How Can This Be Justified

Utility/laundry room?

14 plus two dressing rooms and a boudoir is 17 plus a kitchen (bet there are two kitchens, one private) makes it at least 18.

A dressing room each is a bit steep but okay I guess, so that brings us up to 15 and if we add a kitchen 16. So we just need 4. What about that dog of their's does that need a room?

Just thought they probably need a cinema room so that leaves us with 3.

Sheds are usually away from the main house though jingle so can't possible count as a room. no matter how often your DH is sent to his

My DH inhabits his shed more than he does my the living room. So, it's a room.

Oh, and they'll have a Dressing Room each!

There has to be a boudoir for Kate or it doesn't count as a palace.

Surely a kitchen is counted as a room?

No you can't possibly include sheds jingle no matter how posh they might be ! and who the hell needs 3 sheds anyway?

Okay so we are up to 14 including two offices. What about the other 6?

We've got nine, twelve if you include the sheds.

There will no doubt be a couple of offices. I think they both have diary secretaries.

Let it go, Lady!!!

I don't think toilets and bathrooms are counted as "rooms" in estate agents speak.

So perhaps it is 5 bedrooms, 1 formal sitting room, 1 informal sitting room, 1 family room, 1 playroom, 1 library, 1 informal dining room, 1 formal dining room ..........okay I am struggling now.

Doubtless all five bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms. Then there will be a massive playroom. Obviously there will be a big dining room and a butler's pantry...
Galen, mine is a 'little terraced house' and I don't have plural toilets, utility or conservatory... I wish... I think your definition of 'little' is wanting.

I've just counted mine. If yo include toilets bathroom utility and conservatory mine has 11 and it's only a little terraced house.

Kitchen? Bathrooms? Lavs? Suites for the formal entertaining that may be expected of them?

I dunno.

Well I am easily confused, but if it is a 20 room apartment and only 5 are bedrooms what the hell are the other 15 rooms used for?

Bye!!! Mwah

I was just being mischievous! I'm off to The Tower now! Bye x

It does say it's a five bedroom apartment which doesn't seem ott if they have three children. All children would like their own room.

I should have added: after all they have to share rooms at boarding school!! X

If they have another baby, couldn't they share a bedroom? I'm sure that's the case for many of our DGCs. X

How ever many more children they have , unless it runs into double figures , 20 rooms does seem a bit excessive IMO

I wonder how many kids they would need to have to fill that place anno ?not forgetting nannies, servants, butlers, cooks, bottlewashers, toothpaste squeezers.....................

If they are (as often suggested) doing a "job", then the home provided should be taxable or else they should pay full market value in rent.

Not forgetting of course that they are "just like any other young couple with a baby" yeah right!

They may not always be a family of three. Perhaps they expect to have a few more. It would be a pity if wee Georgie were to be an only child.
