Ken , you and me are going to fall out
, "much bigger than they are given credit for " a 2 up 2 down is
4 rooms , (unless there is a built on back kitchen) , the back bedroom has probably had a 60s grant which halved the size of the back bedroom , okay if you have 2/3 children of the same sex and you put them in bunk beds and want them to live like rats in a cage till one of them is old enough to leave home , think the days of families with four or five or more kids who went to Sunday Mass or Sunday school are long gone and what was acceptable then isn't now.
Lets not even get onto the size of the backyards which now under local dictats are required to hold 4 or 5 different 'dustbins' , or 2 bins and 3 recycling box's/bags indoors.
Be interesting to hear from Accy web users of a certain age who were raised in the 40/50s in multiple kid households how they managed the space in a 2 up 2 down
