Have a look at this.

Title says it is a "3 bedroom house for sale" but looking at the description it is carefully worded as:

"A Three Bedroom Semi-Detached Property Converted Into Two Bedrooms".

Amazing what these agents can get away with.......

Actually I don't think that's bad marketing. It is quite clear that it's a 2 bedroom house. However, it makes it plain that it could easily be a 3 bedroom house (because it has been before) and it's possible to see exactly where the door and wall to bedroom 3 were.

Having put back a wall and a door in my own house, then I know that that really isn't very much effort or cost to do at all. Day or two and few hundred £s (plus any paid labour required) and job done - back to 3 bedrooms.

EDIT: Just spotted DavesNave has already commented that it's an Easy Territory job.

I've also reinstated a bedroom wall and door. A days' work spread over two or three days and my elderly father providing 'a second pair of hands' occassionally. Simple stuff.

Nice house but I'd want to get the leak in the conservatory roof fixed

What a gloomy house.
The chopping boards are the only things that lighten the atmosphere.

Positively gloomy, soulless place - exacerbated by the 40 watt bulbs being used to "illuminate" the photograph.... E.A. can't afford a flash on their camera.

Mind you, the owners did stuff their puppy and stick it by the fire (pic 3).
