Which extra room would you like in your house?

I wouldn't be without my cellar. I even have plans to have a corner of it all set up permanently with my yoga mat, rebounder, hula hoop and DVD player, etc, so that I can get on with that long-awaited fitness regime. Before that happens, I have to dig all those items out from under the boxes of junk....

I'd love a cellar. Grew up with one and my sister always buys a house with one, soooo useful. I've only seen mansions with ones where I live so no chance.

A utility/laundry room and a 'boot room' that would store and make accessible the stuff that's in the loft (Lego, jigsaws etc, DGs toys).

I was raised in a succession of too small council houses to fit in all my mother's children; now I live in a big, Edwardian house and never take my current good fortune for granted. I have most of the rooms that others are yearning for, so I am more than content with my lot and happy to share my house with as many people as possible.

When my boys were at school I was envious of a friend who had the sense to have a shower fitted in her utility room with access to the outside . Her 4 boys always entered that way in their muddy clothes from biking or sports . Straight into the shower and dirty clobber into the washing machine and no mess trailed through the house .

yes I would love a summer room with a woodburner, small fridge two comfortable chairs etc where I could go and just sit and listen to the radio while sewing or reading. I could then pretend I am on holiday. Also decked out with fairy lights.

ooh, how I would love a basement/cellar... think of all the junk I could get in there. Not to mention room for the dog, the cat and the OH when he is in the doghouse!

A conservatory would be nice too... and a porch with a swing, hmm keep on dreaming [Grin}

A utility room with a small downstairs toilet incorporated .im like you franbern. I would love a swimming pool it's always been a dream of mine .

A Sauna

I would like a separate dining room. We downsized several years ago and our lounge/diner is the same size as our previous lounge, which means we have less room to entertain. I have a large dining table and cabinet that I don't want to part with as they were a wedding present from my mum, but really they are too big for the room. We have a big family and I like cooking dinner for 10+ people, but with a small kitchen and no separate dining room this is much harder than it used to be.

We have a utility room but it was turned into a study by the previous owners. My DH still uses it as a study. I have to go into the garage to access my washing machine, freezer and dryer. I'd love to have a utility room!

Absolutely, *grampie". This was one of the reasons I never worked, or at least until my DC were in Secondary school. We had enough, but not loads of money - suited us. Hope they realise the gift we gave them.
It is now that we have too much stuff - it is the squirrel instinct I think.

The maid and chauffer are married so are happy with the cottage behind the stables but we could do with an extra room for the chauffer............oops must have nodded off there. Would really like a bigger utility/boot room. Currently have downstairs loo, boiler, sink and washing machine crammed in to one room with the tumble dryer on top of the washing machine blocking half the window.

A walk in pantry would be lovely even though I have a large kitchen. But most of all I would love a large fitted dressing room so all our clothes could be in there instead spread around in different rooms or in vacuum when not in season.

Large storeroom (so I could dump all the stuff that’s lying about in each room in there, close the door and not have to see it every day).

Though given my computer / work room seems to fill that role at the moment, it would take a few days for it to register with the rest of the family!

Mine wouldn't be an 'extra' room, but the extending of the tiny living room, so that I could invite both my sons, their wives, my mum and the 2 dgc (9 of us in total) all at the same time. As it is, we can squeeze 7 in if two sit on the floor, but that means blocking both doorways, and everyone's feet touch in the middle of the room. Not ideal!

A utility room & a conservatory please. I really hate scrubbing veg from the garden in the kitchen sink and I'd prefer not to have the washer in the kitchen. My sister has a beautiful bespoke conservatory on her Victorian house & I'm so jealous...!!

A conservatory, please. And if there's any money left over may I have a walk-in wardrobe with lots of shelves and places for shoes?

We have a small utility room which is very useful, though a larger one would be better. I'd love a conservatory but we haven't the room as the garden is small.

A library; a music room and a walk in pantry. The pantry would be my first choice as books and music can be squashed into the living room as they are already!!!

This article is very interesting as to why we always seek more:

We have made our conservatory which is L shaped with home gym in one half more usable by having under floor heating installed and now use in winter too to sit and have coffee in warm whilst looking out at garden, birds and even odd squirrel. We never used it during winter months before except for rowing machine and exercise bike.

I would love an extra lounge that was immaculately tidy and kept itself spotless. When an unexpected visitor arrived I could lead them in there. Instead I am baking, flour all over work surfaces, kitchen door needs a clean and door bell rings.

I'm with jalima . . .a pantry!!!

I am fortunate (I know). In my current house in which I live by myself I have a small Utility room off the kitchen, holds the washing machine and tumble dryer and the freezer. Also have a small downstairs loo. My retirement present to myself was to have a very tiny en-suite (toilet, basin and shower unit), fitted under the stairs which go up to the loft room. Still have bath in my bathroom.
So, I am going to be totally greedy in what I would like and that is a small, swimming pool. Then I could have a pleasant swim most days before getting showered and dressed.
