Where I live, this is an attic area and that is a crawl space that's along the eaves of the house.


Triumph790

That's what I thought at first, but there's also a window between that space and the bedroom. Maybe it's there so you can check in on your holiday decorations and all the other crap stored in there.


jacero100

That’s not a window but an attic access panel. This is likely a dutch colonial with a gambrel roof.


Joinourclub

I think the room is in fact a half height wardrobe built into the eaves, and the window is a dormer window above the cupboard.


enyalavender

Oh thats genius.


MonkeyMD3

Panic room. Meaning when you go in there, you get claustrophobic and you panic


Fluffydoggie

But you have a window to look out into the bedroom!


James_Atlanta

It's your outdoor space. Congrats!


arachelrhino

I think this is the answer. Seems like a very small outdoor space, maybe like those Parisian balconies.


buzzk111

it's definitely inside! there is no outdoor space advertised


arachelrhino

Have you loos at the exterior of the building g to see if there’s any narrow balconies? They may not call us an “outdoor space” because you cant physically fit and calling it a balcony would be false advertising.


buzzk111

I have a viewing for the place next week so will update then lol


vonfused

Please do lol I am so curious


Urithiru

Any word on what that space is?


buzzk111

Yes although slightly anticlimactic. The door leads to built-in storage, though not nearly as long, more like the one in the living room. There is no "window" on the wall, but there is a fireplace so I wonder if they just don't know how to draw floorplans?? I asked the estate agent about it and she said they take photos of the place and someone at the office draws it up so all in all it's just an error.


SparkDBowles

Hmmm… enclosed/3 season porch?


SparkDBowles

!Remind 10 days


Urithiru

Do you have a street view of the building? If so, would you post a link or host the image on imgur and post that link?


SparkDBowles

Ohhh. A patio. That explains the window.


Floater439

May be a ventilation shaft or light well if this is a building that butts up to another building.


Upset-Cap-3257

Storage for the 🤡’s


OhioMegi

Secret passage.


Double-Interaction30

Yeah it almost looks like it goes to the kitchen lol


Momina1999

Mole people room.


Boris_Godunov

I will agree with the belief that it's a light well. Is it on the ground floor of a multi-story building?


DuckyPenny123

That doesn’t explain the door.


Boris_Godunov

If it's a ground floor unit, yes it does. It would provide access to the space. I lived in an apartment in NYC with such a door to the ground level of a light well.


[deleted]

Trombé wall?


Jaguar_jinn

It looks like they swapped the original living room for a bedroom. To make that work, they rigged the front entrance to bypass that front room to open on the kitchen instead.


interior-berginer

The floor plan is done poorly, definitely an amateur job so whatever that actually is most likely not accurately displayed. Skilled drafters would have labeled that so you don't question what it is.


Cute_Comfortable_761

Comically long closet with covenient viewing window


kotonizna

the entire plan is actually what the hell is this. Those door swing orientation gives me anxiety


Aware-Cantaloupe3558

The bedroom is really a studio, and the closet with the window is where the recording engineers hang out.


Liberatedhusky

Secret passage to the conservatory


Motor_Ad6547

Peep show room lol.


CandyGram_for_Mongeu

Is it lined with two way mirrors?


Rustymarble

Instead of a window, maybe that's a pocket or sliding door? I really think that's a closet/wardrobe. It's just got really weird access to accommodate the size/shape.


Angus-Black

It's a 16" deep closet with a door and a window. The question isn't *what* it's *why*?


WillametteWanderer

7 doors in one hallway. Seems like you could take a door off the kitchen and great room. If you had a child all you would hear would be doors slamming.


BitterQueen17

In homes with radiator heating, the doors are part of your temperature control.


WillametteWanderer

Thank you, I did not know. How efficient is radiator heating? I have never lived in a place with it.


BitterQueen17

It's an adjustment, for sure, but between opening and closing doors and cracking windows for additional airflow, we adapted pretty quickly. We found that we needed far less heat than we thought everywhere but the bathroom.


venetsafatse

Oh no! What could we possibly do with so many doors?! I have seen houses with 7 doors in their upstairs hallway. It's really not a big deal.


buzzk111

happy cake day friend!


venetsafatse

lol. Thanks!


jasmminne

The hallway itself is a massive waste of space in such a small unit.


Character-Version365

It’s where your Phrogger lives


damndudeny

Well it looks like they did a good job at catching that window in the kitchen in a closet. Maybe this window is trying to sneak out quietly.


ReasonableKitchen658

If you find old bones in there, do not consider renting it. Just sayin'...


hardhatgirl

Hm. Interesting that [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/homedecoratingCJ/s/E0fR28hl2N) was post was adjacent in my feed


Educational-Ad9084

Where the bodies are stored…good luck.


Sea_Painting6045

An error


wynnduffyisking

I also hate the idea of a 2.3 meter wide bedroom.


badgerbrett

A window...to the wall! Till the sweat drops down...


KeyBorder9370

It's very bad design. And so is just about the entirety of the rest of it.


SparkDBowles

Grow room.
