Thinking of converting a 4 bed house to a 3 bed and was wondering how this will affect the value of the house for resale.
We are restoring a victorian 4 bed house in dublin about 1700sqft. But the bathroom is dismally small (about 4'x5'). The bedrooms are currently approx: 13'x14'; 7'x14'; 10'x12'; 10'x12' The choice is to
1. Leave the house as a 4 bed and take a few feet off one (or two) of the bedrooms to increase the size of the bathroom
2. Convert the smallest bedroom into a bathroom and have access from hall and largest bedroom into new bathroom. Make current small bathroom into ensuite for one of the other bedrooms.
We are conscious that we may wish to sell again in 5+ years and would like to understand if these choices would greatly affect resale value.
Thanks
