We’re currently looking at buying a house that ticks most of our boxes (we have a healthy budget but in an expensive area where we are unlikely to get anything that meets all requirements). However, there are two downstairs bedrooms (and bathroom). Upstairs has three large doubles and two bathrooms.

We have 3 children under 5. We are thinking of having the master plus two bedrooms for the children upstairs (two can share), and once they get bigger, we’ll move the master downstairs and they can share upstairs.

Would this bother you? We’re not sure if it’ll make the house hard to resell incase people view it as a 3 bed rather than a 5 (and it’s just over £1m, so it would be seen as a 5 if reselling rather than a 3!).

YABU - it wouldn’t bother me

We have a 6 bed. 3 teens on top floor. Me abs DP in middle and two youngest downstairs. Works fine for us.
