We shouldn't be too judgemental about people who might not have many friends they can invite round.

That's true, sometimes you do need space for an imaginary friend

Maybe I'm too picky, but the dimensions of the main bedroom in this Persimmon new-build are strange - 18' 10" x 5' 9". A standard double bed would have 7.5 inches either side for access. Pics seem to show the room as a single + ensuite "master bedroom"! https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-68126668.html

And a king size wouldn't fit in at all.

I could manage the house - as a single person. I'd just have to sleep in the second bedroom (in order to get my 5' wide bed into it). It would feel a bit odd not being able to use the main bedroom as my bedroom though. I'd have to keep my clothes in the main bedroom and that would mean disturbing anyone I had staying in what would be my "guest bedroom" if I wanted them.

Cue for one could spend some time sitting there thinking "Now how should they have done the layout on that house?":think:

Don't believe everything you read. It's a mistake, which you can deduce from the size of the ground floor rooms, although there could be more mistakes on those!


Picture 4, for example, doesn't seem to relate to any of the bedrooms.

If it's very new built it might not actually be built yet, and just be made up from other houses on the development.

5'9" is probably the width of the room at it's narrowest point.

Maybe a typo? If you add the dimensions up downstairs its doesn't seem right? My maths aint great but..
EDIT: nope - they have deffo got the 'master' set up as a single as its the only bedroom with 2 windows and the 'double' bed is in the 2'nd bedroom - plonkers...guess the kids get the ensuite and the grownups get to use the main bathroom then. Bet the photo of the 'double' room is using a 4 foot double (queen size)to make it look bigger anyway...

As a previous poster mentioned the pictures don't match the floorplan. the room you're referring to has 2 windows on 2 different walls, the floorplan has 2 windows on the same wall.

Not sure if it is just the camera angle but those stairs in pic 2 look lethal :eek:

I think they may have stretched the picture vertically a little as the door of the dryer/washing machine appears to be slightly oval as opposed to circular.
