For me it would be a state of the art home gym and I would get my PT to come to me rather than me go to her at 6am.

Next thing I would love is a private chef .

The best thing we have is the Boot Room.

Large library and good sized indoor pool. Inhouse chef and housekeeping staff. Car and chauffeur.

Air conditioning in every main room.
Curtains that can be open and shut from an app.
A home gym with top of the range machines
Dyson hand dryers in all of the loos

A detached house with an upstairs bathroom and a big greenhouse in the garden.

I am here to lower the tone of your thread.

Pinball machine room.

A laundry room. Big enough for washer, dryer, storage for hoover, ironing board and cleaning stuff. A big double utility sink. And lots of space for those drying racks that are on a pulley. So it would also need a high ceiling and velux windows that open and close with a remote control.

This + secret library + gym

A home office, so I'm not WFH in my living room and having to clear Lego off my desk every morning, and so I can close the door on it at the end of the day. Could just be a box room with a window and enough room for a desk, anything would be an upgrade on the current situation!

A bike workshop/shed for DH so all his stuff doesn't spread all over the house.

Wood floors throughout, carpets never feel properly clean to me.

Nannyfannybanny · 09/10/2023 12:33

3rd bedroom,so both grandkids could stay at once. Second toilet. Kitchen extension. Library, swimming pool,in this order.

Jk987 · 09/10/2023 12:52

A sauna and plunge pool!

Equity

Surely2023IsTheYearForMyRainbowBaby · 09/10/2023 12:54

Not that any of these would actually fit anywhere, but a dishwasher, a swimming pool and a craft room full of cross stitches, adult colouring books, gel pens and crayons, blank canvases and paints not that I can paint for toffee and diamond paintings. Oh and a lovely comfy chair and a desk for me to do my crafts at.

SoupDragon · 09/10/2023 12:54

A swimming pool and a gym. And a beach. And, since we are dreaming, constant summer.

sockarefootwear · 09/10/2023 13:20

I would convert my garage in to a library/reading room, accessed from the main house via a secret passageway. This is important, so that I could sneak in to it without being seen and no-one would be able to follow me or find me (so for example when DH family visit I could sit and read without appearing rude).

The library would have book shelves all round, with moveable ladders and would be constantly stocked with interesting books. It would be warm and cosy in the winter and cool and airy in the Summer. There would be a variety of different seats to choose from depending on my mood as well as cosy blankets, drinks and snacks. There would be no phones/tablets/computers allowed. There would be no spiders in the room or the passage way.

Trickedbyadoughnut · 09/10/2023 17:45

Horse accommodation 😆

Findyourneutralspace · 09/10/2023 17:46

A housekeeper!

ArcticBells · 09/10/2023 17:46

Effective central heating! Mine all needs stripping out and re plumbing. I'd love under floor heating

NigellaAwesome · 09/10/2023 17:49

A wonderfully landscaped garden

EarthlyNightshade · 09/10/2023 17:50

Gate at end of garden leading to beach. (we are a couple of hundred miles from beach).
I'd like a secret passage. Couple of loose planks to release a hinge leading to a secret stairway that leads down to cave at said beach. Passageway could be lined with books rather than cold and rat infested.

Hbh17 · 09/10/2023 17:50

An original Vermeer..... every year I say that it's what I want for Xmas 😂

Hatty65 · 09/10/2023 17:53

A new kitchen, that wasn't damp and didn't have cupboards that are falling apart. A huge walk in pantry.

Millybob · 09/10/2023 17:54

An art collection.

Saschka · 09/10/2023 17:56

Aircon. Laundry room. Decent sized kitchen. Big walk-in monsoon shower. Dressing room. Big yoga/dance studio in the garden, with a treadmill/ergo trainer looking out onto the lawn.

Sprig1 · 09/10/2023 17:57

Definitely a personal chef (and someone to do the food shopping).

Trez1510 · 09/10/2023 18:07

A walk-in device to dry the entire body.
Extreme soundproofing so that I hear absolutely zilch from outside.
