What annoys you about your own home?

How small it is.

No garden.
Four flights of stairs to get to our flat (that’s 70 very steep stairs and last flight is spiral so it was a bastard to get the furniture into when we moved in).
Through living room/kitchen.
Tiny bathroom in the eaves so can’t have a shower over the bath.

Oh and no gas to the property, so storage heaters that don’t work and cost a fortune to run.
I bought oil filled radiators which keep us toasty and cost half what I was paying for the storage heaters.

We live in the country, so its almost always muddy outside. We have a small porch then straight into the living room as there is no hall, so we are all constantly trailing mud into the house. There is hardly any storage so the house always looks cluttered. Also I've never liked the back garden, its always a mess because we don't know what to so with it.

It's too small, badly designed, the garden is rubbish in every way and the living room is a walk through room.
But it has a lot of good points too and I'm grateful for it.

The lack of pressure on the shower, washing my hair is such a chore.
Lack of worktop and storage space in the kitchen, I still have several boxes unpacked in the garage from when we moved here because there’s next to no cupboards.

How long it takes to get planning permission and as it's a listed building we need listed building consent for everything. Single glazed windows that condensate constantly. I bloody love our house and sometimes I bloody hate how much work goes into it. I grew up in a tudor cottage, moved into a victorian house and then moved into DH's 1980s house for a bit before we bought this farm and his place was so much more simple! The windows didn't need painting every year and they didn't condensate or fall out! There were no gaps between beams or draughts under doors!

Lack of sockets in several rooms. It means messy extension leads everywhere which annoys me.

Only one toilet.
Third bedroom is a single.

No upstairs. Hate living in a bungalow

I'm imagining all your houses now, looking sad and saying "..but...I...Love ...you....I felt really happy when you moved in..."

Just blew a kiss at a wall and said sorry

Our garden used to be quite private but we are now surrounded by houses with hideous boxy loft conversions with huge windows. It’s like living in a goldfish bowl.

That I can’t keep it clean and tidy

I love my house but live in a perpetual state of anxiety that I might have to move out one day.

Why do you always post random questions in the exact same style and then never comment again? Are you a journalist looking for stories/information?

It's creepy

Our stairs are halfway down our hall which I like as they dont go straight up from the front door, but this means they turn right round like a sort of spiral staircase. I fell down them first week here as each stair tapers into the centre. I come down them very carefully now!

It's an old drafty farmhouse insulated with thin polystyrene and fucking newspaper 😂

Ripping it apart room by room and putting back together properly.

It's too new, only 50 years instead of 100+.

I prefer old houses.

Too small...constant bodge jobs from the previous owners..

The tiny bathroom. I took the bath out and have a lovely big shower as otherwise you had to turn sideways to squeeze by the sink. I rarely bathed before but there are just some occasions when it would be nice. Other than that however my little house is perfect for me and I love it.

It's on a main road and you have to close the windows if it rains when you watch TV otherwise you can't hear it.

The lack of storage, the fact that the plumbing is so crap we have to pull the washing machine out when we use it to make sure it doesn’t back up and flood the flat below... the fact that we didn’t have a reliable boiler for THREE YEARS. The bathroom has no windows, the windows in the bedroom are so drafty... It’s a really nice flat though!

Creaky floors it never gets warm the neighbours jungle of a garden that grows over my fence an the huge tree that blocks all the sun an covers my garden in hundreds of leafs apart from that I love my house.

Horrible situation. But that is for Relationship board !

Where do I start?
