I'm thinking of the functionality we will require of the new house. Starting at the front door, we want to have the various meters outside, and accessible by meter readers. Whilst discussing things over the weekend, we decided we want a porch that will provide an 'air lock' (a place to trap warm air and act as a buffer to the outside. This will also be a place where delivery people can leave parcels. It will be unlocked most of the time, but can be locked when needed. Another function of the porch will be a place to store boots, wellies and umbrellas - the wet muddy things we don't want in the house.
The porch opens out into a hall. My norm is to take my shoes and coat off as soon as I enter the house. I would like this to be the norm for everyone who enters the house. A bench, with guest slippers and storage for shoes will be there, space to hang coats, and areas/boxes for hats, scarves and gloves. Oh, and a door to the sitting room and a stair case to the upper floor.
