    What would you have in a realistic dream home if that makes sense?

    I'd have an enclosed (and roofed seeing how it's Ireland) courtyard with access to some of the rooms surrounding it. I like the idea of sitting outside having a coffee in the morning without wind or rain.

    This design I would go with in a circular design of a house, aka a lighthouse with a covered glass atrium.

    very easy to make airtight as no external corners.:D

    And an absolute nightmare to blocklay and detail structurally CH!

    Good light, well laid out internal spaces (some double height if possible), non-overlooked site, good broadband, smart electronic controls, well ventilated, mature gardens, ..... etc. etc. - the list goes on:

    Also on dreamier days: An internal warmed swimming pool with three fully glazed walls, panoramic views, massive garage with car collection ... and a big safe for my euromillions!

    ..so you already have a supermodel girlfriend?
    ...but you want her sister also - that's just greedy.

    Ideal/dream/fantasy..

    Dream and fantasy would make for a long post so will go with one thing I'd have liked if could afford. With young kids indoors a lot in Ireland I think it would be great to have a large (very) room purely for them to play around in out of harms way. I'm thinking large enough for bouncy castle even, and pool. Exercise - box ticked, happy kids - box ticked, happy wife...box ticked provided I could afford the same size room again for her clothes.

    Truth be told, I'd probably spend a lot of time in the bouncy castle myself.

    Tall ceilings (but not cavernous). Good natural lighting - not too much direct/overhead, more subtle and all-day through the house. Interesting lines of sight and spaces (other than the bog) which can be closed off - who wants to listen to the activity of others all day long? A shed/workshop/man cave and somewhere similar for my wife. A mature garden: not huge but not a patio neither. Snug and warm: either by having a job that can heat a BER G or by good insulation.
