We have 5 bedrooms, in London.
- Ours
- mini_com's
- My office
- ms_com's office
- Spare room/storage.
And still have a living room and separate dining room. It is in Thornton Heath though, and in a state so cost much less than about 90% of the stuff being posted here.
As @Howard says, my office is too small to do anything other than be a home office. I have my desk, a shelf/drawer unit, 1 bike and it's already getting to the point where you need to plan how to open the door. You could probably get a single bed in here, but it would be a grim bedroom.
ms_com's office is in the eaves room of the loft conversion, so I would only be able to use about 20% of it (I'm 6'2"), so it made sense for her to "have" it for her work and crafts and shit. I'll get a shed at some point. Eyeing up a 16' x 8' Beast job thanks to @SeƱor_Bear triggering my shed envy.

Well one is going to be a bathroom, one a snug, one a study/exercise room, one a guest bedroom, one is ours... all used up!
It's a four bed with no bathroom really. Or, there was a downstairs bathroom, but I've kinda already demolished it :)
None of our 'five' bedrooms are tiny, but they're not big either, except for the first floor master bedroom which is going to be our snug (living room for watching the projector/being cosy in as opposed to living room for guests, bit like the Victorians did with their front parlours).
Think I'm about to push the button on a Tado setup which was inevitable given we now have a five bedroom house - Nest y u no TRV/UK temperature sensors (shakes fist) - but I'm a bit confused about what I actually need...
Currently have a combi boiler with a (crap) basic wireless thermostat and 10 radiators, but I'm fairly sure I'm going to add a hot water tank because I'm planning on getting a bath.
I want to try Tado out first with a limited setup, so I think what I need is the kit below plus a TRV or two, because I need a wireless receiver as our thermostat isn't wired, and this will let me control our hot water tank in future?
