Once you have the essentials such as a kitchen, dining room, living space, bedrooms and bathrooms, what else could a home possibly need? In larger, more luxurious properties in Berkshire, the answer is often extra rooms that go beyond the expected. These additions are what give a property its sense of exclusivity and elevate it above the ordinary.
As homes increase in size, design naturally leans towards more rooms rather than simply expanding existing ones. Few properties, even at the very top end, are completely open plan. Instead, the sense of scale is reflected in the number and variety of dedicated spaces.
If you have a spare room or you are considering how best to present your home for sale, here are some of the most sought-after “extra” rooms we see in luxury properties.
Cinema Room
Create a private screening space with blackout walls, plush recliners and a projector for the ultimate film nights.
Home Gym
No queues for equipment, no commute, and a motivating space tailored to your fitness routine. A home gym can also be a strong selling point when you list your property.
Home Office or Study
With remote working now the norm, a dedicated study adds both practicality and prestige. Think bespoke shelving, a statement desk and a calm, productive environment.
Spa or Pool
From a private indoor pool to a hot tub retreat, spa-style amenities are the hallmark of true luxury living.
Equestrian Facilities
For horse lovers, on-site stables are the ultimate convenience and lifestyle statement. Properties in Berkshire with equestrian land remain highly desirable.
Workshop or Hobby Room
Whether for restoring classic cars, fine woodworking, or creative projects, a tailored space brings passion projects to life.
Children’s Playroom
In larger homes, these are not just “toy rooms” but often function as second living rooms designed around family life.
Dressing Room or Beauty Suite
Walk-in wardrobes, vanity lighting, and mirrored walls transform getting ready into a daily luxury.
Private Bar
Ideal for entertaining, a home bar brings sophistication and flair to dinner parties or evening drinks.
Adding Luxury to Your Home
Even if your home does not boast sweeping grounds or multiple wings, transforming an underused space into something special can make everyday living more enjoyable. If you are thinking about selling, it can also help your property stand out in the market and attract higher-value offers.
