Hi,
We are currently deciding what to do with out house. It's currently a 4 bedroom chalet bungalow with 1 bathroom which is downstairs (all 4 bedrooms upstairs). We are concious that as a 4 bedroom people expect 2 bathrooms and are also put off by downstairs bathrooms. So we have a few options, which are;
a) leave as it is
b) put in a shower room upstairs and retain 4 bedrooms, although 2 bedrooms will be pretty small
c) make it a 3 bedroom - with 3 good size bedrooms - and a bathroom
We're planning on keeping a bathroom downstairs, and for a downstairs bathroom it's it a good location, being at the bottom of the stairs and not close to the kitchen etc.
So what do you think? would people prefer 4 smaller rooms or 3 bigger rooms? or 4 bigger rooms but only 1 bathroom?
We've talked to 4 estate agents whose views ranged from don't do it to you'd be mad not too.
Should also add that we are planning on being here for 5-10 years, but as we are doing the whole house up now if we are going to add it it really needs to be done now.
Thanks in advance,,
