Eastham Close Site: Houses

These two controversial ‘small’ 1B type houses are located next to 9 Lytton Close. The size of the living room is approximately 20’ x 11’. Kitchen 10’ x 11’. Down stairs hall & toilet area 10’ x 10’. The Bedrooms are each 10’ x 11’. On the ground floor there is no coat room or obvious place to hang up your hat, coat or umbrella. There is also no Closet to store brushes, mops bucket/bowl, ironing board, vacuumed cleaner, tools or garden tools. Oddly, these two small houses are supposed to be connected to the EnviroEnergy District Heating Scheme yet the detailed house plans show no radiators in any of the rooms!

By comparison I live in a one-bed flat, the size of the living room is approximately 16’ x 13’. Kitchen 10’ x 15’. Bedroom 14’ x 14’ and bathroom 10’ x 8’. My 3 seat settee is 3’ x 7’. My double bed is 8’ x 6’. I also have a coat room 8’ x 4’. A closet 8’ x  6’ and a drying cabinet 3’ x 3’ because my flat IS connected to the District Heating Scheme. I also have radiators in all of the main rooms including the hallway.
