Many types of loft are suitable for a loft conversion. In general, you will need at least 2.3 metres of headroom in your existing loft. This is to make sure there is enough headroom after the conversion. Speak to a conversion specialist about the probability and possibility of doing this in your house.
Abercraf
Abercraf is a village in Brecknockshire in the county of Powys, Wales and has a population of 696. It is located to the south of the county in the Upper Swansea Valley, 2.5 miles north-east of Ystradgynlais. It sits just outside of the boundaries of the Brecon Beacons National Park and the Fforest Fawr Geopark.
Abercraf has a history in coal and iron. Thomas Harper, the local coalowner, established a small ironworks in 1824. The British Iron Company acquired the works in 1825 for £19,541 and leased minerals on the nearby mountain, Cribarth. It was unsuccessful and it ceased production in 1826 when they found that costs were exceeding the retail price.
The village has a number of amenities, including pubs, a rugby union club, a primary school and a fire station. It is also home to a Miners' Welfare Hall, keeping the tradition of its coal mining past.
Abercraf lies among the slopes of the miniature mountain Cribarth, which is famous for its 'Sleeping Giant' outline. The Giant is formed from a combination of the natural topography of the mountain and disused limestone quarries.
