tell me about your home

[MrsBucketxx]

As I'm feeling a bit jealous that everyone seems to live in bigger homes than me tell me about yours

This is mine here

I would love something with more space but I can only dream at the moment.

Infact I would say most of my freinds houses are smaller.

This feels tiny because I gad to downsize massively from our last home, a home I loved but the neighbours where a nightmare, with threats of violence etc. It wasn't like I had any other choice but to leave.

Im annoyed with myself that we took a low offer to get out and could only afford something of this size. Thats not the case now but we can't move yet, ill get there in the end.

1930's, 5 bed. Living Room, Play Room, Dining Room, Kitchen and Utility Room. Two bathrooms and sep. toilet downstairs. Garage and 2 outbuilding. Sort of middle sized garden and a drive. It is lovely and I would rather stick pins in my eyes than live in a new house.

It is also by the Sea. Do you feel better now? No, probably not.

We have a 6 bedroom, 5 bathroom detached house with utility room, study, conservatory and games room. 150m from a large park with lake and resident swans.

I still can't believe we live here, tbh.

This thread is hilarious, I just wonder how many of these homes actually exist

Dreams :o Mine is true. I never lie

Mine is as I described. Promise to the baby cheeses.

I will only be a true believer if you post series of photos with yourselves in them [grins]

Beer, I have loaded up my (£2.99 from £2.99land) sledge with DIY stuff and am on my way round to fix wall.

Part of the problem is that in UK, property values are based on number of rooms not square footage. Hence lots of tiny rooms and inadequate closet space etc. in new builds. It is a really bizarre system!

We have a lovely three bed/ three bath. Room sizes are not huge, but not too small. It is an 18th century farmhouse on a hill, so great views, but lots of cold wind as well.

Could you add a conservatory on to become a playroom?

My first home (away from parents) was a two bed, tiny council flat. Nasty area, hideous neighbours, but I was so proud of it and loved it.

I remember meeting a friend in the library once and taking her back there. Not sure she had been in a council place before because she looked seriously unimpressed.

I know what you mean, HDee. My first flat without roommates was at university. It was a small one bed, but with nice views of the river. Best of all, it was right next door to my department, so I could roll out of bed and attend classes.

I still think of it with affection. It might have seemed grotty and cramped to some, but for me it was the best place ever!

can't add a conservatory cause of stupid covenants plus id have no garden left.

dreams im not lying im really not.

My first flat was the grottiest two-bed above a cash machine on a main road - we had to step round the drunks in the doorway to get in, the window in my bedroom wouldn't shut, it had mice and a chain-smoking flatmate - but I loved it!

Being in the middle of a major house move, I am obsessed with where and how other people live - nothing to do with envy, just straightforward nosiness .

4 bed stone Victorian semi.

It's a beautiful old house but needs a lot of tlc which we are struggling to afford at the moment. Lovely big square rooms. Kitchen is a bit dark and needs replacing but has room for a table. I love my pantry though! It's freezing at times. With a bit of money to spend on it (new kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, curtains, roof etc etc) it could be stunning.

We may need to move this year and will not be able to afford anything half as good and I feel

Drastically downsized to a 2 bed detached bungalow with large conservatory and good sized rooms other than a tiny kitchen. Lovely area. Warm & cosy but still needs a bit of work. Not sure if we'll stay or move on when the work is done.

Mine a 2-bed 2 reception semi bungalow. Just me in it. Infact my 4 other neighbours are single occupants, built in 1961. In a cul-de-sac. Don't drive, so convenient shops round the corner, Drs, chemist, post office. Bus stops with 4 buses an hour. Canal at back of garden trees and large field at other side of river. Location excellent. Beds both at back of property.

dreams you can google mine if you want to on the web as it is a B&B.

Do you have a link?

I will PM you as otherwise it is advertising.
