to look at bedroom 2 and think WTF?

[EmmaGrundyForPM]

I mean, why?

Oh I don't know, once hubby and I are done crawling around the dining room table on our knees there's nothing we like more than to retire for the night and listen to each other on the loo whilst trying to fall asleep.

Bedroom four - with no windows -surely that’s just a cupboard.

The really narrow family room is what struck me. That and them having two completely different dining suites. I can't work out where the second one is.

Totally missed the loo in the bedroom but it would be easy to put up a walk and box it off as an en suite.

Picture 6 is, I think, a skittle alley.

I think I could cope with the loo in the bathroom because I would just forbid its use. It’s the room with nowhere to put sofas except in front of open archways behind you; plus those floor-to-ceiling windows it would be too expensive to curtain – impossible to relax without worrying a murderer is sneaking up behind you or from outside; it’s a Ruth-Ware-novel house.

The wall fell down

It’s the three small ladies in picture 6 that I’m a bit perplexed by

@Purplerayhan

Mean spirited OP. I'm sure we could all find something to bitch at in your house photos if you put the up

I don't think expressing surprise at having a toilet in a bedroom is bitching. I haven't criticised any other aspect of the house, merely wondered at why someone would stick a toilet inside a bedroom.

There's loads in my house to criticise but having an arrangement where the en suite is without any walls isn't one of them.

They clearly struggle to heat it - note the fake B and Q log burner in the offending bedroom (I have a fake log burner in my bedroom 2 too but no bath and toilet)

The pine beds caught my attention as did the oversized and out of place dining furniture. Weird layout, perhaps they made the best use of space but it confused me.

Gosh it’s hideous in so many ways.

The thing, which strikes me the most is paying a million for a house, which is less than a meter from the road, on a bend and has a very small plot for the house size.

To me, it looks as though the people have done it up with more money than sense. Then realised they have overspent and run out of money as the upper floors are very ordinary in comparison to the wow of the downstairs or the the gardens.... albeit downstairs has a very strange configuration. What surely should be the front door has a sofa in front of it in the long, family room.

It's an absolute monstrosity, totally over developed and much too big for the site. How on earth did they get planning permission to do that?

It hurts my eyes. The house doesn't suit the location, rather like insisting on having a Nordic National Romantic house in Spain or Italy.

The exterior is a mishmash of "I want a pergola, a water feature, a ha ha, biscuit cutter flower beds, an in and out drive, and a palm tree here and a hedge there and this, that, and more over there, there and there".

The furniture looks to have been bought by committee - Jane, you buy beds and cupboards; Anne, you choose sofas and chairs; and Victoria will fit out the kitchen - with none of them conferring with the others.

It's a no from me.

Costs a £1mi for a terrace round here! So much space but so ugly!

I don't mind the mad loo in the bedroom but the proportions are all off. That sitting room in an atrium style would feel like sitting in a tube. And the massive cinema room when the bedrooms are crammed in. No.

I'd like to have a serious chat with the junior architect that mangled this property.

We stayed in an hotel in Rome with a similar set-up to bedroom 2. I think I would replace the screen with a glass brick wall or opaque glass wall, but it has a very “boutique hotel” feel, and wouldn’t work for everyone...

Going a bit off topic but is there a name for the wooden thing they've used to screen the bath and bog from the rest of the bedroom? I'm looking for one to hide some mess, not a bed-bog-bath set up I hasten to add.

Totally missed the loo in the bedroom but it would be easy to put up a walk and box it off as an en suite.

That's my point - it is an easy and cheap thing to put in a stud wall, so why didn't they? If they wanted the bathtub in the bedroom they could have done that and just boxed in the loo and sink. I'm just baffled as to why you wouldn't do that.

I think some of it is stunning! And wow to the price, you do get a lot for your money in Ipswich

Apart from the toilet and bath in the bedroom I quite like it.

Think I may have been stuck in my tiny place for too long.

There is a reason Ipswich is cheap.

What about bedroom one? The bed is too big for the space and looks as if it blocks off some of the cupboards and a doorway?

@MsJackieWeaver

It’s called a room divider. They can look quite nice, if not in this scenario!

The whole house is a bit naff tbh.
Although I do like the light coming through that window in the double height living room.
