What kind of house do you live in?

[Aldilogue]

I love thinking about how different we all are and was wondering what your home are like.
I’ll start... I’m in a regional town on the coast in NSW. My house is two storey, 4 bedroom lounge, dining, kitchen all beds upstairs.
Built about 30 years ago so cosmetically dated but extremely comfortable. We rent because we missed the housing boom.

I'm in a four bedroom brick veneer free standing house in Canberra. Great views over the city but as it was built in the 70's it's always either hot or cold.
@Cluckyandconfused I'm guessing you're in a Queenslander?

@weenurse I think the box room used to be the bathroom, it's now kind of in an extension bit tacked on to the back of a house (to make it a 3 bed rather than 2 I guess). The box room is now a nursery, and one of the bedrooms is a playroom

I live in a Victorian cottage in the east of England. It was two cottages, they were two up two downs and were made into one property in the 80's. Built around 1820 if not just before, and inhabited by workers from the silk mill in the village. Given the fact it is now one property we have four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Still reasonably quaint and cottagey, but spacious.

Based on dates, this place isn't Victorian, but that is how everyone describes them!

We are in a big town in Yorkshire. Detached 3 bed right on the edge of farmland. We've owned it since it was built. Would like to move but only if I could pick up this house and take it with me 😂. Perfect size for us including a big dining kitchen which makes me so happy after growing up in tiny council houses with little galley type kitchens.

@Aldilogue similar to a barge yes.

With Victorian and 1980's additions

The 1980's bit is a bit shit. And is sadly still covered by the listing!

Ahh Fruity sounds gorgeous!

I live in London suburb Edwardian house. It's a terrace with living room and bay window, kitchen and a utility room with a dining room cum kids young adults room at the back, tiny lean too conservatory. My dcs each have a bedroom on the same floor as a bathroom, then past the guineas up a few steps to mine and Dh master bedroom, then more steps to Dh studio/study (he works from home mostly) second bathroom and spare room which is currently full of junk that I'm meant to be sorting. We have a garden but it's teeny.

It's on a street with many similar houses and a few modern ones built after bombs dropped on them in the war. I have a book that explains where bombs dropped in the entire council area!

City centre terrace. 2 bedrooms, I have an en-suite. Living room, kitchen, dining room and downstairs shower room. Huge garden though which is why I bought the house.

About to have the kitchen extended, bathrooms redone, new kitchen, new flooring and the gardens landscaped. Excited to finally get rid of the cheap laminate shite the previous owners put it, but dreading the living through it!

4 bed detached north of London on a private road. Not keen on our area and will probably sell very soon. The house was built in1999, but we’ve extended it to have a playroom, laundry and moved the downstairs toilet. It’s an open plan kitchen, diner, playroom. Solid oak floors, on its third kitchen.

2 bed ex council semi on corner plot

3 storey house on edge on Hampstead Heath in North London.
Very suburban but not nearly close enough for my liking to shops😉

I live in a town that's pretty quiet not much here but close to 2 big city's. 5 bedroom detatched house. Living room, kitchen, dining room, conservatory and a garage (mid bar conversion)

I hate my house.... I have ocd and 3 young kids. Everything is mostly white and glass - looks so much like a show home and a nightmare to clean
Plus DP picked the downstairs floor as I was busy when he did and he wanted files to get underfloor heating....- I didn't agree on it as it's NOT kid friendly, white marble tiles??? Men are just clearly thick as f@!* !!!! But hey I now laugh in his face when he crys how much he paid an moans it scratches with the kids running around in it with toy cars etc and it's not been down a year

What idiot buys that kind of floor with 3 toddlers ????? Dickhead

We live in a double fronted brick Georgian. Four bedrooms up, traditional center staircase. A bit like the Home Alone house but much smaller. We just had our basement renovated so our laundry room is now a laundry/fitness room and we have a family room. I hope we are here until all the kids go to college, at least.

Victorian mid terrace, 2 bedrooms, one bathroom, tiny garden (ie concrete yard). 20 min walk from York city centre.

It's in a bit of a state decoratively, but it's our first house and I love it because it's ours :)

1960s semi detached bungalow in a market town in the NW. We’ve added two bedrooms, one with a bathroom, and an office, upstairs. We have a large garden which wraps around 3 sides, and a paddock behind (no horses though!). The river is about 50 yards from the bottom of the land, with uninterrupted views to the fells behind.

I love the position of the house, but I miss my old house, which was Victorian.

Two bed, two bathroom apartment in Sydney's North Shore. On a busy road but is very convenient for transport and shops.

Rented, as I haven't plucked up the courage to sell my first born yet (joking. I don't have any children ).

3 bed terrace close but not too close to a city. Far too small, no storage and no front garden. Every wall is magnolia. Rented, when we buy there won't be a single bit of magnolia!

A fugly 1950s pebble-dashed 3 bed semi in an ex-mining town in Northern England.

A church conversion in Gloucestershire - the church is 1800s, the conversion happened about 15 years ago. Huge and draughty with lots of stained glass and no, we don't have a graveyard

I live in a city, in a five bedroom 1960s link terrace.

We've just bought a house in Perth. Its a 15 year old four bedroom bungalow, five minutes from the beach, and it has a pool! I am beyond excited about it!

One bed council flat on a notorious estate. I like it though and I was homeless before this so at least it's going in the right direction.

A house made of two tiny 1900 cottages knocked together, in rural Hampshire. I can watch the sun come up while drinking coffee at the kitchen table. Lovely neighbours and a big garden.

We are renting a stucco house with three bedrooms in the California Bay Area. It's nice but a bit dated, with a weird split-level layout. You walk up a full flight of stairs outside to get to the front door. You walk into an open plan living/kitchen on the main floor, with den and laundry a half floor down, and bedrooms a half floor up. It's comfortable and works for our family for now. It was built in the 1990s, after many of the homes in this neighborhood were destroyed by fire. From our neighborhood you can see the sunset over San Francisco across the bay, which is really beautiful.

ensuite room in a womens refuge for the last 2.4 years. Moving to private rented 2 bed flat around next christmas.
