In Oxford’s historic homes, space is often at a premium. With property values continuing to rise, moving to a larger house isn’t always practical or desirable. A professionally designed loft conversion oxford offers the perfect solution – creating valuable living space while potentially adding up to 20% to your property’s value. At Oxford Loft Conversion, we specialize in transforming unused attic spaces into stunning, functional rooms that feel like they’ve always been part of your home.
Oxford’s unique housing market presents special challenges and opportunities. With limited space for new builds and strict conservation areas, extending upward is often the most practical solution. Our loft conversions are designed specifically for Oxford homes, respecting their architectural heritage while creating modern, functional spaces.
Whether you need an extra bedroom for a growing family, a peaceful home office, or a luxurious master suite, a professionally executed loft conversion can transform your home without sacrificing garden space or changing your home’s external character.
The owners of this Victorian terraced house in Summertown needed extra space for their growing family but loved their location and didn’t want to move. The existing loft had limited headroom and complex roof structures typical of Victorian properties.
The homeowners wanted to create a master bedroom with en-suite bathroom while preserving the character of their period property. They also needed to navigate the planning requirements for their conservation area.
We designed a dormer loft conversion that maximized space while remaining sympathetic to the original architecture. By carefully positioning the dormer at the rear of the property, we created ample headroom while maintaining the street-facing roofline.
Our team installed traditional-style windows that complemented the property’s Victorian character. We also incorporated bespoke storage solutions to maximize every inch of available space.
The completed conversion added a stunning 22m² master bedroom with en-suite bathroom. The space features exposed beams, ample natural light from strategically placed Velux windows, and bespoke built-in storage.
The project was completed in 10 weeks with minimal disruption to the family’s daily life. The conversion added approximately £65,000 to the property’s value – significantly more than the cost of the work.
“Oxford Loft Conversion transformed our cramped attic into a stunning master bedroom that feels like it’s always been part of our home. The team was professional, tidy, and completed the work on schedule. We’re delighted with the result and the value it’s added to our property.”

The most popular choice for Oxford terraced and semi-detached homes. Dormers create additional headroom and floor space with vertical walls and a flat roof.
Ideal for semi-detached and end-of-terrace properties. This conversion extends the sloped side roof to create a vertical gable end, maximizing internal space.
The most cost-effective option that maintains your home’s external appearance. Velux windows are installed in the existing roof slope to bring in natural light.
Named after the 17th-century French architect François Mansart, these conversions feature a double-pitched roof with a steep lower slope (typically 70 degrees) and a flatter upper section. Mansard conversions maximize space and are often suitable for conservation areas.
Every Oxford home is unique. Our experts can assess your property and recommend the most suitable conversion type based on your requirements, budget, and local planning considerations.

In most cases, you can remain living in your home throughout the loft conversion process.
