Gable Conversion Amersham

Hip To Gable Conversion

Hip to Gable conversions are popular among Amersham 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 Amersham

Dormer Conversion

Dormer loft conversions are the most common type requested by Amersham 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.

Velux Conversion Amersham

Velux Conversion

A Velux, or roof light loft conversion in Amersham is the most simple and economical type available. With a Velux, the roof remains unchanged, other than the installation of attractive flush Velux windows to give plenty of natural light. Typically, a Velux 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.

Amersham is a beautiful quaint market town with a population of around 15,000. It lies within the stunning Chiltern Hills district of Buckinghamshire.

There are two distinct areas to the town, Old Amersham, which is set in the River Misbourne valley and is home to the 13th century church of St. Mary’s along with some splendid old pubs and coaching inns. In the old part of town, you will also find some delightful and unusual shops.

Then there is the more modern Amersham-on-the-Hill, which quickly expanded around the railway station during the early 20th century.

Ideal for Commuters

Part of the London commuter belt, Amersham is 15 miles from Aylesbury, 13 miles from High Wycombe, and around 26 miles from central London, a journey that takes 40 minutes by train.

With it being within easy reach of London, the town is a much-desired location for those who want the benefits of working in the capital while at the same time enjoying a much slower pace of life with beautiful rural surroundings during their time off.

Housing

When you first visit Amersham, the number of fine old buildings that date back centuries and are still in use will likely impress you. You will immediately feel this is a town of historical importance. Amersham has numerous old-fashioned gabled timber cottages and traditional inns and pubs with doors that open directly onto the high street.

At the heart of Amersham is Market Hall, which was built in 1682 and is supported by arches above what used to be an old twin lock-up, traditionally used in rural parts to house drunks for the night.

Apart from the fabulous traditional housing, Amersham boasts many splendid detached properties, which sell for the average price of £1,062,215. Amersham has an overall average selling price of £701,323, which means moving can be an expensive business if you find yourself in the position where you need more living space.

Property prices in the town are 17% up on last year and a whopping 32% up on 2015. If you currently own a three bedroom Amersham property and need an extra room, the home you move to is likely to be quite a lot more expensive that what you can sell your current property for. Therefore, unless you are willing to move to a less desirable location, an Amersham loft conversion to gain more space is a no brainer.
