We are currently looking for a house. Due to circumstances and having 2 dc's in different schools we are quite limited on the area we are looking in. There also seems to be minimal properties out there at the moment. The ones that are coming onto the market in our preferred area within our budget are all very similar in design. 2 double bedrooms and one tiny 3rd.
We are considering building a single story extension. As the main thing we need is a decent sized bedroom we are thinking about making the extension a double bedroom with ensuite leaving the bedrooms upstairs free for the dc's. Just wondering if this sounds reasonable? Or a stupid idea? Or does anyone have any better ideas to make the properties work for us? DC's are 14 and 10, neither want to be squashed into a box room!
I will try and add a poorly devised diagram
