French doors

Loft conversions are seldom about compromise and often provide your best room - especially when it comes to doors and windows.

In a home that had relatively small windows on its lower floors, this large dormer conversion has given an opportunity to install large French doors affording a panorama of the surrounding landscape.

This can give an amazing sense of liberation, especially here where there is a small balcony - though in some locations there is even space for a genuine roof garden with al-fresco dining.
