The "have a look at this!" thread II

You sometimes get masses of beds with families from some parts of the world where grandparents and extended family live in. Then kids tend to share beds with one another or grandparents and you see lots of beds in one room, and/or bedrooms only accessible through other bedrooms. Saw arrangements like that a few times when I was first househunting in Walthamstow.

:eek: Where does one start with a house like that? Well - the house was obviously okay once. The second I walked into that reception room and saw a boiler on a wall I'd have thought "There's a first for everything - and I've never seen a boiler in a reception room before" and literally walked out of the house on the spot. Never mind before I spotted a bed in a hallway and beds in the loft. I just wouldnt stick around long enough to wonder just what might be in the garage...

Unless I'd taken it into my head to deliberately go round the whole house (inc. garage) out of sheer curiosity - and a tale to tell about just how many people some try to cram into a house...I'll take a guess at 7 (and who knows whether there might be more beds in the garage).

I agree about the boiler; not where I would put one.


But, why would your buying decision be in the least influenced by the number of people who wouldn't be living there after you'd bought?

The fireplace is a fake and the boiler thus easily hidden away. Rather there than upstairs in a bedroom, surely?

I suspect it's to distract from the mould on the ceilings in the bedrooms.

To me - it's the opposite of "one careful owner". More like a house that has had to "work hard for its living" and one where there would be a lot of people having to "shift around" at the thought of doing any work on the house (so it probably didnt get done if it could possibly be postponed until the next owner:cool:).

Feel a bit sorry for the evidently 3 daughters who have to share a room while the son gets one to himself!

That's probably why they want to move.

Think that bed isn't in the hall, think those stairs are to the attic bedroom.

Think the photographer was in a hurry as these were taken on the run
