How many bedrooms do I have?

[shhhbabysleeping]

We bought a 2 bed bungalow with 1 reception room and have converted the loft to add 3 bedrooms. We have also extended along the side of the house to add a playroom (no window in this room though).
I need to get new house insurance but I can't figure out how many bedrooms it is and how many reception rooms, and when asking people who know my house I get everything from 3 to 6 bedrooms!
What's the consensus?

2 bed originally + 3 added bedrooms so 5 and then 1 reception room originally + 1 added so 2 reception rooms is the way I would do it.

I'd say 3 bedrooms and 1 reception.

If the play room cant legally be a bedroom (I'm sure a window is required), then its not a bedroom. Possibly a study though?

How many rooms actually have beds in them? Those are the ones I would count as bedrooms. If a room has a sofa, table and chairs, toys etc then I would count that as a reception room.

Sorry, is the loft converted to into 3 bedrooms, in addition to the original 2 bed bungalow? Thats 5 in total then.

Wow. You got 3 bedrooms in your loft.

That would be 5 then.

@NannyR only 3 have beds in at the moment but at one point recently 5 had beds in so I'm not sure that reasoning works. My parents have a large 4 bed house, it doesn't become a 2 bed just because they only put beds in 2 of the rooms.

Yes we put 3 bedrooms, plus 2 bathrooms up there. It's quite a big space.

I feel like 5 is the right answer simply because there were 2 and we added another 3. But then I think 1 reception room absolutely isn't enough for a 5 bed house and 4 bedrooms/2 reception is better balanced. The playroom while it has quite a decent floorspace is long and quite narrow so couldn't be used as a living room or dining room so I'm not even sure if it counts as a reception room... and as pointed out it can't be a bedroom because of no window.

Surely if its for insurance, it makes no difference that the rooms 'sound' like the right balance!!!

Sounds like a 5 bed, 1 reception with a long, skinny study/play room!

I would call it four bedroom two receptions. The room without a window would surely be regarded as a cupboard, even if it’s quite large.

As far as I understand it, building regulations require bedrooms to have a window capable of being used as a fire escape. A windowless room is not a bedroom or a reception room, it's a cupboard.

Good point, I did know a bedroom required a window I wasn't sure about a reception room. But I think you're right it's just a big cupboard, regardless of what we use it for. It did actually have a window initially but we bricked it up recently because things fitted better in there without it! Now I'm worrying about fire safety if we're using it as a playroom
