To think nine bedrooms is a bit much?

[houseymcmousey]

Someone I work with has just bought a nine bedroom house for two adults and one child to live in. They aren't having more children or having anyone else move in.

Just out of interest, how big would you go if money was no object? For me I think 5 or 6 just to have a couple of guest rooms but nine seems bonkers to me. It has enough space downstairs for a playroom and office so they aren't using them for that. Just thinking of all the bed linen makes me feel faint.

Two decent sized bedrooms with good lighting immediately to set up as proper offices as WFH will be with us for a while yet.

Are all bedrooms en suite? So maybe extra bathrooms/shower rooms. And, personally, I'd like a large walk in wardrobe/dressing room.

No - sadly I didn't win the lottery.. 🌹

One each for me and dh, one each for the children, an office each for us, a library- no, make that two libraries, and a fish room: that's your 9 rooms right there.

My mil as 5 bedrooms with two large reception rooms and conservatory, plus an annex with two more bedrooms and a bathroom. Theres a large double garage and outbuildings. It's just her living there now. She often complains she does not have enough space.

You cant just turn the heating off in the rooms you dont use either. They need regular hearing and ventilation or things must (at least in the uk).

We just turn the heating off on rooms we don't use. No thermostat so it's either on, or off. Doesn't cause us any issues
