    Use the separate room as a home office.

    Hmm. That raises a thought... What would contents insurance say about any computer equipment, say, stolen from there?

    No, it isn't. It's a one-bed flat with a second bedroom that you have to leave the flat and walk through a common area to get to.

    To be fair, it could be a really nice one-bed flat...

    I guess it would be similar to using an outbuilding as an office. I would just expect the bedroom to have the same level of security as the rest of the flat. In some ways it would half your burglary risk as they can only get into half your flat...

    However I don't think Social Services would be very impressed if you had small children in a separate bedroom/ flat!

    Surely on the plus side - if you wanted to have a lodger you could rent it as a self-contained bedroom. Ikea do those small kitchen units that you could squeeze in although I'm not sure you'd be able to wash in the sink!

    Im sorry but this sounds like a brothel room.


    A bedroom on its own, with a wash basin.

    It was a different thread about a different flat that found an anal dildo under the bed, wasn't it?
