what DON'T you like about your house?

[wotamidoin]

mines to dark..it depresses me

i hate the flooring that the HA put in the kitchen, its horrible and a nightmare to keep clean

The walls are crap and the garden too small!

umm the
LOCATION
the
CARPET
the
BATHROOM
the
GARDEN!!!

If I could go back I would NOT have bought it but hell, that's life!!!!

garden too small

open plan downstairs,would like another room

futility room tiny

bathroom too small

I am an ungrateful bint

Nothing .

Have only been here a year and I still love it all

The road outside is fairly busy. We're quite near a council depot (not within smelling/hearing distance) and so get a lot of bin lorries coming down the road.
Back garden quite small (though manageable in estate agent speak).
Didn't get into the local primary because about 100m too far away
Apart from that, love it. Lived here from birth until I went to Uni and then bought it from my mother 2 years ago.

basement rooms
stairs to nowhere
paying sil rent
living next to mil
being in the wrong crountry
and an open plan living dining kithchen

ihate this house

artex
lack of security on doors
badly done decor
wood panelling in kitchen

fixtures
porch
UPVC windows
clay soil
waterlogged garden
shower
tiling

ooohhh I paint a beautiful picture

and i want a bath not a shower room

The kitchen is a big square room with the units all along one wall so you spend all your time walking backwards and forwards along a line of units.
Oh, and, like a typical farmhouse, you come in the back door - past the downstairs loo and the utility room.

Ever thought of being an estate agent LLPJ?

Would be fab if everything was finshed. DH has a habit of leaving the last few bits to finish and starts on the next room

Huge garden which the children love though so i shouldnt complain.

LOL

Small courtyard garden with no grass
3rd bedroom is tiny and can't extend dd's Ikea bed to its full length

We have horrible neighbours either side of us.

ensuite bathroom too pokey and depressing.

Kitchen too small
On the positive side, I can walk into town and to the train station and I have 6 nice neighbours!

its next to an alleyway (gap with path between mine and the neighbour!) where the lovely locals do there drug deals
my kitchen is too small

my garden is too big for my two bed house

its lacking a few bedrooms

it isnt self cleaning

council have put new health and saftey non slip vinyl in bathroom which i nearly broke me kneck on getting out of the bath

blah,blah blah

The fact it is such a mess and full of clutter

Oh, and I have one too few bedrooms

And the boiler is older than me

Oh I think about this constantly!!

Our house is pretty ugly from the outside but inside is fab- have spent the last 8 years totally modernising it.

We have a stunning open view over fields from one side and the ugliest view and main road from the other!

Other than the fact that I would like a bigger house now that there are 3 extra bodies in it compareed to when we brought it, the things I don't like to the extent that we will be trying to avoid in the next house:

Washing machine in garage
Conservatory. hate it. Too hot, makes the whole house hot, not usable (because of heat), just a dumping ground
sloped roof things in largest bedroom. Room size measured by floor size is great, but half of it is unusable and we bang our heads all the time
DP moved telly when we redocorated and now I can't see it when I MN
Am undecided about open-plan stairs. Think I would chose a proper hall cos noise carries
Need a downstairs loo now we have 3 DDs

Everything else is great. Great location, good sized rooms

Everytime a lorry goes past..or strong wind the windows rattle and scares the children.

we now use pegs to secure them...but it don't look too pretty!

Everything needs painting.

i love my house. i don't love the local crime rate and the drug dealers, however.

Oh and our bedroom is under the eaves and I bang my head if I get up half asleep in the night

the artex walls in my lounge (and ceiling throughout)

my hidieouse 'hand made' (by the man who used to live here) 60's kitchen (hand made in the 60's)

My second front door (ie the original front door before the porch was added)

the lack of plug sockets, 16 total in a 3 bed house including NONE in hall /s atirs / landing / porch
