How do they live there? There are only two normal rooms! The un-kitchen. The room with a bath in it. Bonkers.

It has a certain style and not really my taste, although I like some of their things, but not the most bizarre by a long way. I'm sure someone will be along soon with some really out there examples that make this one look very normal.

What is an un-kitchen??

firesidechat · 13/11/2015 11:14

Ok the hall is a little odd in places - lots of vintage mirrors, but I assume they like vintage mirrors (so do I). The thing on top of the newel post is a little odd.

I suppose the photos aren't doing it any favours. It just seems like a really, really odd use of space to me.

Tante-rose - un-kitchen = thing that purports to be a kitchen, but in which one couldn't actually cook a meal as it's so tiny and shit. Loads of new-builds have them. Sorry, DP and I call them that, I assumed everyone would know what it meant!

It's a little odd to have a bath in a bedroom but apart from that, I'm not really seeing anything else weird.

firesidechat · 13/11/2015 11:17

They really should have extended the bathroom and put the bath in there and they obviously don't cook much.

howtorebuild · 13/11/2015 11:17

They have a small kitchen, a small bathroom and tiny 3rd bedroom. They made the best they could, they had no room in the bathroom for a bath so put it in a bedroom, yes unusual you can understand why.

wowfudge · 13/11/2015 11:18

Apart from having a bath in the master bedroom, I think it's quite nice. The most bizarre house was that creepy flat in Brighton crammed with lots of cream and white crap and a weird doll. Remember that?!

It looks like it belongs to a single person who never cooks and likes baths more than bedrooms so is a poor use of space for a family, but not the most bizarre by a long shot

IShouldBeSoLurky · 13/11/2015 11:20

Oh, and where is their fridge? Where is their washing machine? I think it's really weird.

Grin wowfudge - yes, I remember that one. Special.

Oh - my fingers are itching to de-clutter and 'dress' the house for photos/viewings. That would be my dream job ignores state of own house

TanteRose · 13/11/2015 11:23

My kitchen is about that size and DH and I cook loads! Grin

howtorebuild · 13/11/2015 11:24

The washing machine must be integrated. They must cook on the wood burning stove.

TheOriginalWinkly · 13/11/2015 11:24

The price is shocking, my aunt left that area about 8 years ago, she sold an absolutely magnificent victorian 4 bed with a massive kitchen diner and beautiful garden for around 250k Shock

duchesse · 13/11/2015 11:25

Appliances are probably behind doors in the kitchen area. The furniture isn't laid out in a way that does the kitchen/diner any favours but it looks like a pretty standard house to me, with maybe some really crap photos on that site. And also massively overpriced.

duchesse · 13/11/2015 11:26

You can see the hob in photo 7 on that RM page! I guess that's where they cook. My guess is that there's more to the kitchen on the right hand side of the bit that extends into the garden.

howtorebuild · 13/11/2015 11:28

Maybe the move is under the stairs, see floor plan. I thought hobs should have space either side.

mumblechum1 · 13/11/2015 11:29

It looks really cold and uncomfortable to me but not the weirdest house I've ever seen.

Can't bear the whole white walls/naff cheapo Ikea look myself

INeedNewShoes · 13/11/2015 11:29

It looks like there are more kitchen units behind that little dividing wall thingy.

I still agree that it's weird though. I would have given over far more of that kitchen/diner to the kitchen!
