I like it:D.
It would be a "dream house" to me and I wouldn't have to touch a thing hardly - just change carpets from cream to oatmeal and change the colours on a few walls to white as well and that would be about it for the house itself (garden I'd do quite a lot of work in). Though I wouldnt like the "private estate fees" or the fact I might find it big enough that I'd want someone else to do the housework (and change the light bulbs when they went!). But, if one can afford a house like that - then no problem to pay those fees and for someone to do the housework I guess.

Is it really a bedroom if you can only get to it through another bedroom?0

It's a bedroom and if living in such a house I would prefer sleeping in that bedroom rather than the "access" bedroom. Many houses built in this way prior to the 20th century.If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales0 -

Really? I know many rooms had follow-ons, but I've always seen them as dressing rooms rather than bedrooms.0 -

Our current 400 year old cottage used to have three bedrooms, one of which (a room measuring approximately 17' x 11') was only accessible by passing through the similarly sized 'middle' bedroom. Until 1999 there was no indoor toilet and no bathroom. The person that bought the cottage in 1999 divided the middle room into a bathroom and large hallway/landing area (each roughly 8' wide) that we currently use as a study.
This was never a bedroom/dressing room setup as it was a smallish estate cottage.
OTOH, we used to own a six bedroom Victorian 'villa' that had a large bedroom with a much smaller (quarter of the size) interconnecting room leading off it. We converted it to an ensuite but it had started life as a dressing room.Mortgage-free for fourteen years!

Now that you mention it, I have come across a couple over the years, usually (as you say) in older, more rural cottages. I suppose in those days there was no use wasting heat on hall spaces if you didn't need to!0 -
I don't think privacy was a big issue in the days when families were large and children shared beds as a matter of routine.Bossypants wrote: »I suppose in those days there was no use wasting heat on hall spaces if you didn't need to!
But apart from the necessity for toilet trekking, I'm not keen on the address. 'Jeyes Road' conjures up the wrong sort of images for me!
And despite the house being pleasant enough, I'm not a fan of this address either:
