Room Sizes

Bigphil1474

Looks like your 2 doubles are a similar sized to one of our doubles which is 12 feet by 8 feet 2". The small room is definitely just a single. Bedrooms look a bit on the small size overall for me, but depends who may buy it in the future.

Our similar sized bedroom has a fixed cupboard thing in it from over the stairs, a king sized bed in the top right of the room , a book shelf and chest of drawers along the same wall, and would still definitely have room for a cot either at the end of the bed or under the window. We have another fixed half cupboard in their which we could remove and put a wardrobe in if required. A bit of a squeeze for everything but just temporary. 

Don't sell until the cot is no longer needed and then have a good declutter to make the rooms look bigger than they are?

In our current home, we can get a king size bed in all 3 rooms on the top floor (not much else in 2 of them) and a single bed in what is my office on the middle floor.

This house meets our needs but is not anything like my parents old house where you could comfortably fit 4 single beds in each bedroom with plenty of room around the bed (and that had 4 rooms that size plus a larger attic room).

It seems today that there is a push for smaller rooms anyway.

To edit: we live in a 4 bed house and use the largest bedroom as a lounge / guest room (we have a lounge kitchen) but as we only use our bedroom for sleeping so don't need a big room.

I have an offer accepted on a 3bed semi detached property but somehow i feel the room sizes might cause problems in the future resale of the house

Master bedroom size - 12’7 x 8’2
second bedroom size - 11’1x 9’1
Third bedroom size - 7’5 x 7’5

I am not sure it an king size bed would fit in master bedroom along with bed side cot. Please suggest..

Personally I'd run a mile from rooms this small. Are there lots of fitted wardrobes and storage?

The master bedroom is tiny. I'd consider that a VERY SMALL double and certainly not a size I'd consider for a master bedroom. A king size (5ft x 6ft6) bed would take up too much space.

If it's priced the same as a 2 bed then fair enough, as depending on the layout you could knock through and make a larger room.

Those bedroom sizes are on the smaller side but if the layout works for you then so what?

You have liked it enough to offer on it. When the time comes to sell someone else will.

You are buying a house for you, not for whoever may or may not buy it off you at some point in the future.

I think the master bedroom is a little small, but your budget will decide what you can have. The smallest bedroom in my house was 6'3" by 7'3". It was my middle son's bedroom and he used to have his girlfriend sleep over too! We put in a built in bed which went across the width, a slim line wardrobe and 'desk' (board held up with brackets) and lots of shelves. You can make things work if you need to. We've since changed it to a bathroom and the old tiny bathroom became part of bedroom 3. We would have liked more space but couldn't afford a bigger house. Minimum space requirements take into account the whole of the property, not just the bedroom. 
I have always found it helpful to plan my rooms on squared paper, and cut out furniture so I can see how different layouts work. You can get computer programmes that do the same thing.

The room sizes haven't put you off buying so why should it future buyers. We don't know the layout of the room so all we can say is on face value a kingsize bed and cot will fit. 

They have not actually bought the house and are having doubts, a future buyer is also likely to have similar doubts I would say.
