The message from Mike Halmarack contains these words:
Funny thing was it was built by a builder for his own use and was the worst layout of a house I've ever seen. Superficially nice but continually irritating in even the smallest detail.
Come on, don't beat about the bush man!
No I must 've missed that one, perhaps it coincided with a new edition of Playboy. :-)
No, it's quite long one car garage which will still accommodate the one car.
I expect that the large, inward opening ground floor window could, if necessary be adapted to the purpose.
This one too, though it might be more realistic to say that it was for his temporary use, while he built the one next door.
This ones a delight, though it might be that I'm too easily pleased. :-)
I would not be inclined to lose a good lounge.

No, the lounge is staying. Thanks for the input.
Indeed. I would like 2 bedrooms and a good sized bathroom, or rather one bedroom, a bathroom, and a good sized study. Many an otherwise desirable propery is ruined for my purpose by space wasted to a miserable pokey 'en-suite'.
Nothing wrong with a walk through access.
Technically. It may irritate potential buyers though, so make sure it can be 'corridoored' easily.
Fire regs in terms of smoke alarms and ability to jump out of windows is an issue you need to address.
But apart from that go for it.
I can imagine a scenario of someone in the inner bedroom getting desperate for a pee but not wanting to walk through the outer bedroom where the visiting relatives are making full use of the Luxury Orthopaedic Dunlopillow With Extra Bouncy Springs.
Owain
Not very. It would be considered a "+1". i.e. a 2 bedroom house would become a 2+1 bed, not a 3 bed.
Depends on the area. Round here a 2+1 is worth a bit more than a 2 bed, but nowhere near a 3 bed. If it doesn't already have one, it has value as a possible en-suite conversion to the master bedroom. When selling, this possibility should be suggested very clearly.
Christian.
That's quite an imagination...
When selling, describe the two rooms as a 'master suite'.
Leave some handcuffs dangled casually from the bedpost ...
Owain
Wot! and get charged for being improperly dressed on the job? Nah then!
Sounds extremely stylish. I might try that if I can't be bothered to put a corridor in.
The possibilities keep mounting. Thanks for the tip. :-)
Perhaps the crescendo of urges could be amalgamated in one glorious....oops!
Perhaps a Japanese style shoji with the sliding door, at the first opportunity.
I'll definitely look into that.
I like your positivity. :-)
