New "Have a Look at This" thread

The only issue with the layout is that there is no door for the kitchen, so you get all the noise from cooking and washing up. Having lived in a flat like that I can tell you that it's a real pain.

Scotland is incredibly affordable though.

A striplight gives such a cozy feeling to the lounge
https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/120754334#/?channel=RES_BUY

We had a striplight in our lounge in the 70's 🙈  Peter Kay's "put t' big light on" resonated with me more than most.  In our house it was more often my Mum saying "turn the big light off - everyone can see in!"

More striplight joy here, this time in the bedroom as well as the lounge:

also curious flap-blind for the skylight, or maybe just somewhere to hang yourself when the accommodation gets too much for you.

Is a striplight an absolute no-no?
We have them in our Bathroom and Kitchen.

I don't really have a problem with them, but it feels like it'll be a proper wotsit ache to replace them (decorating etc.)

They are quite harsh and have an 'officey' feel, so not great for living areas. I think they are fine for kitchens where you normally want good  lighting - but that's on the basis that I see the kitchen as somewhere you cook, so it's a working area.

I would personally rather have a striplight than spotlights in my kitchen, but I'm a big fan of having the kitchen as a kitchen, I think it's different if you have open plan or where the kitchen is a kitchen /finer or used more as living space, where you don't necessary want such harsh, glaring lighting.

The EA completely swerved trying to describe the lounge. I can offer some help:

Cheers for the opinion.

Our Kitchen is very much a working kitchen (we have a seperate diner).

What about bathroom? It's great as far as light is concerned but looks rubbish. The Missus isn't quite so keen and that I guess might put a buyer off.
