Buildings Insurance-No. of Bedrooms

how about this one ?
"4/5 beds" on written details
"5 beds" on digital details
I would certainly call/use the 2 ground floor "bedrooms" as study and family rooms.
To me this is a 3 bedroom house

What is a bedroom.... I live alone, if I buy a "3 bedroom bungalow", but only have one set up as my bedroom, with the others being "Junk 1", "Junk 2", is that a 3 bed bungalow or 1? And, is it "3 beds + 1 reception", or "2 beds + 1 reception + 1 dining" if they're all empty except my bedroom and a sofa in the reception?
As a bungalow they're all on the same floor, so no division of "well, bedrooms would be all that lot upstairs".
The issue is: insurance companies don't make it clear what you count.0 -

So phone them, describe your property, and ask them how many bedrooms they consider it to be. That should only take about 5 mins.
As mentioned above, insurers generally record calls, so you can refer them to the call, if the insurer challenges you later. (And/or after the call, you can send them an email confirming what was agreed.)0
