ARAICR the stairs ran across the whole width of the house, so would probably
have involved some even more tortuous corridor arrangements. There wasn't
any space to spare.

Although I think a downstairs bathroom for the second bedroom could be an
adverse selling point for a family home (little Johnny wanting a wee in the
middle of the night) for an adult house-share the asset of having a second
bathroom would outweight the disadvantage of it being downstairs, and
buy-to-let was a major target market. I think it would have been about the
best to do with an awkward house.

But what twits spend about £3,500 on a kitchen in a 2-up 2-down and don't
even fit a draining board.

They did tidy the back yard up nicely though, which is something overlooked
by most of the comba^Wcontestants.
