Thought I'd start off a new thread as the other one was getting to be pretty long. The old thread can be found here.
How about starting up a thread dedicated to the interesting properties that we come across in our searches ?
I'm guessing these guys don't invite their granny over to watch TV

Don't understand why - pleasant house, bit dated admittedly, but I guess it may be a bit overpriced"Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it" Einstein 19510 -

Hmm depends what your after, It's full of cheap shops has a market on a week day and at the weekend easy to get to M25 London etc and easy to get to coast Airport etc...

As in the area it's alright, I have a friend who lives in Merstham up the road on the "rough" estate which in my eye's doesn't look "rough" seen rougher! She's had no problems....Aspiring to be financially independent.... from my parents!0 -

It's about 5mins from my house in a not so great area and is DOUBLE the price of anything else on that street
For the same price and in a much better area (just 5 or so mins away) you can have this...

What a strange property, looks like 2 council houses joined together from the outside, and a care home on the inside. The decimal point must be in the wrong place.0 -

What a bizarre property. It does indeed look like a stretch council house. The inside is weird too - spend £800k and you get that kitchen!!0 -

I like the way they've used different colour bricks on the extension to those of the original house. Classy.
The bars make it look like Woodhill prison.0 -

I posted a lengthy reply to question by PM.
Merstham is considered the 'bad' part of Redhill but one of my estate agents lived there and they usually know and he said it was ok and whenever I go through there it looks rather quaint but I do only see the main road.
Merstham is North of Redhill. The house in question is West between Redhill and Reigate which tends to be the most popular (expensive!!) part. South is Earlswood where I live which I think is very nice with good housing stock. There isn't really an East - it gets quite rural East!!
As for a 'decent shop' I presume you mean non-food as there is a good sized Sainsburys. There is Croydon north and Crawley south and trains take c35 mins into Victoria so you can be on Oxford Street in 45 mins should you wish.0 -
