If money is no object, I would like a house with the following features:
A U shaped kitchen with an island when utilities so that peeps can gather round and cook/eat on it.
Sufficient area in the kitchen to have a dinner for 4-6 people for informal meals.
A door leading from the kitchen to the garden via the all weather porch.
A walk-in cold room and freezer.
A utility room with a deep sink, and space for hanging clothes, and dirty boots/shoes.
A separate dinning room sufficient to take a round table to sit 12 for formal dinning.
A large door in the lounge leading to the garden via the all weather porch.
A lounge big enough to have proper dances, with a proper bar at one end, equipped with fridge and ice machine etc...
A smaller cosier room with a real fire.
An en-suite master bedroom with sufficient space for a decent size whirlpool bath for two, and a dancing pole in the room itself, and a few other toys etc...
A cinema room with the latest sound and visual equipment.
An all-weather porch sufficient to have loungers, BBQs and a fully equipped bar.
A all-weather swimming pool as well as a separate jacuzzi. And a waterproof TV/DVD!
And not being overlooked by anyone!
What's yours?  |

Got to have a decent size garden for my dog and cat too, and sufficient space for more BBQs, and even group BBQs and camp fire!
Enough space for my growing DVD collection is a must in the cinema room!!! |

I don't need or want a huge house. Would love a cosy living room with an open fire a good sized kitchen with all mod cons and a breakfast bar, a dining room, a conservatory and a small neat ourdoor space for BBQs etc. 3 good sized bedrooms so I can have friends to stay and a nice bathroom with a walk in shower. Mostly lots of storage space, and thats about it. Somewhere with character and with a nice view would be perfect. |

Like you Steve, I had my dream home, lovingly restored renovated and extended by my lovely (an architect) and I.
It had the 5 bedrooms the large kitchen with atrium, an AGA and wood-burning stove, the table that seated 12. Coal fires in lounges and bedroom, with doors to the garden and decking from my bedroom and kitchen.
Strangely enough once he had gone the house became a living nightmare for me. The heart had gone out of the home.
I eventually sold it and now live in a tiny two bed semi, I'd live in a tent if it meant getting the heart back in my home.
Happiness is where your heart is darlings not in stones and mortar. xxxx |

Ours would be an old house built in 1930 from local bricks made from local clay dug out of the local colliery, it would have 2 bedrooms kitchen and lounge and an inside netty ! It would be in a terrace of 20 and there'd only be 20 other houses beside us.
It would be a warm, welcoming house, clean tidy and nothing fancy and would have sufficient space in the garden to house my collections of odd things, like road signs and lamp posts and a recent aquisition - a big old steel safe 
Ooops, looks like we're sorted already |

.
Very true, laine!
That is why I have taken a new yet more junior job locally so that I do not have to relocate.
I invested a lot of time, effort and money into doing my house up, and have only lived in it for less than 4 years.
I would like to live here for a bit longer before I have to move again.
Besides, I hate to move as it means I have to pack, and that stresses me out, big time!!!  |

mine is a pit house built 1885 and part of a terrace,
bricks are that hard cant drill them and so thick we hear nothing from next door,
its all ways warm clean but not to tidy nice size garden large enough for my pond and fish would take a lot to get me to move |

Aye Jim ours is the same, an old pit house, bricks as hard as hell and timbers in the roof as thick as tree trunks - Built to last though
We'd be well bolloxed if we ever had to move, we also have a fishpond with massive sandstone chunks around it (they were made from the lintel and mullions from an old fireplace) and a collection of cast iron roadsigns from years gone by - actually they are mileposts, and 2 full sized orignal cast iron lamp posts. I've only recently laid my hands on an old steel safe which will be getting painted and placed in the middle of the lawn, as a feature. That was the wife's idea, the safe was to be disposed of from a job that I was working on recently, so into the back of the van it went - no wonder I have a bad back 
so you can imagine the problems we'd have if we move. Thank heavens we love living here |

near the sounds of the wimborne quarter jack! |
People who have seen my place love in! Not the house which is a "standard" three bed ex local authority semi, but the area and the views. I`m about 2 miles away from the nearest town which isn`t that large anyway, fields at the front and back of the house. There`s 7 other houses in my road itself and the next buildings are a farm 300yards away, three NT cottages about the same and another farm about 1/4 mile away. At the back I have little but fields and a copse. Downsides? Apart from the school bus we get one bus a week each way to the town and we now get overrun by grockles looking at the nearby NT stately home. Going back to the plus side, if you like it, Bournemouth`s 20 minutes away. |
