That astroturf would have to go pronto. I realise that there are circumstances where it is appropriate, but personally I can't abide the stuff.

Are the bottom opening windows in the loft bedrooms BC allowable?ProDave said:
Pic 1, the steps at the change of level look like an accident waiting to happen. In the dark or half cut I can see someone forgetting the bottom step does not go the full width and getting a nasty surprise stepping down from the end. I am surprised building control passed that.AFF8879 said:Interesting choice of photo to lead with. The builder who refurbished it maybe?!

Yes, bedrooms are required to have means of escape in case of fire, and roof windows can be top hung.0 -
My first reaction to that deep work-top was that he looked uncomfortable leaning over like that (potential back-ache) but I realise it's not a bad way of having things on the work-top, toasters and other gadgets, and still leaving plenty of clear work-top to use.AFF8879 said:Interesting choice of photo to lead with.

The steps may look nice but an accident waiting to happen? Quite steep and even if the tiles are supposed to be non-slip they aren't always that good.

https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/96610015There is a step in the wall by the range cooker - It is either a case of pull the units forward and have a deeper worktop, or have the cooker sticking out. The latter would look odd.I have a similar sort of step in my kitchen. It hurt having to cut a 900mm wide worktop down, but it was the only way to have a 600mm surface where it was needed (could have cut a filler strip, but the pattern would never match).

Great floor plan here.Would hate to have the new owners heating bill. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/79851630#/?channel=RES_BUYCan you call it a bungalow the it has a ground room with windows and a radiator? I almost mistook it for a park home.

Wow, the second one is actually a pretty nicely designed house. I'm shocked, a decently designed dwelling in the UK!markin said:
If external front carports were legal it could be an excellent house.
Pricing on both is insane though, especially the one in Thornton.0 -

However, I think I would find the cooker with no extraction above, or anywhere else I can see, more of an offput. 0 -

It's amazing how those with a can-do attitude and willingness to 'pitch in and work' get all the luck, isn't it?
