"Is a further two"

Question

Which of the following two sentences is correct:

A. There are a further two bedrooms downstairs.

B. This is a further two bedrooms downstairs.

'A' sounds correct, and is logical because 'bedrooms' is plural. That said, I have found several real estate agents using 'B' (quick search on Google).

Many thanks in advance for your help,

James

You originally wrote about This is a further two bedrooms. That's why I googled that.

Sorry - my typo.

Thanks again for your help.

I was surprised to find so many examples of 'there is a further two'. To me it sounded wrong but I wondered if I was missing something.
