Mansard Conversions in Nazeing

A Green Belt village in the Lea Valley, a short drive from Harlow. Nazeing is a Lea Valley village with a mix of detached houses, bungalows and older cottages, historically surrounded by nurseries and glasshouses.

In a village setting a mansard is designed carefully so that the new roof shape suits the surrounding buildings. Older village properties vary a great deal in their roof structure and age, so a careful survey matters more than any rule of thumb, and it is worth checking early whether any local restrictions apply. We offer a free survey and a clear written quote from the start.
