2 Beds vs 3 Beds - The Cost of Moving & The Hidden Cost of That Extra Bedroom

For many in Attleborough, moving from a 2- to 3-bedroom home signals life changes—more space, a home office, or a growing family. But that extra bedroom comes at a price. In Attleborough, the jump can be steep, especially in sought-after areas. If you're thinking of upsizing, it pays to know what that third bedroom might really cost.

For many local Attleborough homeowners, the jump from a 2-bedroom to a 3-bedroom home marks a major life milestone — a growing family, the need for a home office, or simply the desire for more space. But how much does that next bedroom really cost?
I ran the numbers using regional averages, and the results are striking. On average, that third bedroom adds anywhere between £50,000 and £140,000 to the cost of a home, depending on where you live. While this data is based on broader regional trends, the local picture here in Attleborough tells its own story.
In Attleborough, we often see a significant difference in price between 2- and 3-bedroom properties, especially in the more popular parts of town. Buyers looking to make the leap will need to budget carefully, as competition for good quality 3-beds can be intense, particularly those with off-road parking or proximity to the local schools.
Whether you're planning your next move or just curious about what your current home could be worth, it's always worth understanding these trends. The property market doesn’t stand still, and neither should your knowledge of it.
