No words really - wtf - the mezzanine bedroom?!?

My SIL had a small house like that with a mezzanine bedroom. It was fine for her as a single person.

Weirdly there’s apparently another more normal bedroom, but it’s not obvious which that is in the photos - maybe the last one? (With no bed in it…)

Do you think they wake up to find the pillows have fallen down into the sink? Wouldn’t you make that bit behind the bed more solid, just up to bed head height??

And how do you get to the other bedroom? It looks like you have to go through the garden!

The mezzanine bedroom has a glass floor so anybody in the kitchen would be looking up your nighty.

And both wardrobes are far from the bedrooms.

I suppose they were very restricted by the shape of the original building (it’s a conversion), but it’s not done well.

Is that a hole in the mezzanine floor right by the bed?

I live in effectively a studio flat which is advertised as "two bedrooms" but actually is one undivided living room with glass room dividers cordoning off bed sized areas (with no windows in the 'bedrooms').

It's surprising they're allowed to do this as I always thought bedrooms had to have walls and a window. I know in The rest of the world they advertise property by square footage, whereas we do it by bedroom number so suddenly any cupboard or balcony is a bedroom

@spanieleyes - yeah you go through the courtyard, that in itself wouldn’t bother me.

@OurfriendsintheNE - glass floor

It's bonkers.

There is a proper bedroom with an ensuite bath (bath not bathroom) that you can only access by going outside. So to pee in the night you would need to get up. Put shoes and a raincoat on. Unlock the patio door and then enter the main house.

The mezzanine bedroom appears to be completely open. No risk of falling off at all! And no privacy if anyone was in the main area of the house. It also has severely limited head room.

Kitchen look pretty impractical. They've put in a tiny hob with downdraft extractor and I can't see an oven or microwave combi. How big is the fridge?

i seriously hope this is an amazing location as it is a very odd house to be asking 375K for otherwise.

I’m sure I’ve seen that house on Homes under the Hammer! I’ll check…

What’s the ‘gap’ next to the bathroom?

Weird

It’s like a first year architecture project that they actually built!
surely that mezzanine has not passed building regs

What's the blue thing around the "sofa" in front of the TV? Looks like a booth from an office.

In 10 photos, 3 of them (5,6,7) are entirely pointless (what even are 5 and 7?!). The 'bed' seems to be just a mattress on the floor, there's no photo of the living area (sofa etc).
The finish looks nice, but the layout is awful!

That's a lot of money for a very badly planned conversion. Is it a massively expensive area?

Most importantly, what's behind the green door? Greeen doooah 🎶

Did anybody else spot the tissue box stand by the sofa...

Don't even want to think why they need a high privacy screen and a tissue stand.

Shudder...

I’m glad others find this just as odd. Normally the floor plan can shed some light but I’m still trying to work out why according to this there is a wardrobe in the kitchen/ living room.

The layout would work for letting the second bedroom with en-suite and private access out as a standalone rental or holiday let; or for using it as a live-work space with a therapy room / studio to see clients without them having to actually access your home. Being in mind the size of the plot I think it’s probably more marketable as either of those as it was clearly never going to be a family home.

I have no idea, but it's a terrible mess.

How much? Must be all about the location 🙄

Whoever chose the photos should be sacked.

Is it a garage conversion at the end of someone’s garden?

The mezzanine looks dangerous enough to be illegal, and the kitchen! There's nowhere to put anything! The sofa area looks grim, I can't imagine a less welcoming place to live.

The sofa looks like one of those awful high backed ‘semi-private’ seating options you get in office catalogues.

Or built playing The Sims 😂
