O/ours is tiny as well.
O/our 'summer house,' which was originally the outside toilet/wash house, isn't too bad but O/our lounge is so small that the only way that W/we could fit in a (very small) double couch and armchair was to place said chair in front of the front door (which opens into the lounge), seal up the letter box on the front door, and put a mail box next to the
back door (which leads into the kitchen). Great, except now W/we have to climb over said chair to turn the wall lights on and off...but at least W/We have somewhere to sit.
As to basements, no, no basement. W/we do, however, have a loft (what you'd call an attic). Which is actually quite neat because it means that W/we'll never find O/ourselves locked out of the house. Why? Because O/ours is the last in a row of attached cottages, all of which share one collective loft (which was brilliant in the old days when smuggling was rife in the area and the smugglers could disappear into one house and exit from another). And yes, it
has been known in more recent times for one of the neighbours to knock on the door of another and ask ''I've forgotten my key. Mind if I climb into your loft so I can crawl along into mine and from there get into my house?''
Weird.
