Now I like a toilet as much as the next person...

[MothershipG]

...but this house up the road from me has;

2 in the gym at the bottom of the garden
2 on the ground floor
3 on the first floor
1 in the converted loft

A grand total of 8 for a 5 bed house, what's that about???

I actually lived in Hanwell, just off the Uxbridge Road. I remember when you could buy a 5 bed house for £650,000 and feel you were being ripped off! It wasn't that long ago either. Less than 10 years.

Ah, those were the days. We used to have a bin the kids would use as a bonfire from time to time Now it's all clinical kitchens and sexbalows

Ah, the gentrification of Hanwell! We're dead posh in Northfields, don't you know? We have Darch & Duff and butchers, we do! And teeny, tiny terrace houses that sell for half a million!

I think it is for a extended family. Possibly the garden bits could be rented out if they have access without going through the house. It is a bit like the houses used for the apprentice.

Maybe not student then, but a brothel?!

Brothel! I'm too innocent to have thought of that!!! But I see your point flow!

If you're going to have a kitchen like that I think you need to go the whole hog with it and have equally shiny space age fixtures and fittings. I am so bored of that faux-limestone irregular cream floor tiling in every kitchen ever, whether it's in keeping or not. People use it like a neutral and it really isn't.

Leasy sexy brothel ever. I don't know whether there is an interior designer of brothels niche but if there is I bet two of their rules are no faux-limestone flooring and don't cover every bloody ceiling in sight with spotlights.

Wipe-clean makes sense to me!

We have 6 beds, 4 bathrooms and 5 loos.

Love it. I hate people pooing in the toilet I use and it's so nice knowing you are not going to be interrupted mid pop (wee I don't mind but I am having a fecking pop FGS!!)

Cleaner cleans ours.

Seriously, I can't get my head round how expensive houses are in London these days - and admittedly I left it 30 years ago, so I am rather out of touch! But round here, if you had £1,175,000 to spend on a house, you could buy this one, and still have about £900,000 in your pocket.

Which one, Flow?

What is with the weird furniture layout of the first bedroom? who puts a double bed there?

also, rhe downstairs and the upstairs are like two.separate houses decor wise!

Sorry, Mothership, my sentence was really unclear, wasn't it?! What I meant was that round here a house like the one you've posted would cost about £275k...

Under £1,175,000 will get you this or this or THIS, with its own swimming pool!

Not unclear Flow just missing the link and I wanted to see!

My small terrace house could get me this or this up there. Silly, isn't it? But although I would love a bigger house and off street parking I like where I live and I really have no desire to live in Yorkshire, although I'm sure it's lovely...

It is silly! I grew up in Hampstead, in a house that would now be worth about £3.5 million; but my parents sold it for well under £100k in about 1975, and my dad then went bankrupt!

I now live in pleasant 3 bedroomed terrace house in Yorkshire, which is literally worth less than a garage in London - and probably less than a garden shed in Hampstead! Luckily, I have no desire to live there!
