also the style of conversion you are looking to add.

I am looking to extend upwards on top of both the old bungalow and the extension flat roof. A bungalow is a great option when looking to add extra space and also increase the resale value of a property. I can add the photos to show you if you re interested. The shape is looked at favourably by the council due to its potential to have a reduced side wall height.
