Bedroom size

I expect it will still be standing long after a new build has fallen down.

Stick to fishing boyo, lol.

Old houses might be standing longer, but I bet they also have had the timbers replaced more often! (based on sample of 2 houses).

Depends on how old, you mean. My 1955 has had no structural timber replaced, apart from where it was essential for the remodelling, skirtings and architraves.

But yeah, 6'6" x 4'9" is tiny. My bungalow's 3rd bedoom was 236cm square (7'8''ish), and that seems tiny - it's now a shower room. Only really large enough for a single bed, small bedside and small wardrobe.

Main bedroom, has space for double bed, a full width built-in wardrobe I built, two bedside drawers, a large set of drawers, chair and wash basket. There is plenty of space left, to walk around the bed.

Second bedroom, has double bed, two chests of drawers, two small wardrobes, one bedside. This room was made a little smaller, during the remodelling, to accommodate a larger airing cupboard/bathroom.

Small bedroom, originally had space for a single/bunk bed, and a wardrobe, and an over-stair built in cupboard - but I use it as a workroom, office.

The beams and most of the joists in my cottage are original. ( sample of 1 cottage recorded as approx 500 years old )

I’ve been repairing the sash windows from 1800s (and some horrible metal casements in timber sub frames)

Blimey, how old are you!

You been repairing them since the 1800s!! Lol

Hardly an indication of slum conditions though.

I mean, you're overrun with the things from time to time......
