Basement / cellar conversions
Cellars are a pretty common feature in Northamptonshire, particularly in Victorian properties in the larger towns – Northampton, Wellingborough, Kettering and Rushden. Originally, they would have been used for storage – a cool space for keeping food, before the invention of domestic refrigeration. Many were used as workshops, especially for those who worked in the Boot & Shoe industry.
Nowadays, many of these cellars are disused, however converting this neglected space can be a surprisingly cost-effective way of increasing the size of your property and increasing its value.

What can I use a cellar conversion for?
Loft conversions, tend to lend themselves to the creation of additional bedroom space. As a basement is already in close proximity to the main living area, it makes sense to see it as an extension of the family living space, such as a playroom or an entertainment / games room. One popular choice is to relocate the utility room ( Washer / dryer / laundry area ) and possibly even the boiler itself, freeing up precious space above ground.
How long does a basement conversion take
Converting a simple existing single room cellar, like those common in Northamptonshire, can take just several weeks, including digging out the sump and fitting the pumping system. However, converting and possibly extending a cellar, including lowering the flooring, can take much longer to complete. Each project will be different and will come with its own set of unique challenges. Liberty design and build have the experience to guide you through the process.
