Subject: Reconfiguration of upstairs bedrooms!

Im looking to buy a new house following a divorce. Would love to stay in the same area, but it's looking like to get what I want with my budget, I'll need to take on some kind of project. Given its ideal location, I'm considering this house, but the upstairs configuration won't work for me. I have two boys who are very close in age, so I need to equalise the two bedrooms a little more. The whole house needs work, but the bedroom configuration is the absolute dealbreaker—the rest to follow. Any ideas are very very much appreciated!

The only way I can see is by doing the following. ...
Take a bit off the main bedroom to move the doors for beds 2 and 3. Bed 3 claims a bit of the landing.
You could then take a bot of the ensuite to make a wardrobe space as main bed size would be compromised. Or, if not, utilise the strange shape that would be left as storage.
It seems like a lot of work for not a lot of gain. Are the children really that bothered or can you explain that's just how houses are?
Other option may be the garage or the loft.

Sorry, photo attached.

Goodness! Is the main bedroom even useable with that crammed in en-suite? That must have a sliding door to be practical. Agree with above, the doors to the other rooms could be moved to be more equal in size.

Are you going to want a decent sized bedroom for yourself too? Tricky to get three decent success rooms from that space.
I'd remove the ensuite first and foremost. If you really must have a separate bathroom consider returning the study downstairs into a shower room and utility.
Assess if it's possible to take any space from the landing to give to the littlest room, it's tricky to tell as the EA has made a complete bu of the floor plan.
Then its just a question of moving walls around to make evenly sized rooms.

If the kids are young enough could they share? You might be better off taking out the wall between 2 and 3 to make one much bigger room and then clever furniture arrangement to give the kids their own areas.

Or if they are older I'd suggest you take the study as a bedroom, as it's bigger than bed 3, and they can have beds 1 and 2.

Might it be easier to convert the garrage to a Master bedroom and put the kids in bed 1 and bed 2?

Thanks so much everyone! I knew you would have ideas! Im going to have a look next week, tap on some walls and get a proper feel for the space. The I shall be referring back to these comments and updating. Ill be back, thank you 😘

I like this idea. Garage - main crib. Study - bathroom. Bedroom 3 - new study. Bedrooms 1 & 2 - rip out en-suite and equalise. Good luck! Hope it works out.
