Recently i went to view a 5 bedroom, 3 storey house and while looking around on the top level noticed a small door and had a look.

Behind was 2 unvented (Gledhill i think) 120L cylinders.

There was also 2 white expansion vessels and also a red expansion vessel?

Does anyone know how this setup works as i have no idea

How many bathrooms? Wouldn't be a massive surprise if the master ensuite is served by 1 cylinder, everything else by the other or some similar setup to avoid the kitchen tap/cold shower sketch
 
White is for fresh water and red for CH system water - the water in the rads.
 
It's quite normal to have multiple cylinders where the increased capacity is required but perhaps there isn't sufficient height etc.
Look in the manuals...they will give examples of the plumbing required.

There wasnt enough height for a big cylinder hence doubling up two small ones. Bit lean though most big houses have 400 or 500 ltr unventeds.
