Is this house layout unhinged?

[DevilsKitchen]

Or is it just me?

A “four bedroom” house that is actually a generous 2 bed with storage, a study and a dining room.

The person in bedroom 3 doesn’t have a toilet on their floor, and bedroom 4 is only accessed via the utility room. Meanwhile you have a bog each on the top floor!

£380k - actual normal 3 bed house with conventional kitchen/diner, living room and utility in same area going for £375k!

I’d prefer a toilet & sink, and small study space instead of ‘bedroom 3’. The ground floor bedroom being so separate from the other bedrooms probably wouldn’t work for a young family.

I don’t think it’s too bad for some set ups. It wouldn’t be awful for us now. Although when the kids were younger it wouldn’t have worked.
DS17 downstairs fairly self contained. Middle floor bedroom an office and us and teen DD on top floor.
In the future, we expect DS will move out and DM will potentially move in. Ideal bedroom for her.

We don’t have a ‘public’ toilet on the middle floor where our living room now. DS’s bedroom is on the middle floor with en-suite but we don’t use that if he’s in and wouldn’t send guests to it. We either go downstairs to the downstairs toilet or up to the third floor to the family bathroom.

So bedroom 3 is not a bedroom, but 4 with it's bathroom is quite standard in a townhouse type house, and great for a granny/nanny/adult child

@CandidHedgehog i agree about getting rid of bedroom 3. If you knocked through to make that a kitchen diner rather than having the table in the quite small living room and then maybe labelled bedroom 4 a study it would be okay. Like I said in my OP, it’s a 2 bed house really.

How can a house layout be unhinged? (It can't)

I think what you mean is that it doesn't suit you.

it would be great for some people.

the layout wouldn't bother me for what I need, but it wouldn't have with small children.

As previous PPs have said, it's not uncommon in "modern" (1960s) townhouses to be built this way, however, taking into account the age of the house, a lot of internal walls may only be stud walls and therefore the layout changed.

In the Sandwell area of West Midlands, there are at least two estates of townhouses built in the 60s, where the front door originally opened straight into the garage, and another "front door" at the back of said garage separated the garage from the hall, which lead onto the downstairs loo, rear room (typically used as a bedroom, and having the ONLY access to the back garden), and the stairs. I like the houses, but I'd hate that layout, where a bedroom in a large family house was the only access to the garden.

Was probably set up for an elderly relative who.could have their own bedroom and bathroom without climbing stairs. I'd say a practical 3 bed with a granny annex :)

Looks like a student house to me.
