Are we mad? Large house for 3 people

[Cluckycluck]

At the moment we live in a large 3 bedroom house. There is only myself, my husband and our 3 year old and we don't want to have anymore children.

Although I love our current house, it's layout is no longer working for us. It's a bungalow with 3 acres. Previously owners just randomly added extensions around the house so its not conventional at all. The longer we live here the less it is working for us.

We are in a really good position financially and can comfortably afford a very, very nice house. We want something old with features and the majority of places that fill our list of wants in the right areas have 6 bedrooms with 5+ acres.

We have found two places I love one with 9 bedrooms and one with 6 bedrooms.

Honestly are we absolutely mad to be considering such large houses for the three of us?

There's only three of us, and if additional costs weren't an issue, I could easily use a 6 bed house. 2 bedrooms for us, one given over to gym equipment, another as a dressing room, one as a living space for DS when older (sofa, desk etc.), one as a spare room. 2 reception rooms - one as a normal living room, the other maybe as a games room or playroom for a young child. Easy to fill the space if you can afford it!

The 6b sounds great! Go for it. Good luck.

I’d stuffer with something large. In fact we downsized from a large house to a medium sized house. Lots of under used rooms, maintenance and cleaning.

My fiends cousin discovered someone living in his annex and they'd been there for months! So make sure you have motion sensor security installed for piece of mind.
Was a large rural property.
