I'd love a utility room. It would be great to have my Lakeland heated airer hidden away from view.

I'd also love a bidet. My bathroom, alas, simply isn't big enough. I'm British, but it does surprise me a bit that they've never really taken off in this country. I'd love to have a freshen up down below, just whenever.

Anyway, what about you?

A massive walk in wardrobe, leading to a huge ensuite bathroom with 'his and hers' sinks.

A second bedroom, a driveway, a separate dining room, a bigger garden, a bigger kitchen, a second bathroom, a utility room!

I'd love an upstairs toilet and a big enough front hall for a coat and shoe cupboard.

A sauna. The Fins have a good thing going.

AuntieBsBramble · 21/02/2025 17:53

In this order: utility room; garden that can be accessed from outside house; second toilet; spare bedroom/ hobby room; garage; snug; view; swimming pool!

I live in a flat, so a balcony?

But the one thing I really wish I could change about it, is to make my daughter's bedroom a double like mine. I was determined to by a flat with two double rooms, so that she will be comfortable here into adulthood if she chooses, but everything else about the flat was so good that it was the one thing I compromised on......

AuntieBsBramble · 21/02/2025 17:53

Oh yes sauna too please

Jennifershuffles · 21/02/2025 17:54

I'd like fairies. The type that put things away, cook dinner etc.

I stayed in a place in Japan that had a control panel for the bath. You could set it to fill, choose your temperature, and it just automatically stopped when full and played a little tune to let you know. And it kept the water hot the whole time you were in it. I would love that!

A downstairs study would make my house perfect and an outdoor kitchen would make it more than perfect

easylemonsqueezy · 21/02/2025 17:56

Lakeland heaters are crap
Bulky and inefficient
I'd like a cleaner but I can't afford one or trust one going by MN's posts

timetodecide2345 · 21/02/2025 17:56

Downstairs loo. I've got lots of rooms but no second toilet. Oh the crime of it!!

Ankhmo · 21/02/2025 17:57

A mile of land in every direction with no cunt on it.

PoopingAllTheWay2 · 21/02/2025 17:57

A utility room

A bath

An extra Toilet

An Extra Bedroom

Proper storage

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 21/02/2025 17:57

Expensive real wood flooring throughout! A utility room.

Ohwhatfuckeryitistoride · 21/02/2025 17:59

Library/music room for dh. Craft room for me. But on planet earth, a utility room would solve many problems.

Ahsheeit · 21/02/2025 18:01

A little en suite shower room with my own, personal toilet.
Room for a dishwasher.

thenightsky · 21/02/2025 18:01

A bigger garden that faces South.
A porch on the front so I don't get soaked when its raining and I'm trying to wipe down a wet dog.
A bidet.

candlerhyme · 21/02/2025 18:01

A proper walk in larder.

Unicorn34 · 21/02/2025 18:01

A downstairs cloakroom, some storage, an understair cupboard and an office in the garden with electricity (and peace!).

LindorDoubleChoc · 21/02/2025 18:02

I'm with you OP! I desperately want a utility room with nice deep butler sink, loads of cupboard space and a door out to the back garden. I would have the boiler in there and a wooden sheila maid clothes airer hanging on the ceiling.

I'd also like at least one more toilet. We can manage ok with one bathroom, but one indoor toilet is a pita. We have an outdoor one (Victorian terrace) and use it surprisingly often!

PaintDecisions · 21/02/2025 18:05

Utility.
Downstairs loo.
Conservatory.
Bay window on the living room and bedroom above.
Floor to ceiling window in spare room.
Boarded out loft (trusses won't allow for this) with that velux window that opens into a balcony.

I like mine and rarely even switch it on. But if I do switch it on, it works a million times better with a cover over it, to trap the heat. Otherwise you're right, it is inefficient.

An upstairs bathroom.

PregnantForNow · 21/02/2025 18:07

A conservatory. We could put the computer in it and turn the upstairs room with the desk into a spare bedroom. Id put a pair of recliners in the conservatory too for relaxing and so could watch films there too! Fairy lights all strung up round the inside.

If I'm allowed two then I would also want to convert my garage. Turn that into a proper office, exchange computer in conservatory for a TV, put computer in garage. 2 roomed garage conversion ideally, the front room would be larger and contain a flat screen and a pool table and darts (on opposite walls). I dream about this a lot!!!!
