Converting a large semi-detached house into three flats, providing a much better return for the client. Sounds simple enough. However, the existing layout was a real challenge. A three-storey ‘house’ sat above a small basement flat with an entrance that was confusing for visitors to find. Plus, there were significant cracks in the walls and ceilings and we needed to find a way to turn the cramped and uncomfortable rooms into spaces where people would actually want to live.
Converting a property into multiple flats requires insightful design and an innovative approach to maximise space. But, when done well, this kind of conversion can boost your rental income while also making for happy tenants. So, what was our approach? Our suggestion was building a side and rear double-storey extension. This filled the space underneath the main entrance and meant that all three apartments would now share the same door onto the main street, meaning no more lost Amazon deliveries.
We made the basement flat almost 20 sqm larger, with two en-suite bedrooms and a large kitchen diner leading out to a walled garden. The ground floor became a slightly smaller one-bedroom apartment with a study and generous living-dining area. The first and second floors now make up a larger duplex with two en-suite bedrooms on the first floor and a spacious and airy top-floor living and dining area. Overall, we added 60 sqm to the main building and created a housing offering that boosted the client’s rental income and provided stylish, welcoming homes for the new residents.
