Strange & Unusual Houses

Post by Derek Nimmo »

I'm really looking forward to my lovely relaxing shower. IN A CUPBOARD.

THAT'S SO WEIRD! And a bit murdery-sinister.

That is bizarre. Also I hate the pink tiles above the sink in their bathroom.

Oh! :lol: Did you look at the floorplan too? You'd be getting out of the shower in the hallway! So presumably, trotting out naked into the hallway to grab your towel. WEIRD!

Snort. That's such a great layout for privacy :mog:

That's so bizarre. Why haven't they just put one over the bath like a normal?

Floorplan :love2: I missed that first time around. I love them. I reckon rightmove should only show floorplans.

According to the blurb it's the "Guest shower". So the guests can shower, come out into the hallway facing straight towards the master bedroom.

It's because the main bathroom is en suite so there's a 'need' for a second bathroom to market it as a proper two bedroom flat (suitable for sharers etc). This wouldn't have been the solution I'd have come up with though :woteva:

I figure it's because the bathroom is otherwise only accessible via the main bedroom, so this way your guests/flatsharer at least has access to their own loo/sink and shower, but there have to have been better layout options so they actually have space to dry themselves and get dressed in privacy after they get out of the shower. :mrgreen:.

I'd have stolen the cupboard space beside it, and put a shallower cupboard in the hallway on the other side, myself.

I just worked that out with a look at the handy floorplan. There MUST have been a better way of doing it, though. Ensuite shower in second bedroom then loo and sink in hall?

Also! Can you imagine the mould that's going to grow in there? And is there even a light?

(Personally, if I thought it was so important to get another bathroom in I'd have sacrificed the cupboards in the hallway, built the bathroom out, and repositioned the door to the main bedroom on the far left so that the whole hallway could shift to the side.)

Both issues that can be easily solved by having guests shower with the door open. :teacher: :))

I've seen (and lived in) quite a few flats in Edinburgh with that weird shower/cupboard arrangement :)) Mould is definitely an issue.

My boyfriend at uni lived in a house with a shower cupboard. It had no light so you had to leave the door open. Needless to say I didn't use it.

Ha! How bizarre. People make some weird decisions when they carve up houses into flats.

I once looked at an otherwise totally lovely 1 bed flat in a townhouse in Islington that had a kitchen in a cupboard. It was so bizarre!
