I live on my own in a decent sized 1960s 3-bed semi with a good sized garage, garden and driveway.
I bought it with my ex - which was a huuuuuge mistake, as was getting with her in the first place, with hindsight - and it's too big for just me, really, but I can't afford to move either |

House with my children. There's a couple of bits I'd love to change although some not quite possible as it's a very old terrace house. I'm in the process of sorting out the mess of a garden at the moment. Wish it had a drive way instead of on street parking  |

We live in a five bedroom house in the middle of no where. We built it too big but at the time it made sense.
We have 3 kids.
We lived with other people for years and years but now I have my last home and I am perfectly happy here for the rest of my life |

I'd change the upkeep required (my poor chimney, the plastering etc)  ) and also paint the living room walls a dark green. The latter has been vetoed by the fiancé though. |

it was meant to be a stop-gap to get us out of a women's refuge, as that was crippling. but my life going up in flames meant we've not been able to leave yet.
however my Small People are happy and healthy and warm, and i know im fortunate when there are so many others who aren't quite so.

2 bedroom cottage, nice enclosed yard, 2 small outbuildings and a big shed, just me and the pup. I'd struggle to throw a stone to my nearest neighbour.
I want to rip up the tarmac and relay it at some point and fit gullies where there's poor drainage and an aqua channel across the shed entrance. I want to RIP up the concrete outside the outbuildings as the person here before me let s and grass overrun it and they along with ground water have ruined it. |

I live alone in a 2 bed apartment. Well I do have a puppy and my kids stay half the week. But other than that I’m all alone.
I give my bedrooms to the kids and my bed is in the (quite large) living room behind the couch. It’s great for watching tv in bed haha
Hate the place but after being homeless, it’s now home and a roof over my head.

I live in a big house, in a slightly down at heel area (though it is on the up).
5 bedroom Edwardian terrace. On my own.
I moved here 4 years or so ago, when I separated from my wife. It's funny, I realised that it was actually the first time I had ever lived on my own!
I joined the Army at 16, and left married 10 years later.
I never, ever, ever, want to share my home again!

honestly the house prices are really decent... I wouldn't pay city centre prices; but I'm only about 15 mins car journey away from the centre of Manchester and was able to buy this place (decent size, front and back garden and a drive etc) for basically the cost of a garage in London
with home working etc more normal now, I reckon prices round here could fly up due to its proximity to everything.. feel blessed to live in such a gorgeous little town.
and it has the advantage of being so close to the greatest city in the world! |

Reading about reluctant gardeners above. Our site is over 1/4 acre. I have put a lawn in the front, I planted rows of vegetables on the side and the back is still over grown bog.
I'm way over my head. My poly tunnel killed everything I put in there. My rows of veg all died. I got 6 peas and a spud too small to eat.
We have a family of deer living over the hill and they ate all my potato plants ... and my grass is pale and yellow and and full of rushes |

I had a 3 bed semi detached house of my own but I sold up in 2015 and we moved in with my mum (4 bed detached) as her health and her mobility are pretty shit and getting worse with the end result being that she will end up blind.
I sometimes regret leaving the property ladder but my mum is more important and my kids are happy so, c’est la vie.

Tiny victorian terrace with the sproglets. We're fortunate enough to have a long thin garden instead of the usual small yard, and there's an access path to the back gardens mid-terrace, which has our box room and the bathroom above it. I wish I could afford a full width extension on the back so instead of trying to cram visitors into a tiny living room and a dining kitchen we'd have more space for family Christmas dinners and birthdays etc. I'm lucky to own a house so I shouldn't complain too much. |

Far too big for us really but the family are always here so it's nice to have the space. Only thing I'd change is the position as the back garden is overlooked so not private enough to sunbathe in the buff. |

"I had a 3 bed semi detached house of my own but I sold up in 2015 and we moved in with my mum (4 bed detached) as her health and her mobility are pretty shit and getting worse with the end result being that she will end up blind.
I sometimes regret leaving the property ladder but my mum is more important and my kids are happy so, c’est la vie.

Just Mr N and I in a two bed, detached.
We're (still) making improvements/ renovations but it's the first home we've ever had where we can afford to get it how we want it. We love the garden and the house all we would change would be fewer neighbours and if wish lists are allowed we'd add an indoor swimming pool, sauna and hot tub but only one of those three is even a remote possibility. |

And what you would change
I live in a 1 bedroom flat on my own after years of living with other people and I LOVE it
I would change the tiny outside area to a private garden
"
I live in a 3 bed house alone and although it’s amazing it’s too big for my needs now so ideally want to downsize to a 2 bed flat or bungalow with a garage, to store motorbike, and a wood burner/fire to relax in front of when freezing |

"2 bedroom cottage, nice enclosed yard, 2 small outbuildings and a big shed, just me and the pup. I'd struggle to throw a stone to my nearest neighbour.
I want to rip up the tarmac and relay it at some point and fit gullies where there's poor drainage and an aqua channel across the shed entrance. I want to RIP up the concrete outside the outbuildings as the person here before me let s and grass overrun it and they along with ground water have ruined it.
That sounds like my perfect house, if I wasn't scared of being alone at night in the middle of nowhere."
Damn why did you have to put that into my head? Luckily the pup keeps me company. |

3 bed corner semi with T, my 2 children & a dog. As we’re on a corner the front garden is a total waste of space but the birds like it. T is doing something with raised beds in the back garden - I just make cups of tea. And sometimes watch him.
We looked at moving but would need a bigger mortgage for a smaller house. Bloody stupid!!!

3 bed post WW1 "homes for heroes" house, ex-local authority. It's one of the end houses of a row of 3 but looks like a semi detached in terms of design. Large front and back gardens plus driveway up the side from front to back. Garage in the back garden too. All the bedrooms are doubles, all rooms have large sizes and high ceilings due to the architectural rules for local authority houses at the time. Currently it's Mr KC, our daughter and I who live here FT. Our 18yo son lives away at uni at the moment, but may or may not come home at some point?! My Dad occasionally stays but he gets confused so not as much now.
What we'd change - all of downstairs - needs a new kitchen and damp issues resolving but builders either fail to turn up, or come but don't quote and disappear.
We had the roof done in Feb/March and also a new bathroom this year too. |

I've got a stupidly big 3 bedroom house that I'm about to sell and downsize.
If it wasn't for Ivy coming to stay with me at the beginning of lockdown then I'd be rattling around on my own in a house with 15 rooms ( 3 bathrooms, 2 are en-suite) 4 toilets, walk in pantry, a balcony, 2 large integral garages, driveway for 6 cars and my own 60ft private mooring on the canal.
I really want to downsize to something a third the size (2 bedrooms) but keep the drive and a big garage but it's a nightmare trying to find something that isn't set up for a family, there is a real lack of houses to suit people who want to live alone but still have something that ticks the right boxes. |

I live in a stone fronted 3 floor Victorian terrace set back from the road
Out front, there is a stone walled courtyard garden
Out back, there is a walles yard, a car parking space and then a garden which is a mix of lawn and raised decking
Inside; downstairs there is a living room, dining room & kitchen
Upstairs, a big front bedroom, bathroom and a smaller back bedroom currently used as an office / snug
Upstairs again is a full size attic room which goes front to back with beamed ceilings
Some rooms are finished, others are work in progress
The best thing about it though is the view out back, hills & open countryside |

We are in a 4 bed 1950's semi with a massive, south facing garden that I love. We recently got our shitty 80's conservatory redone so now it's a usable room. At the moment it's a home office but could be anything you want it to be.
I'd make the bedrooms all doubles if I could and divert the traffic so it's quieter out front but from that I'm happy here |

"Not many 'single' men that live alone then
Shocker "
One of the lucky ones here. I was able to buy my ex wife out on amicable terms.
Love having it to myself. 3 bedroom semi plus converted loft workroom which stays cool in summer and warmish in winter.
Most houses in this road have been converted to 5 bedroom by infilling over linking garages, spoiling the separation and turning one side of the road into a continuous terrace. not what the original planners had in mind but greedy council rubs hands together over increased rateable value.
Big downside of people enlarging instead of moving is that it takes smaller affordable properties, in this pleasant area, off the market forever and they then get replaced with lower quality new builds elsewhere which now invariably are on developments deliberately featuring shared amenity charges.
Need all the space to myself and only heat areas I am using. Staying here until they find me at the bottom of the stairs after nobody's seen me for a week! |
