    Description says Dining Kitchen. Floorplan shows two rooms with the pokey kitchen (pic 2) and dining room in pic 6 with hob and ovens!

    That dividing wall is crying out to be knocked through.

    Loving the wallpaper on the banisters - pic 5

    The exposed concrete ceilings remind me of multi storey car oarks.
    Grim and cold looking.

    There's no window in the dining room/bedroom though. You could put the walls back up but really you'd just have a big cupboard.

    The granite can look nice when it's cleaned up but given that with just about every tenement I've viewed in Aberdeen the vendors have declared on the Questionnaire that there have never been any major works to the roof (some of these vendors have owned the properties for 10, 15, 20 and in one case 35 years) and the home reports nearly always say that the attic timbers are wet and you can see the sky through the holes in the roof I'm not surprised that they don't spend money cleaning the granite. They'd rather be counting their bobbies than spending them.

    This is the council building which had it's granite cleaned and I think it looks nice.

    Not in the usual spirit of my posts on this thread but this is probably one of the most beautiful homes I've seen. I'm sure they must have used an interior designer or 10 :)

    Using their logic, you also have a living room/bedroom, hallway/bedroom, bathroom/bedroom, shared basement/bedroom, back garden/bedroom.

    Wayhay! Seven bedrooms.

    When I went to Aberdeen I felt that I didn't like the colour of the local stone, it seemed to look dirty and drab. I wondered why people didn't paint their homes; but I guess they may not share my views.
    You could quite easily put a sofa & tv in the current dining area & turn the lounge into a second bedroom though.

    I have heard of Dinos Chapman, and I love the house in principle, but not sure how much I could live with all the concrete in practice, cool as it does look here.
