A house is only too small if they try to cram too much into the floorspace.[Deleted User] said:
They need to increase the floor space. Houses are just too small.
They also need to make better use of available space.
Looking at floorplans on Rightmove I agree with your second statement. Some layouts are awful. Sometimes it can't be helped when extending an existing house but on new builds there's no excuse.0 -

That's true I suppose. With most new houses they should really be 1-2 bedrooms less than how they were designed, it's extremely rare to see one that has a reasonable number of rooms for the available area.GaleSF63 said:

It's not just the floorspace though, they tend to make really bad use of space for the whole plot including gardens, and the entire estate in general.1 -

And the kitchen in a conservatory that must be cold and expensive to heat, and the non BR compliant "loft room" that they at least did not describe as a bedroom, I bet that leaks heat like it is going out of fashion. Surprising with both of those that the EPC was an E, I bet it's one expensive house to heat.MzH_2021 said:https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/118032347#/?channel=RES_BUY Check out the mirrored ceiling in the lounge!

Bizarre listing! The house has an absolutely glorious outlook, which must be one of its best features, but not a sniff of it in the advert. It's also got a garage, but is listed as having on road parking only.MzH_2021 said:https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/118032347#/?channel=RES_BUY Check out the mirrored ceiling in the lounge!

I'm not sure I'd want to live less than 500' from South Park. Imagine having Cartman and Mr Garrison as your neighbours!millicent said:

Not sure I'd describe a railway, busy road and industrial docks area as a "glorious outlook".Ditzy_Mitzy said:

Can't see any evidence it has a garage either.2 -
It's a damn sight better than most people have got, industrial land has a rugged beauty to it and the dock basin is lovely to look at. The garage is at the back and is accessed via a service road.peter3hg said:
