‘’Despite the generous size of the house’

I lived in Britain. Americans have no idea of the size of house that most Europeans live in. Our house was 730 sq ft........larger than my SIL’s house and she had two kids. My in-law’s home was about 1200 sq ft and it was considered large.

That’s the impression I got when I used to watch Coronation Street. I would feel very claustrophobic watching several people in one of their little homes.

I had about a month or so in a british house. All the dimensions are smaller. Got moved to on base housing for the remaining two months and the dimensions were much more normal, american size.

This American does. We just don’t want to live in closets.
