3 bed house - 3rd bedroom attached to another.

FBaby

But it IS a three bedroom as per the size definition. The fact that it is not a 'convenient' 3 bedrooms doesn't change that.

Ultimately, as it's been said, the price is determined on the basis of demand and supply and whether the seller is desperate to sale. Whether it is a 2 bed or a 3 doesn't change that.

The thing is that many people might have been prepared to accept it as a 3-bedder some decades back.

But its now the late 20th/early 21st century and in our "day and age" its a 2-bedder. In our time - we expect bedrooms to be private (ie no-one else has to walk through them to get to and from their bedroom). We don't expect that we can be in our bedroom quietly sleeping, having some ahem "recreational activity";) or the like and someone else walks through our bedroom whilst we are doing so. We shut our bedroom door and, with that, we shut out the world (well...the rest of our household anyway).

That's before one goes into the fact that its such a narrow width that I would think the only way to get a bedroom's worth of furniture into it would be to put in one of those bedroom furniture sets that is like a single bunk bed - but with the bottom "level" having a chest of drawers and wardrobe fitted into the space rather than a bottom bunk.

THe house is what it is,

The market of buyers will be similar today as it will be when it is sold on again.

BY calling it a three bed to start with is probably a good move as it pulls in those looking for 2bed + another room that may not bother with those advertised as 2bed.

THose wanting true 3bed will move on anyway.

My house is like this for a 2 bedroom, weird layout, has no landing, top of stairs into bedroom 1 then into bedroom 2. It was 1 terrace house split into 2.

I use bedroom 2 as a storage room.

I love alone.

Thanks all for the input. I think I'll wait it out and reconsider if its still there in a month or two

Its a good idea, but this one I think would be difficult to do.. the third room is located directly opposite the door to the second bedroom so i think the corridor would have to lead through the door, walling off the 2nd room then needing a new door to provide access. Its a little hard to explain without the floor plan but I think I'll go for broke and offer on a 2 bed basis. They can only say no!

Same- doorways opposite.

So the door was moved into the stud wall too. Same door (old house, old door), rehung. We just have the old 'door frame' in place- it;s through the 9in thick wall so is in effect a squared wooden archway

Yep I viewed several like that round here (1900 terraced houses)the ones I viewed the current owners use that side room for a cot room or study. My BIL used to live in a 3 bed where you accessed both the bathroom and the loft room from the massive second bedroom - rendering it totally useless as a bedroom - most bizarrely laid out house I have ever been in!

Our house is like this, it's quite common where I am. We have to go through the spare bedroom to get to our bathroom and the box room. The box room is my dressing room, which I love and makes good use of the space.

We have potential to put a corridor in the middle bedroom which would allow us access straight to the bathroom and dressing room from our bedroom at the front of the house. It turns out there is just a false wall between our bedroom and the middle bedroom and the door frames were already there.

It's a pretty common layout for the slightly larger Victorian terraces where I am (Reading), but round here the estate agents tend to describe them as "2+1 bedrooms".

However, as those houses were generally built with downstairs bathrooms (or more likely an outside toilet, and you had your bath in a tin bath by the fire), many people have moved the bathroom upstairs, either as a large en suite to the 2nd bedroom, or completely replacing the downstairs bathroom
