It was like that when we bought the house and have had too many other
jobs to spend time on it. Easier for me just to replace the switch
bearing in mind I dont know yet if both switches are connected.

Not sure the time involved would be any different.

If they are I will try and trace the `dead` one.
Maybe it was for an outdoor light or something. Previous owners done a
lot of DIY and they owned a light company :-)

Are you in contact with them perchance? The answer may be a short
phone call away.

I am slowly replacing their halogens with LED.
Lounge has 12 x 60w, kitchen 13 x halogens.

Are these mains voltage or 12V? I have a lot of 12V halogen bulbs and
I am wondering if they can be replaced or if the huge drop in load
would damage the transformer.
