It is important to avoid spending a considerable sum converting an attic but losing the handy box room office to attic stairs
Hi Kieran, My partner and I live in a newly built mid-terraced house in Glanmire and are expecting a baby so we are looking to ensure we have enough room for everything as I have heard a new baby needs a lot of space: obviously, a bedroom but also additional storage, changing areas, play areas etc. At the moment we both work from home so are considering a home office in the attic. Is this possible in a house like ours and what do we need to watch out for?
