Hello,
I probably have a typical single-person problem. I want to buy a house and already have a specific one in mind. But like most houses, this one is also too large. I would have 3 rooms and 2 bathrooms “left over.” There is also a 40m² (430 sq ft) utility room. On the ground floor, I can imagine taking down a wall to connect the bathroom with the kitchen to create a larger kitchen. However, since the house is listed (heritage protected), that probably won’t be allowed, right?
Otherwise, everything fits well with this house, and since I’m generally only looking in an area with about 20,000 residents and want a large garden plus an outbuilding, it’s very unlikely that I’ll find a smaller house.
So, what do you do with too much space?
Best regards,
Chris

Well, why does it have to be a house when the chances of finding something suitable are practically zero? Why not just go for a condominium instead?
The question is rhetorical; I really don't need an answer (especially not in the form of 20 passive-aggressive counterquestions). I guess you, @ TE, can probably figure that out quietly for yourself.

So, because I was once a child too, am I supposed to set up a playroom now??
No, you should simply reconsider your harsh statement "I hate children." Generally, when someone says they hate another person, it implies they wish no good for them. Earlier, you also responded with the term "nonsense," which was not exactly friendly. Both expressions reflect poorly on how you interact with others here, many of whom have only tried to help you selflessly. A more polite tone is not too much to ask. Unfortunately, this gets lost far too often online. The tone really sets the mood here as well.
You mentioned having a hobby workshop, and I thought it might be related to your artistic activities. That’s why I suggested it. It turned out to be incorrect, but you haven’t provided much information about your hobbies, profession, or other details that would allow for more personalized ideas. I could also suggest things like a hot tub, sauna, ball pit, music room, and so on, but that wouldn’t really help you either.
An 85m² (915 sq ft) house is relatively small, so the options are limited. However, there is quite a bit of room to maneuver between 85 and 170m² (915 and 1,830 sq ft). Around 110m² (1,185 sq ft) you can find quite a variety, at least in our area. These houses are often more affordable because they are usually too small for most (families), meaning there is less demand.

AngelusNoctis13 Jun 2016 20:55The hobby workshop would already be located on the ground floor. I don’t need two workshops.
For an area of around 110 sqm (1,184 sq ft), I do find suitable houses, but the issue is that many of these houses are divided into two levels and usually have a steep spiral staircase. I’m not able to manage that kind of stairs. In general, the ground floor area should be quite spacious. That means we’re more looking at a bungalow. However, most bungalows are found in new development areas or more expensive neighborhoods, which I want to avoid.
