Goole, East Yorkshire Loft Conversion

About this loft conversion project:

For the owners of this four-bedroom detached home in Goole, creating more space wasn’t simply about adding another room.

They wanted to completely rethink how their existing house worked for their family.

The original plan was to create a new playroom on the ground floor without losing the home gym they already enjoyed. After discussing several options with the homeowners, we developed a wider plan that would allow different areas of the house to take on new uses.

Part of that solution was to look upwards.

By converting the loft, we could move the main bedroom into the roof and create a substantial master suite with a luxury en-suite bathroom, freeing up one of the existing bedrooms for use as a home gym.

There was one important requirement from the homeowners from the start:

The new bedroom had to comfortably accommodate their super-king bed.

Challenge accepted.

What was required?

The loft needed to provide enough space to become the principal bedroom rather than simply an occasional spare room.

The homeowners wanted a generous bedroom with plenty of natural light and a bathroom that felt suitably luxurious for a master suite.

Their wish list included:

• A spacious master bedroom
• Enough room for a super-king bed
• Private en-suite bathroom
• Freestanding bath
• Separate wet-room shower
• Four Velux roof windows
• Permanent staircase access
• Practical storage
• A layout that allowed the rooms below to be repurposed

There was also a practical obstacle sitting exactly where part of the new staircase needed to go.

The property’s boiler was located inside the existing airing cupboard.

Rather than compromising the staircase position or taking unnecessary space elsewhere, we incorporated moving the boiler into the loft as part of the conversion.

Our approach:

This project was designed from the perspective of the whole house rather than treating the loft conversion in isolation.

Every change upstairs helped unlock another opportunity elsewhere.

The project included:

• Large Master Bedroom: The roof space was transformed into a generous principal bedroom with sufficient room for the homeowners’ super-king bed while retaining comfortable space around it.
• Luxury En-Suite: A substantial private bathroom was created alongside the bedroom, giving the new upper floor the feel of a genuine master suite.
• Freestanding Bath: The en-suite was designed around a statement freestanding bath rather than treating it as something to squeeze into the remaining space.
• Wet-Room Shower: A separate wet-room area gives the homeowners the choice of a walk-in shower or bath within their own private bathroom.
• Four Velux Windows: Four Velux roof windows bring natural daylight into the new floor and help emphasise the scale of the converted roof space.
• Boiler Relocation: The existing boiler was moved from the airing cupboard into a dedicated cupboard within the loft.
• Space Released for the Staircase: Relocating the boiler freed the area needed to introduce the new loft stairs without unnecessarily compromising another part of the house.
• New Staircase: Permanent access was incorporated into the existing layout, connecting the new master floor with the rest of the property.
• Plumbing & Heating Alterations: Services were reorganised to accommodate the relocated boiler and supply the new en-suite, bath and wet-room shower.
• Fully Coordinated Build: Extra Space Developments managed the different trades throughout the project, giving the homeowners one team to deal with rather than having to coordinate the renovation themselves.

More Than Just Another Bedroom

The real benefit of this Goole loft conversion can be seen throughout the house.

Moving the master bedroom into the roof released one of the original bedrooms for another purpose. That helped the homeowners retain their home gym while making other changes to create the ground-floor playroom they wanted.

Upstairs, they gained something considerably different from the bedroom they gave up.

The new master suite provides a spacious sleeping area designed around their super-king bed, while four Velux windows fill the room with daylight.

The en-suite became a feature in its own right, combining a freestanding bath with a separate wet-room shower to create a bathroom that feels more like a private retreat than a conventional en-suite.

Even relocating the boiler had benefits beyond simply making room for the staircase. Moving it into a purpose-designed loft cupboard allowed the existing airing-cupboard area to contribute to the new layout while keeping the boiler neatly contained within the upper floor.

The result is a conversion that didn’t just add square footage.

It allowed the family to use their entire home differently.

What the Client Said:

“We enquired with Shane regarding how to create more space within our home to enable us to build a playroom on the ground floor without losing space within the house for our home gym.

“Shane talked us through multiple ideas which would gain us the room we wanted and increase our home value in the process. We decided on bricking our garage up and converting it into the playroom, swapping a bedroom to a gym and creating a loft conversion with a bedroom/en-suite.

“Shane, Adrian and Sam efficiently turned our loft into a master suite which was large enough for us to fit a (non-negotiable) super-king bed and have created us a beautiful en-suite.

“We were guided through each step of the way and they always provided honest opinions and made suggestions which we hadn’t considered, which we were very grateful for.

“Shane went above and beyond for us, for which we are extremely thankful – it’s very obvious to us that the business is not only a job but a passion.

“The ease of having a company organise all the tradesmen took the stress out of the renovations and our home was treated with respect and tidied up each night, which made such a huge difference to the experience.

“Thank you all at Extra Space Developments!”

Looking for More Space in Your Goole Home?

Sometimes creating more space isn’t about adding the maximum number of rooms.

It’s about making the rooms you already have work harder.

For this family, moving the master bedroom into the loft created a chain reaction through the rest of the property – providing a luxury bedroom and bathroom upstairs while allowing existing rooms to become a gym and playroom.

If you own a detached property in Goole or the surrounding area, your roof could potentially offer the same opportunity to rethink how your home is arranged.

Extra Space Developments can assess the roof structure, staircase options and existing services before developing a layout around what you actually want to achieve.
