Not sure that can be right How would it work? Would you have to haul the mattress off to access? Surely it would be easier to have doors along the front edge.
Having said that I have no idea what else it could be.0 -

It's hard to be sure but I think that room is the downstairs "bedroom/study" on the floorplan, and all I can guess is that it's a sort of strange built in table-and-seating
It looks the middle bit is designed to be a table, as that would be an odd and awkward means of opening/access for storage. It's odd-looking though, and looks just as awkward to sit down at. I'd hazard a guess that perhaps it can be lowered so that the whole can be converted into a bed base? Such that the room can be used as a study or as a bedroom but isn't intended to be both at once, if that makes sense?
Quite bizarre. Maybe it makes more sense when you see it in person.0 -

I wonder if the current owners are Asiatic (the lanterns and some of the decor in the lounge suggest they could be)? My Chinese friend has a similar-looking (although better finished) set-up in her house, it's used as a tea nook. It's possible that there were cushions on the 'seats', but that these were removed for photos to show the storage space, which is likely to be more interesting to the average English buyer.0 -

Even Kirsty Allsopp wouldn't have wanted to knock all those walls through. And the bay window should have been centred on the front extension.A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.0 -

That's saying something - she'd want to knock down the outer walls of the Tower of London to provide more through access to the Bloody Tower.0
