Small house for a family

[sillygoose111]

Went to look at a house today as we are looking for something bigger to rent (currently in one bed). It’s a nice location, close to school for my soon to be 4 year old and it’s a cute little house. I’m just wondering if it’s not too small and if I’m not being unreasonable thinking we can do it?

Ideally we would love to buy in couple of years or so, so it would be temporary. I know it on us to decide and know what’s best for us but I just want so me opinions 😅

It's not about spare rooms etc, but I asked if there's a loft because if they wanted to keep stuff for a hypothetical baby no 2 e.g. side sleeper cot, clothes, bouncer etc there is very little space to keep it. Ditto suitcases, Christmas decorations.

It is narrow, but it's a step up from you current place and you have a plan to buy then it could be perfect .
Is it a back to back, it looks like the type that would be I the end of a terrace with to others b2bs joining it so potentially noisy?

I have a friend who makes her own Christmas decorations each year because she says she doesn't have room to store any. She and the kids make them out of cardboard and spray paint with gold glitter paint and dry orange slices and hunt for pine cones and all that. They have fairy lights up all year long and just put them on the tree at Christmas. She buys second-hand suitcases for going on holiday and donates them to the local family refuge at the end of the summer, together with all their summer clothes. She is very, very good at not accumulating stuff though - she was really into "toy libraries" when her kids were young and asks parents for £2 rather than presents for her kids' birthday parties. She even puts on the invite "Sorry we have a small house and so can't accommodate presents, so a card or £2 would be lovely, thank you" apparently 😂.

Small is relative. We lived in a 2 bed flat for years with 3 children so I do understand.

What would concern me is the width. I’d struggle with that I think. But if you are renting, it would be easy enough to move after a year if it’s really hard to live with.
