Hello
We're on the cusp of commencing a large scale refurb of our 5 bed house. We're adding on 2 bedrooms in a top floor extension and knocking another 2 through to make a master suite, leaving us 6 in total. However, the builder has now suggested that we could consider sacrificing one of the smaller existing doubles to create a large landing/gallery type area at the top of the stairs. The pros would be that it would allow a lot more natural light into a quite dingy top floor landing, and would add a bit of 'wow factor', especially if you added a feature light, small sitting area or something, but the con would obviously be losing a bedroom! There are only 3 of us so we don't need 6 bedrooms, but I guess logic has always told me that more bedrooms equals higher resale value if we ever needed to move. I thought I might ask an estate agent what their thoughts might be- but do you have any? Thanks!
