To ask how big is your house?

[FGSholdthedoor]

I'm grateful for what we have but I feel like I'm suffocating day to day.

We have a terraced house consisting of a small kitchen and lounge downstairs, a master bedroom, box room and tiny bathroom upstairs.
There's me, OH, DS (3), newborn DS and DDog.

There's no porch or wide hallways to have extra storage.
You walk straight into the kitchen where all the post and tat gets dumped on the nearest worktop or the table, no room for coat rack so jackets get dumped on the kitchen chairs, lounge has huge toybox as there's no room to keep DSs toys in his bedroom as its so small and now I'm having to figure out how to fit 2 DCs in there. The car seat for DS2 is in the lounge also as there's nowhere else to keep it.

There's clutter everywhere you turn despite trying to keep on top of it and it's a constant cycle of trying to cut down on stuff etc.
It makes me feel really down and I struggle to clear my head, it makes the days with the kids really difficult as sometimes you have to walk over stuff or trip over a bouncer or toy to get to the other side of the room.
I'm dreaming of a nice 3 bedroom house with an open plan kitchen and diner and a nice big lounge, oh and a utility room

AIBU to ask how big is your house and if you're happy with it?

Similar to yours I think.
Downstairs: tiny porch/hall thing which is too small for anything.
Into a largish through living room/dining room/study with the stairs. Then into the extension with a tiny kitchen, a small hall and the okish bathroom.
Two ok size bedrooms upstairs and a teeny hall upstairs (reduced it significantly to increase second bedroom).
In all honesty, when stuff starts to pile up I feel very claustrophobic. Any mess makes a big difference.
We try to go up re storage eg shelving etc. Our desk is a dumping ground so I've got a lever arch folder to see if adding the paper we need to keep/deal with into that helps keep on top of things. Wish me luck!
We have a little bowl for misc pocket junk which actually works really well.
Our coats get hung on the dining room chairs or banister which I hate but it's a loosing battle. Do you have a corner somewhere for a coat stand or space to add three hooks to a wall?
Our car seat got kept in the wardrobe!

Tiny downstairs with the front door opening into a tiny living and the back door opening into an OK sized kitchen/diner. We live in a row of small victorian workers cottages and we're lucky to have a bathroom and a tiny bedroom over the mid-terrace arch. There are two OK sized double bedrooms over the kitchen and living room, and we've also gone into the loft where my youngest has his room. It's not a 'proper' room due to limited headroom but it works for him. There are 5 of us: me and my partner, my 2 primary aged boys, and my 16 year old step-down. I have serious porch and hallway envy!

Stop dumping things.
Put a few hooks on the wall by the front door.
Deal with post immediately or get a rack for it.
Get rid of all stuff you don't use.
I know that you are busy and have enough on your plate.
Hugs.

Too big and would love to downsize. Large breakfast kitchen, utility room, dining room, living room, conservatory, guest loo, large porch/utility on the back and integral double garage down stairs. Four big bedrooms, en suite shower to master, large family bathroom, study upstairs. Just the two of us - both retired. Dreaming of something half the size if I could ever crowbar DH out of here.

Have you got a goat? I can recommend introducing a series of farm animals to your house, and then removing them for a better appreciation of space. Far cheaper than moving, but potentially more cow dung.

I live in one room with use of kitchen/bathroom/ living room (most of the time).
Have never owned a house and will never be able to.
I do worry about what will happen when I get old(er).

Old cottage, hall, large downstairs bathroom, sitting room with inglenook, dining room, kitchen/diner, conservatory, upstairs two double bedrooms (one en-suite), one small 'walk through' one, my dressing room. Spent too much improving it, but still got the dreaded mice now and again - think it's a bad year for them!!! Just so grateful to have a roof over our heads.

Two bed flat and 4 of us. Renting. Too small really, one humongous room that is a kitchen, dining room and lounge and then 2 small doubles. No garden.

Love it though as we were in a damp, cold house for 7 years before here.

I am constantly having to put things away/move stuff around. It does mean that we don't have a lot of unwanted stuff around as it just has nowhere to go

I dream of a bigger place but I guess that means more to clean and maintain.

Absolutely tiny. Tiny kitchen (couldn't have a tumble or freezer or anything), very small living room which has to host the a space saver dining table, a bathroom where the door doesn't open fully so had to be reversed into our hallway.
Hallway is a square basically, stairs to left, bathroom door to the right kitchen ahead.
12 very steep stairs to upstairs leads to a 1m by 1m hallway with '3' bedrooms. Only one of which can fit a wardrobe in.

It's fucking tiny!

We've an enormous garden and a drive for 4 cars. But no living space. Can't wait till we have the cash to extend.

Started off with two kids in a 70m2 victorian nightmare with no storage, no loft, no garden or garage. Yep, that was a nightmare.

Bought an ex council semi with garden and loft, then extended. Now we can escape eachother ;) but I reckon 80% of having a liveable space is dependent on learning how to throw things away. Thing comes into house, no-one can find a home for it/ it's not used for 1 month...out it goes.

Easier to do that when you've got more space, though, as it doesn't feel like such an impossible rubiks cube puzzle.

We have a two bed mid terrace. Originally front door straight into living room, then kitchen to the rear. Tiny bathroom and two double bedrooms upstairs. Positively no storage anywhere. My husband built small porch at front and dining room at back plus insulated shed in garden which we use for storage. Only one DC so okay, but would love spare room.

Very small 3 bed semi with DP, me and 2 young DC.
We don't have a garage, our storage space is very minimal. DD is in a cot and I'm not sure how we will fit a bed in her box room but will have to manage somehow!
Downstairs we have a lounge and a small kitchen diner. Drives me insane. It's the house I bought on my own before DC but for many reasons we can't buy together so looks like we're stuck as I can't get a mortgage at all now that the rules have changed and I have dependents.

3 bed terrace. 4 of us. Small but easier to clean than my last house!

Lounge, kitchen, large dining room, downstairs wc, three double bedrooms, office (4th bedroom), family bathroom, garage, large garden. There is me, my partner, ds (16) who is with us half the week, dsd (18) and dss (20) who visit for crying periods of time. I love it, it is a lot more spacious than any of my other houses.

Not bloody big enough. Currently in the cottage on my parents farm in oz and it's palatial compared to most UK homes 😑

We have a 25 year old 3/4 bed. Whilst we have 4 rooms downstairs and 3 double bedrooms upstairs we are over run with stuff.

When the DC were small it worked fine now with 4 adults in the house plus overnight visitors it's too small

Downstairs: Porch, hall, sitting room, kitchen, dining room, office, wet room, loo
Upstairs: 4 bedrooms + bathrooms

Me and DS. I'd like to say it's massively too big but I love it

similar to yours. all open plan lounge kitchen downstairs and 2 bedsrooms and bathroom upstairs. DH and I, DS (4) and 3 cats. It's not too cluttered as I'm brutal at getting rid and it's chocka with storage - no wall space is unused! We have toy cupboards where the toys aren't visible when inside which helps. Wall shelves with storage boxes on, understairs cupboard is rammed, coat hooks with a few coats each and the rest in the wardrobe upstairs. Under bed boxes under the sofas etc. I also work from home making stuff so have to squirrel all my work bits and bobs away artfully! It's a battle but do-able. I would love bigger but I value my location more so don't want to move!

varying periods of time not crying! Also have a utility room and large porch area.

Ours is exactly the right size and I bloody love it.
Not too big - pointless cleaning rooms no one goes in, and the fact I hate hosting means I don't want too many spare bedrooms.
Not too small - don't like claustrophobic feeling.
4 large bedrooms, (me & dh, 1 each for dc, 1 guest) massive kitchen breakfast room, lounge, study, play room, utility, garage, 3 bath, large garden.
Love it, I'd happily live here forever.

Pretty big. Oversized 4 bedroom with extra rooms downstairs. It's still full of crap. You fill what you have and despite constantly clearing stuff out/giving to charity I literally cannot keep on top of it. DD's current output of 50 drawings a day doesn't help.

2 bed terrace, two living rooms and kitchen downstairs, a converted cellar, two bedrooms upstairs and a big bathroom plus lots of storage space in the loft. It's pretty much perfect for DP, DD and I, we just have too much stuff for the space. Only extra I would really like is a downstairs loo or an ensuite, having only one loo stresses me out! We are going to be buying our own place in the near future and I am already worrying how we will fit everything in as we probably can't afford something as big as this in the area we want to move to.

I live in a massive Victorian terraced house with 3.5 floors and 4/5 bedrooms. It is great that we all have loads of space but no real outside storage and it’s on street parking. I was in a tiny bungalow before and it’s less stressful by miles noise wise, but the bills are HUGE and in cold weather it’s get dressed as soon as you are out of bed/ merino wool jumpers!!

2000sq ft 4 bedrooms. Does not feel big wjjem we have our 4 adult / teen offspring here over Xmas

We have a 3 bed Victorian semi detached. Large hallway. Living room, middle room. Large kitchen diner. 3 double bedrooms, family bathroom plus cellars including utility room, workshop and gym. Planning on also going up in to the attic to make a fourth bedroom with ensuite. Just the two of us with two cats and one guinea pig at the moment.
