That's the original blank canvas isn't it. Sorry, bland canvas... but yes - it's a property for someone for whom the postcode means more than the property itself, I suspect.joho said:How much? And, how flipping boring?

I see your point, but that's only a little over the minimum recommended size for a human dwelling with 3 bedrooms. With the layout it's probably below that in terms of usable area.bobster2 said:
Well it's in the UK - so of course I'm going to judge it against UK standards![Deleted User] said:
It's a cascade of bad design and being too small. I wouldn't call it spacious - it's only big by UK standards. From there one dubious decision leads to another.bobster2 said:[Deleted User] said:
Look at the stairs, for example. Wasted space to get that double high ceiling and balcony landing.bobster2 said:
I get the ugly point. But what in particular are you getting at about the layout?[Deleted User] said:
Very poor layout too.Sunsaru said:Well - yes - someone could have squeezed in a 4th bedroom. As it is - it's a spacious 3 bedroom house. And all 3 bedrooms are a good size.Yes it's ugly - but if I was after a 3 bed house I'd appreciate the space. My only quibble on layout would be that Bedroom 1 is so big - why not have an en suite?
The market here is full of 1300-1400 sq ft houses (or smaller) with 4 small bedrooms squeezed in. And the typical cramped UK 3 bed semi is often little more than 1000 sq ft with the 3rd bedroom being tiny.
So it's actually refreshing to see one at 1400 sq ft where they haven't tried to cram in as many little rooms as possible.
That's a common problem with British houses. Technically they are fit for N people living there, or 10-15% under, but bad design means that in practice they are much worse.0 -
Do people actually like a bathroom that looks like a 1950s public toilet?joho said:How much? And, how flipping boring?

When the obvious place to park your motor bike is in your entertaining room: https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/128126183#/media?channel=RES_BUY&id=media11&ref=photoCollage
note the little carpet offcuts to protect the carpet from indents, I guess the bike isn't going anywhere.
