living space than storage, converting it is the
obvious thing to do.

This often means building a dormer across almost
the whole width of the roof and changing the line
of the roof so its straight viewed from the
front or back instead of sloping.

main space should be at least 2.3 metres high -
the steeper the pitch of the roof, the better it
will be for conversion.

on the floor below and if this means losing a

and this is usually because the room doesnt
comply with building regulations.
