Nope. No additional storage...

Seems to me if I buy a house it should be like I bought bank space but that's now my own bank.

There is currently no way to store items in houses except for designated furniture items. Weapons, armour, crafting materials etc. cannot be placed in a house (or in containers within a house) at all.

ZOS have said they might add storage at some point in the future but we don't know when that will be or how that storage system will work.

Housing in mmos tends to be vanity. Sometimes you have games that give 'vendors' but it is almost always vanity. Bank space is already accout wide so they dont need more account wide space. MMORPGs need limited space, hoarding is a waste of server memory

Hoarded items in bank is not in memory its on drives unless loaded, then you enter the house the server need to load your house and all the furniture with its placement.
Then you leave the house the server can drop it from memory.
An piece of gear takes up perhaps 20 byes 50 if done inefficient and with room for expansion so stick with 50.
Crafting mats is just object id and counter. so 4 bytes, so much better with crafting bags, for ZoS that is
say 250 items in player bank and an alt. 12.5 KB

Let say 50 for furniture too, no stats but it need to store house ID and position.
How large is your inventory,
Mansion is 350 items= 17.5 KB, combine with with player for 30KB, Now multiply this with number of players, lets assume Morrowind sells very good, 30KB x 10 Million is 300 GB.
Now this is stored in an database you need lots of indexes and you also have lots of gaps so say 3TB.

Limiting storage space is obsolete the same way save spots in games are, it was needed back on super Nintendo as you only had a few byte as save space.
Now reducing memory use is another issue and don't apply much for housing as they are an separate instance so then in house you are not doing an dungeon who had to be held in memory too.
