Premium listing to promote our annexe?

[moving01]

( NC as this identifies me )We put our house on the market a few days before lockdown, so we have no idea how much interest it generated.
Our unique point is a pretty, detached annexe that is a proper separate house. I can't decide if it is worth paying for a Premium listing so photos of the annexe as well as the house show up in listings. Can you have a look and tell me if it is clear enough?

What do you think? I suspect that anyone looking for an annexe will find it anyway, but then I wonder if we should be going all out, because this is effectively our launch to the market. We are downsizing, so we aren't in a hurry, though it would be nice to feel settled.

That's really pretty!

I think it's perfectly obvious there is an annexe, I'm not sure that a premium listing would make that any more clear, can you explain how it works? What's the cost of a premium listing?

I couldn't tell from the 'headline', says 6 bed detached house. Didn't think it was clear in the pictures nor from Streetview or the floorplans. In fact I'm not sure how the two properties work, but I only skim read the online description after re-reading your opening posts.

I didn't realise people paid extra for premium listing. That explains why some houses under the premium listing are far from, er, premium.

Where is it ? It seems very cheap to me for two houses !

The intro makes it perfectly clear, that's the bit I always read. If others only read the headline, can you change the '6 bed detached house' title to add 'and 2 bed annex'.

One problem is that it is not a 6 bed house, it is 4 beds plus separate 2 bed annexe isn't it?

I agree with SoupDragon - it’s a four bed house with annexe. It’s not clear if you have to leave the house to get to the annexe which would be a massive problem for anyone looking for a six bed house. Also any buyers will be put off by having to pay two lots of council tax unless they were specifically looking for an annexe.

Titling it '4 bed house with seperate 2 bed annexe' would be clearer. Also clarifying the council tax issue mentioned by a poster above. And the annexe appears to be upside down in design? Bedrooms downstairs then living areas upstairs? If I was searching 6 bed then I would expect them all in the same building.

I would certainly change the wording from '6-bed' house to 4-bed + 2-bed annexe as it's not correct.

Your house and your annexe are both lovely, but maybe just a bit tricker to sell than some other annexes. If you wanted to have a 'Granny' come to live, there are no ground floor bathrooms or bedrooms between the 2 houses and the main bathroom in your annexe is off a bedroom which might put others.

I wouldn't spend the extra on advertising - there is a quite a specific buyer out there looking for your home, I'm sure they'll find it.

• Apologies - I see that your main house does have a downstairs bathroom but no downstairs bedroom.

Hi, your house and the annex are both lovely :) I agree with the other posters who suggested that you change the listing from a 6 bed to a 4 bed house with a 2 bed annex. It's a bit misleading to describe it as a 6 bedroomed house when it isn't. Apart from that I'm sure you won't have any problem selling it. Good luck and I hope you find this perfect property to downside to

Side issue, but doesn't pricing it at £510k mean you'll miss out on a ton of potential buyers searching with £500k as their upper limit, even though they might stretch to 510 or you may come down to 500? Just a thought...

Otherwise, your house and annexe are gorgeous and it wasn't obvious to me at first look, only by flicking through the pix/floorplan. Whether it's worth a premium listing very much depends on the cost of the listing, but they certainly tend to stand out on searching as they pop up first.

Lovely house and much bigger inside than it looks from the outside.
Check the floor plans- they don't seem to show the ?storage cupboards in the hall.
Agree that it's not a 6 bed house, it's a 4 +2 property.

Just shows it is confusing, I read it - quickly - as a 6 bed house plus an annexe, so yes, the title definitely needs to be clear!

It's confusing

The title should read: 4 bed detached house with separate 2 bed annexe

Then in the details, it should be separated to

4 bed house: description of all rooms etc

2 bed annexe: description of all rooms etc

The rooms for the annexe are listed in with the description of the main house and the photos aren't clear

Also, it says 2 bedrooms 'in barn'. Sounds a bit meh. Should just have a description heading of annexe and list the rooms and remove the word barn

Just to add though, lovely house! If I had half a million, I'd buy it 🙂

I'm confused by ad too, definitely needs to be clearer. Also love it!

If only you were in w.yorkshire! This is exactly what we are looking for!!

A bit off topic, but in that green bedroom, is the wall/door really that wobbly or is it a Photoshop fail?

100% agree with everyone else to changing to 4 bed and 2 bed annexe (I am in the property industry)

6 bed house that is actually a 4 with 2 elsewhere will be disappointing compared to buyers expectations.

The other way around exceeds buyers expectations.

Beautiful house by the way, good luck with your sale

Thanks for all the comments, they are really helpful. I agree with all of you who said the title is unclear, and I'll discuss that with the agent. It sounds as if it isn't worth going for a premium listing. From what I've read, the cost depends on the arrangement your agent has with Rightmove, and I haven't asked.

Thank you too for all the positive comments on the house. We think it is lovely too! We spent a lot of time and money making it work exactly as we want, and it will be hard to find anything to live up to what we have now. We've spent the weeks of lockdown being profoundly grateful to be here.

Where is it ? It seems very cheap to me for two houses !
Near Kings Lynn. The North Norfolk effect hasn't got here yet, so we are still sensibly priced here.
the annexe appears to be upside down in design?
Yes, to take advantage of the light, views and vaulted ceiling upstairs. We set it up so that if DM couldn't tackle the stairs we could shift the kitchen downstairs.
there is a quite a specific buyer out there looking for your home That is what we have said, though now people have realised the benefits of working from home I suppose it might appeal to someone who wants a fully separate office space.
Check the floor plans- they don't seem to show the ?storage cupboards in the hall. Thanks, yes they are a big coat cupboard and a shelved one full of toys. I'll chase that because I know how much storage matters to me.
in that green bedroom, is the wall/door really that wobbly Yes. I love my wobbly bits... The house is 200 years old, and I don't think the original builders worried about straight lines

check the floor plans-

While they're at it, there's not a doorway marked on bed 4 in the main house, just in case it's possible that it's entered in from bed 3.

I thought I had good attention to detail - clearly not. There should be a doorway from the landing.
