En suite. It's like pissing in the corner of your bedroom.
I have seen some that close. Ours is through the wardrobe and further away from the bedroom than non ES in previous house.
I don't like the ones without doors so they really are in the room.

Genuinely curious why people wouldn’t want an en-suite? We live in a silly American house with too many bathrooms but I can’t see any reason to object to a bathroom that’s very convenient in the night? Or is an en-suite extra small or something?

Happyhappyday · 08/10/2023 02:23

Ok maybe my question is answered, I thought an en suite was just a private bathroom connected to a bedroom, not like weirdly small or with no door?!

coxesorangepippin · 08/10/2023 02:24

Probably a pool

We do however have both an ensuite and a hot tub. 😳

A bathroom with shiny marble tiles everywhere

A husband, an ironing board, I haven't ironed since 2013.

Servants.
I hate the idea of having to live with strangers who know all your secrets.

i might just about manage to get a cleaner and a gardener but hate the idea of having to endlessly manage staff and negotiate what you are eating when, and whether you'll need the car today and having people in and out of rooms fussing and dusting and sorting stuff. I'd run off and live in a little cottage.

I agree.
Live in staff must be suffocating no matter how discreet.
But I'd happily pay to outsource tasks I hate

The place we rented for just over a year had one. Honestly don't know what the fuss is about.

Spiders
Aquariums
Unaobtrusive cameras, including self-facing ones on smart phones.
Any bugs.

Iwantcollarbones · 08/10/2023 03:44

A TV. In any room. I genuinely would not have one if I didn’t have a husband. The children and I prefer music.

Dogs, cats, hamsters، etc. I'm good with outside animals though.

TV in the bedroom

Marble on the walls

A swimming pool or a pond (I've heard of children drowning in home pools too many times).

Goldmember · 08/10/2023 04:55

I can't think of anything specific. Reading through the posts I'd have all of those if I could.
Maybe a library. I do enjoy reading but the trashy books I read don't need to be displayed.
