Two-beds with benefits: flats and houses with extra features from Stockwell to Strawberry Hill

How much is a third bedroom worth to you?

For a couple or small family, the requisite leap in budget for a full extra bedroom might be better spent elsewhere.

You could easily be won over by secure off-street parking, a storage vault or a share of the freehold. Or you might prefer to splash out on a sunny roof terrace or wine room for a welcome quality of life boost.

From Stockwell to South Kensington, these two-bedroom properties offer perks with pulling power.
