Hi All, just after a bit of advice, i had a 2 bedroom house, we needed a 3rd bedroom so we got an extension with the 3rd bedroom and a downstairs seperate dining room, the 3rd bedroom is used but the seperate dining room is not as I redesigned the kitchen to include a dining table, so im considering selling the property and want advice on how best to promote the downstairs room for maximum exposure, now my options are;
1 put the dining table back in and promote the seperate dining room
2 set it up as a downstairs bedroom and promote is as a 4 bedroom
3 clear it out and put on a garage door and promote small garage/storage
any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks

Put the table back, or turn it into a telly/games room?
Don't turn it into another bedroom as the council tax will go up. Leave it to the next owners to convert it into one if they want to?I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Old style MoneySaving boards.

Family Room is always a good description if you don't know what to call it
Don't Panic - and carry a towel

I just had a thought (!:rotfl:)
Don't they say that the woman has the final word in a house sale, so maybe you should aim for something a woman would like?I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Old style MoneySaving boards.

I think so - most people convert attached garages into extra living space and not the other way around... And small garage will put people off if they don't have a small car....
I assume that there IS parking in your area? Drive way? Street parking?
I vote family room too, but - as someone else said - worth saying that it could be used as a 4th bedroom.

think it is a bit extreme to sell it coz you don't use the dining room:D0
