    Is that enough bathrooms - we are planning to have 3 for our 5 beds and a downstairs shower room to make an 'annexe' if needed.
    About what I would expect (on minimal info) but I think ours would add at least 80k rather than 45k for the following reasons:

    On my street detached 3 beds go for about 500k and 4 beds 600k

    The rooms added would be the largest rooms (rather than mid sized or small rooms)

    It would also be adding a second (ensuite) bathroom

    There would not be much impact on the garden as it's about 120' x 35'

    The reason I haven't already done it is because we do not particularly need the extra space (although it would be nice to have it though). So it's more to do with if we ever plan to move which we may as we are thinking along the lines of retiring somwehere else (possibly Devon in about 10 years)
    I think....

    Easily for a 4 bed house, there is also a cloakroom downstairs and two of the existing bedooms have vanity units. There is only the two of us live here (although of course the extension would be in mind for when we sell it as a family house).
