    How many houses have a sauna in the bathroom?

    Actually, about two months ago I viewed a house that had a sauna-not in a bathroom,but a stand-alone room with a separate shower. I liked the house but thought the sauna was a negative feature as I don't use them much at my gym, worry about the cost and maintenance. Kept thinking about what could I do with a long, narrow, wood-lined room with a shower at the entrance?
    Any suggestions?

    yukkkk. Whoever was the architect should be struck off and taken to a crimes against good taste tribunal.

    Or if you mean it's suspiciously cheap, it's leasehold and 25% share of ownership (with the current rental at £704.04 per calendar month for the remaining 75%) or with the option to purchase 100% of £420,000.

    Did it have any natural light? If so, a study? Or somewhere to put the treadmill / rowing machine?

    Massive house though, with tons of land, I'd love to get my hands on it. Would be even better with a floor plan so I can work out if the bathroom upstairs can be split in two, the downstairs bathroom become a utilty room & cloakroom etc.

    Can someone Property Bee it please. looks like it's been on for yonks.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    It's certainly in very good order and done to "rather individual" tastes:rotfl:. I often wonder what the "story" is as to why a home-owner would do things to such a high standard/but very "individual" according to THEIR taste and then sell (as they would know most buyers would instantly remove that sitting room mirror and the "brick" effect on some of the walls).

    Would love to know if anyone knows the story behind the sale of that one.
