What common home features does your home not have?

[ThePinkDreamer]

A working fireplace

A thermostat. God knows why not.

A garage. We have a Man Shed though, DH's pride and joy.

off street parking (apparently a necessity on MN)
alexa
ring doorbell
clothes line

Same. I prefer to wash dishes by hand anyway.

I don't have a tumble drier either.

Seems I'm less keen on white goods than most people. 😜

Spare bedroom (I get that's a luxury but oh how i would love one when DH is snoring).

Off street parking.

Loads of Victorian houses still have them
We have 7 working ones left in our house it originally had 11 - we only use 1 of them though.

I wouldn't buy a house without a working fireplace!

We are missing a TV.

We're out in the sticks - there is no mains gas to the village at all.

We don't have an ensuite but do have 2 small upstairs bathrooms so there is (hardly ever) a fight for them in the morning.

Tv. If I didn’t have a DH i wouldn’t have a tv.
Wood burning stove.
En suite.
An offers for my unused dining room?

A separate dining room, cloakroom, conservatory, utility room, dedicated spare bedroom.......basically there is a whole wing missing 😭😁

Kitchen bin - they smell and get dirty plus take up room in our small kitchen so I take rubbish straight out to the bin.

Dishwasher - again, no room

Ring doorbell - we just answer the door! I wouldn't mind one too much but dh doesn't like them and I do agree that they aren't neccesary.

They aren’t common are they?

Mains water. We pump ours straight out of the ground. It tastes lovely.

A microwave. Never had one, no interest or need in having one.
A dishwasher.

Stairs. A garden. A back door.

I live in a flat!

Our previous flat, central London, was extremely hot and we never used the storage heaters. We had an air con unit! We did put in super efficient heaters from Norway IF someone wanted heat. When we had the EPC done, they said that if we'd kept the storage heaters, we would have had a higher rating. Even the guy said EPC makes no sense at all.

@PickAChew Hello! Yes, but we now finally have a provisional date we're working towards to get back, which is end of September.

On the upside we'll have a brand new completely refurbished flat, on the downside it's still a tiny one bedroom (tinier now due to updated fire regs requiring thicker insulation) and we now have a newborn to share it with!

A usable light in the lounge

A garage. We're in a detached 4 bed house, not a terrace so I think it's unusual not to have a garage.

A kitchen island
An outdoor kitchen/seating area.
Decking
Patio heater
Ring doorbell
Dishwasher
En-suite
More than 1 TV
Sky/BT or ANY subscriptions

We are absolutely SO deprived!!!

Fireplace. Love my house but i do miss my fire from my last house, so cosy.

A bath, a shed.

If we're including appliances an air fryer.

A back door, we have one front door only, so have to go out and walk round to get to the garden.

No connection to sewage system, no mains gas supply, no stairs, no microwave.

A hallway, which is my main bugbear. More than one bathroom. Off street parking. A spare bedroom. We do have Sky though so if DD ever runs for office, she’ll have to bemoan the lack of house space growing up, instead of a satellite tv subscription.
