Trivial things you hate about your home?

[TellMe67]

small rooms

Wonky ceilings and skirting boards (live in an old house)

That the downstairs loo directly faces the front door. If someone’s been in there and not shut the door when they’ve come out, you walk in the house to be confronted by a toilet. Well, after the dog.

Small rooms. It’s a four bedroomed house with cottage sized rooms.

No cupboard for the hoover

Small living room
Small drive

It's beautiful large Edwardian semi and we rent it but the cream cottagey tiled hall and kitchen floor drives me nuts- (underfloor heating) - it's impossible to keep remotely clean in shitty weather

Sloped ceilings.
Rooms you have to walk through to get to other rooms, feels like a corridor and it's hard to layout furniture.

Narrow hallway

The cellar floor is too high

Hall and living room ceilings too high, need someone over 6ft up a ladder to change light bulbs.

Single glazing at front.

Monstrously expensive to heat due to above.

No porch. So when it's raining and I'm hunting for my keys I get soaked.

Small rooms, poky
Damp

One way Victorian terraced street… sometimes there’s no parking anywhere near my house after 5ish.
The bathroom is downstairs next to my little kitchen (extension)
BUT we have 3 big bedrooms and 2 big “reception” rooms and no means to move for the next couple of years… I’m concentrating on the positives 🙄

I have always disliked the little dark, dank 3rd bedroom on the corner of the house at the back. Always disliked that room in every house we have had! Always gets damp, and it's always cold. Seems to develop mould patches on the ceiling and 2 outside walls too.

Got all the damp and mould off last Spring, and painted it with mould-resistant paint, (on the 2 outside walls and the ceiling,) and have a dehumidifier in there. SO FAR SO GOOD! Hope it continues to do the trick!

Downstairs bathroom

Kitchen is too small. Waiting until building work/ prices/ availability improves before extending. We've been here 16 years and it's a beautiful kitchen (refurbished by us) and tricky to extend, but I've had enough of pokiness!

2 reception rooms, 4 bedrooms- I love my old house, but the kitchen gives me rage.

My stairs are steep and narrow (tread). Would not meet code if built today (Victorian terrace).
Ugly uPVC windows which only open top half - and I can't lock mine so there's a draft. I want to replace them with composite double glazed sash, but it will cost £15k for the 7 windows.

Rented house - single glazed windows. Bathroom has the toilet next to the bath/overhead shower which makes it hard to climb out of.

First world problems but a driveway that has one car infront of the other so always swapping cars about

no utility room

The outside

No shower!

No drive

An L shaped layout at the back with different roof heights that means the guttering round the elbow is 2ft apart, meaning I have a waterfall down my back door in heavy rain.
Roof tiles that are moss-magnets.
Narrow Victorian drains.
A hole in the lino of the kitchen floor (thanks, DS3) that's getting bigger.
A garden excavated by The Dog.
On street parking and neighbours with multiple vehicles who all get home from work before me.

Tiered garden

Silk weavers cottage - single brick so no cavity and it’s freezing in winter.
There isn’t a single wall, floor or ceiling that’s true in the whole house.
Tiny garden.
No cupboard for the hoover or ironing board.
Small tall building and rendered so an external paint job (which it desperately needs) costs double because of the scaffolding requirements.

That there's no 2nd bedroom
