Does house have 3 or 4 bedrooms?

I'd want the ad to say 4 bedroom house so you get interest from families. Then say whatever you like in the details.

Still bigger than any of the bedrooms in the house I'm buying!

I looked at a house like that and it was marketed as"guest suite"

Our last house had a similar room/set-up. It was a Georgian house with a 1980s extension that included a 8m x 3.5m (approx) room with adjacent bathroom.

When we purchased in 2011 it was described as a granny annex.

In addition, the house had five bedrooms over the second and third floors as well as three ground floor reception rooms - but no kitchen, lol :rotfl:

We reconfigured the property and built a large kitchen extension. When we sold in 2014, our EA described the former annex as 'family room/bedroom five' (we'd converted a first floor bedroom into another bathroom) and suggested it would be suitable for ageing relative or teenager as we'd retained the ensuite, albeit converted to a shower room. When staging the house for sale we dressed all upper bedrooms with beds etc, but not the family room.

The house we had before that actually had only two upstairs bedrooms and five ground floor reception rooms - plus a conservatory - in addition to the kitchen and two bathrooms. The vendor's EA described it as a five bed house with two receptions. We only used the two upstairs rooms as bedrooms and the rest were music room, study, library etc. When we sold we described it the same way. Our buyers had three kids - and have since had a further two - so they utilise some of the ground floor rooms as bedrooms.

Our master bedroom with en suite bathroom is downstairs, suits us fine. We have a dining room and study as well plus the main bathroom. 3 double bedrooms upstairs and a bathroom.

OK as a double room:

What is often forgotten is there are minimum sizes for bedrooms, something so many estate agents & letting agents seem unaware of: They apply to all properties, be they owner-occupied, council tenancies or private lets...

The minimum floor area considered enough for your family is:

• 50 - 69 square feet (4.6 - 6.4 square metres) for 0.5 people
• 70 - 89 square feet (6.5 - 8.3 square metres) for 1 person
• 90 - 109 square feet (8.4 -10.1 square metres) for 1.5 people
• 110 square feet (10.2 square metres) for 2 people..

0.5 people btw is a child between 1 & 10 yrs old. See
