Specialist loft conversion company in Marlow, Touchstone Lofts
Hip To Gable Conversion
Hip to Gable conversions are popular among Marlow homeowners with semi-detached or detached properties, end of terraces, and bungalows. The existing sloping roof is turned into a flat gable to increase available space. Depending on various factors, a hip to gable extension may or may not require planning permission. We can help you with this and apply on your behalf.
Dormer Conversion
Dormer loft conversions are the most common type requested by Marlow residents. With a dormer conversion we extend the existing roof vertically to create extra floor space and headroom. To achieve this, it is important that at least half of the current floor space has a ceiling height of at least two metres or higher. Dormers usually do not require planning permission.
Rooflight Loft Conversion
A rooflight loft conversion in Marlow is the most simple and economical type available. With a rooflight loft conversion, the roof remains unchanged, other than the installation of attractive flush windows to give plenty of natural light. Typically, a Rooflight attic conversion does not need planning permission as the roof structure remains unchanged. This is the perfect solution if you want minimal outlay and disruption.
Marlow, previously known as Great Marlow or Chipping Marlow, is an attractive town in the Wycombe district in south Buckinghamshire, situated on the edge of the Chiltern Hills, an area of outstanding natural beauty. Marlow is located on the banks of the Thames, 4 miles south-southwest of High Wycombe and 33 miles west of central London. The Marlow Bridge is the only suspension bridge that remains across the River Thames.
Marlow is famous for its rowing club, which was founded in 1871. The club has created many Olympic-level oarsmen including Sir Steve Redgrave. Situated by Marlow Bridge, it has a picturesque location, and hosts many rowing and related events throughout the year for rowers of all skill levels. Records show Marlow has held an annual regatta since 1855. There is also a large gym and a café bar at the rowing club open to the public.
Close to the capital
Marlow is popular with commuters, as central London is just over an hour away by train or car. It is a perfect location for those who want to work in the capital without the sky-high housing costs, or the permanent hustle and bustle of the city.
The current average price for a property in Marlow is £709,124, a rise of 41.75% or £208,850 compared to five years ago. Therefore, many Marlow homeowners who find themselves needing more room are opting to extend their current living space rather than moving to a larger property, to avoid the expense and hassle involved with a move.
