Maximising Your Tweed Homes Property
Attic Conversion of the Yarrow & Ettrick House Types

Meldon First Floor Plan

The Yarrow and Ettrick properties are constructed with attic trusses to give the householder the opportunity to create a further floor of cost effective accommodation to suit their future lifestyle demands.

Tweed Homes will also frame out a staircase opening in the roof structure to enable the householder to organise a relatively seamless attic conversion.

These carefully designed features provide an opportunity for the homeowner to improve and extend their property in a cost effective manner without having to make a further house move.

The void left by fitting attic trusses in the roof space of the Yarrow house style is cavernous and it provides an enormous amount of additional floor space (484 square feet) which represents an extra 53% of the ground floor of the Yarrow.  The attic space within the Ettrick and Yarrow properties can be altered to create the upper floor layout of the Meldon or Buckholm house styles.

Planning Permission and a building warrant are an essential requirement of any alteration and Tweed Homes will provide a set of working drawings for either the Buckholm or Meldon property to assist applications to the Planning and Building Control Departments at Scottish Borders Council.  These drawings will be forwarded to your solicitor upon conclusion of missives and will provide a significant saving when you hire your architect.
