What common home features does your home not have?

A working fireplace

Stairs.

Outdoor space.

Spare room.

Carpets anywhere.

I've always desperately wanted a ha-ha.

My house currently doesn't have a functional kitchen. No worksurfaces at all (we chop and prep food on a large chopping board balanced across the sink, or on the cooker hob (only two of whose rings work) and a cement floor with a giant trench, two-feet deep, down the middle that needs to be crossed on a plank).

We also had no TV for years, until a client of DH's sent us an enormous one out of the blue.

An airing cupboard. Would love one for storing towels and bedding. My nans house had a huge double one, the hot water tank in there used to dry clothes beautifully and everything was warm and aired. Combi boilers mean that they’re becoming rarer.

We don't have:

A working fireplace
Cooker extractor (although it looks like we do, but the unit is blank - thanks previous owners)
More than one TV
A hallway

Same, plus no shower, and no second loo.

Why?

A hallway - just a square at the bottom of the stairs (enough room to hang a few coats)
More than 1 toilet
More than 1 TV (I've never liked to watch tv in bed)

A tumble dryer. Or drier? Hmm not sure which is correct ha.

A doorbell.

Blinds/ curtains / any window covering in the sitting room. A long running dispute between DH and I. 10 years and counting... 😒

Kitchen drawers. Not even for cutlery. Seriously who does that?

We have several working fireplaces, but no showers.

First floor..its a bungalow..😂

Cooker extractor (I don't like them so didn't put one in)
Fireplace or fire (we have underfloor heating)
En suite (no space)

Fireplace
Loft

No electricity, no municipal water, no dishwasher, no heating system (gas or electric), no glass in windows 😂

But we have an airfryer that runs on solar, so I like to think of us as the mod-cons family in our neighbourhood 😉

Rural African living (not actually living in 1800s Britain!)

No mains gas
No foundations - house predates the idea of them

No airing cupboard. It's a complete pain for storage.

An upstairs bathroom

Dishwasher, we don’t have room for one.

I don't think those are very common these days TBH.

Mains gas
alexa
dushwasher

This is very bizarre! Is it a very old house and the cutlery has its own cabinet in a room of its own?!

*I mean like, old Manor house, not an old 2 up 2 down...

Where do you keep your cutlery? We keep some of ours in drawers of our sideboard

Sadly not. 'tis an IKEA kitchen designed by a fuckwit.
