    That's puzzling. Do the grounds of the house run behind the next-door-neighbours? On satellite view it's hard to see what belongs to whom.

    I hadn't noticed the outbuilding, looks like maybe a kennel or cattery but if it is I think it's a breeder rather than boarding facility because I sort of know the area and I've never heard of boarding in that area

    No there is a fence between them but next door has a very small garden in comparison, also like seems to be quite common with the land used for a lot of new builds it backs on to a social housing estate and while it is far from the worst one around there are certainly some residents who you wouldn't want to live that close to.

    This is a lovely house, but does anyone else get the impression the photographer forgot to sort his photos out before uploading them (pics 9 and 17)?

    I'm also not convinced by the print above the TV in the conservatory (pic 15); it would be too much of a distraction to me.

    I feel sorry for the child who gets the top bunk.

    It's very close to our favourite beach. :)

    How...... random!

    You name a home leisure facility and they've got it then? I guess they don't like going out much then....

    But I'd like that sauna personally - as I'm always surprised just how few British homes have one (as I certainly would if I had a house big enough for one).

    Why someone with such a lovely house as this http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-61004756.html would make the sitting room (pic 5) look so hideous is beyond me :eek:

    Those wardrobes make me think it was originally being used as another bedroom, until someone told them to 'stage it' as a lounge and stick some armchairs in.

    If you look on the floorplan it has a lounge but for some reason there is no photo of it.

    I think it's possibly where Granny lives, daytime. The 50s/60s cupboards suggest it might have been a utility area originally.
