The average number of residents in a two bedroom house is going to be somewhat lower than 2.4.[Deleted User] said:
That's great for you, but the average UK household size is 2.4. Unless you are saying that the average terrace house is only designed for two people maximum...MaryNB said:
Plenty of households are comprised of less than 3 people so there is a market for these so called "micro houses". My house is only 65m2 but it's fine for me. I live alone and am childfree. Even if I end up getting a lodger there's still plenty of room. I don't need more space and don't want more space to have to clean or heat. Most of my neighbours along the terrace are either single, couples, or young couples with a baby using it as a starter home. My house is the same size as most of the 2 bed flats in my area and people survive in them. I have the added benefit of having a garden.[Deleted User] said:

It's not actually that small! The whole thing comes in at 700 sq ft, which is a little bit larger than the average terrace. It would be fairly easy to take the bath out and put a shower cubicle in if desired.[Deleted User] said:Patr100 said:

I would have though that was obvious, at least to most British people.
and if you hang the shower curtain inside the bath rather that outside it usually works fine to keep water escaping.
British micro houses for you I guess. I'd rather just have a shower and no bath, than a rubbish combined one.

What a strange looking property! 'Stunning Fitted Kitchen' is pushing it. Some of the cupboard doors are sagging and misaligned, and there's mastic smeared about in various places. A teacher might give the place a solid C, but note that it could have been better with more effort.Sunsaru said:https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/110703956#/media?channel=RES_BUY&id=media3&ref=photoCollage

You think that's the average? A huge proportion of two bedroom properties are (like mine!) going to be occupied by one person.Silvertabby said:

The house I am in right now is two floors, each 7m x 6m. There's a chunk out of the ground floor for the garage, so the habitable area is about 75 sqm.user1977 said:

These houses are typically occupied by families, with a couple of children. It's not bags of space for a family, but it's okay.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0
