DH and I are looking at two properties on a new development and can't decide which to choose. Unfortunately they are still being built so we can't look round and are going off plans.
Option 1 is a four bedroom (over three floors) house with three doubles and a single. The master in particular is a very good size and has an ensuite with a double shower. Upstairs wise the space is perfect for us (a couple with one baby on the way).
Downstairs however we are struggling a bit more. There is a small kitchen with a large hallway separating it from a lounge diner which is fairly small and we are struggling somewhat as to how we would fit dining table, chairs and sitting room furniture in it.
The garden in this property is slightly bigger although only just and it is end of terrace.
Option 2 is a three bedroom over two floors with two doubles and a single. The bedrooms are a similar size to option 1 apart from the master which is smaller. Still has an ensuite but only a single shower rather than a double.
The living space is more generous in option 2 though with a kitchen diner (which we prefer to a lounge diner) and a bigger sitting room. There is slightly less storage space but the difference is small.
The garden is marginally smaller and it is mid terrace.
Both houses have downstairs loos and family bathrooms which are pretty much the same size.
Just wondering whether anybody with a family can give an indication of whether it is more important to have a larger and more social living space or larger bedroom space?
TIA
