We're just starting out on a loft conversion and trying to decide what will be most worthwhile. The initial drawings are for two beds and a shower room. It's a standard Victorian end of terrace. Option one is for a long thin bedroom across the width of the house, a square bedroom in the middle and shower room in a rear addition. My concern about this is that the front room will be mostly under the eaves so not very practical as anything other than a child's bedroom.
Option two is for a large bedroom and shower room in the existing loft with a small bedroom in the rear addition. I don't know the exact dimensions of that room yet but it looks pretty tiny on the plan and might just end up as glorified storage space.
So the dilemma we're facing is whether to go with either of those options or save ourselves the expense of the rear addition and just do a massive master suite. We weren't planning to move up there ourselves so were hoping to keep the shower room accessible to both bedrooms, but would probably make it ensuite if there was only one bedroom up there. Do you think a small fifth bedroom / study adds sufficient value to make it worthwhile? I'm planning to speak to an estate agent on Monday but wanted views in the meantime. Thanks!
