We cannot decide between two houses.
House A: has open plan kitchen with space for a 4 chair dining table, smallish lounge, utility room and a largeish hall that can also double up as a dining area. 15k more than house B. It has 2 double and one single bedroom.
House B: Has one extra room, all bedrooms are much larger, more storage, but downstairs area is rather small. A smallish eat in kitchen barely fitting a four chair dining table and small lounge.
So essentially question is whether it is better to have a larger living area or more bedrooms. We can live without the extra bedroom, but it would come in handy when family come over from abroad for extended visits. House B is also in a gated development , so the safety aspect is a bonus esp in London.
I wonder whether 15k plus the loss loss.of extra bedroom and overall smaller bedrooms is a worthy tradeoff for an open plan kitchen and bigger dining space? Pls help me decide!
