No porch but we do have a conservatory which is basically a 7m x 2.5m storage bay for coats, shoes & damp bike clothes.
I'm feeling left out because I don't have a porch, a downstairs toilet or a spare bedroom.

Well I don't have a porch but I do have a downstairs toilet (formally the coal shed/larder) & the only bedroom that is spare is full of drying washing & a through floor lift?
I'm feeling reet posh!
Porch for Barbour & leather country boots
Downstairs loo
Drying room
Back boot room for dirty dogs
Finally, just installed 2 dishwashers in my new kitchen
I keep pop and beer in ours as it's nice and cool.
How does Pop feel about this?
Chilled.

Me too. Although porch / hallway / entrance / vestibule seem to be interchangeable descriptions. Therefore I do have s downstairs loo. Although it has grass, a car, isn’t weatherproof and isn’t advisable for taking a dump in 🙂
Our porch had been added on at some point, it's a single skin brick/block affair. Our hallway/vestibule is tiny so I can see why it was added on.
Just for the record have a downstairs loo, a "sun*" room and 2 spare rooms. Ay iz wel posh.
*In Cumbria! Ha!
Twenty years from now, veranda's will be all the rage.
(Global warming, etc)
The cat spends a lot of time in ours. Watching. And plotting.
They say cats don't have facial expressions but ours does a pretty good WTF if anyone tries to go in or out

I have all of those. But then I do live in a bungalow and have fewer children.
The porch remains empty. Remarkably it’s the one “room” Mrs North has yet to fill with clutter....

My porch. 4 of my pairs of wellys on display. Apparently that's unreasonable 🙄 One coat tree thingy made of sticks and antlers covered in tatty wax cotton. Floor littered in drying cycling shoes. That's unreasonable as well. But the settee or chair that she wants in it isn't! Why FFS? The postie chucks the mail on the floor and we get no visitors.
I see it as a good place for chainsaws as well.
That hot tub hunting pic reminds me of my dad who used to take the 12 bore with him to his hot tub. For some reason the rabbits and pheasants didn't notice him steaming away there and made easy targets.
So we put up hooks for the kids and some at adult height too. Kids use it, I use it, Mrs S has put a couple of coats in it but has also left a few on the one in the hall. She doesn't like the look of it from the outside of the house (through obscure glass) but having 2 coats looking lost inside the house is fine! 🙄
I'm going to give it some time so she gets used to the porch hooks and I can persuade her to put her other ones on there too and we can lose the rack in the hall.
We have an multifunctional porch, crapper in the corner, spare bed against the wall and drying rack in the middle.
Nah, actually we don't, just a front door.
Space for a bike rack?and we can lose the rack in the hall.
Rear porch (main entrance into cottage) is used for shoes, dog leads etc,. but also has a large cupboard used as a larder
Front porch is open and used for garden shoes, large light and other stuff for going out in garden when it is wet/dark/cold
(Notice how casually I say have I have TWO porches)
So we put up hooks for the kids
That's a bit cruel. You should let them have their own bedrooms.
No porch here at the moment, but it is something I'm looking to do in the future..
One fridge freeze
One tumble drier
One central heating boiler (see other thread)
One ammunition cabinet. (nothing to do with us - was there when we moved in. gets used to hold spare light bulbs and things like that)
Lots of clobber.
We don't use that door anymore!
I'm looking forward to finally having a porch. Will revisit this thread for ideas of what to put in it..
Old house of 12 years didn't, new house has a 4.5m x 2.5m porch and a spare bedroom, boot room/utility [i]and[/i] a conservatory 😀
Chest freezer and a tumble dryer in ours
Don't slam the yale locked inner door shut before checking you have the key to the outer door. That day I discovered that I could put my hand through the letter box to open the yale lock.
Milk deliveries, gas meter. Money tree plant in the summer and this year a surprisingly successful bell pepper plant.
