New "Have a Look at This" thread

od244051

The other one has disappeared and any posts I have made are not listed in either my posts or thanks.

This thread is for things like:
. Spotting pets in properties
. Anything awful - decor, extensions etc
. Quirky properties
. Timewarp properties
. Properties in serious repair
and anything which is different and of interest to us


I start the thread off with one which I featured in the previous thread. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-72334807.html

The Hyacinth Bucket house as some posters commented on. What's with the floral wallpaper on the ceiling on pic 3?

Maybe the old one got too big and has been cleared out prior to the forum move?
I don't imagine we'll be told though.

Hate these stupid baths which are difficult to get in/out and clean.

Not come across a jack n jill walk in wardrobe before

Street view is interesting. It's the one with the oddly sloped front walls . I can't say I'm terribly impressed with the result of what must have been an expensive renovation.

I thought that was interesting. Very difficult to use the space in such a long thin property (originally 4 cottages)

Never mind that... It's like the house is watching you...


The other one, the Fordingbridge "secret drinker" - that's bloody lovely.

Why are they called "Jack and Jill" anyway? According to the nursery rhyme they didn't even have running water, never mind a shared en suite bathroom.

My inlaws met because of hotel rooms with a shared "JnJ" bathroom...

He hadn't paid for an en-suite, and was trying to pick the lock. She thought there were mice...

Probably just as well he wasn't very good at picking locks.

Street view shows it being re-thatched and also shows a major problem with the area. It can get a bit wet.
