"Picturesque views" of the steel works, not to mention the smell!

Actually, the industrial area is very pretty...........when it's lit up at night!
There's also quite a decent sandy beach, with dunes, at Kenfig; one of the area's better kept secrets.

Er.... so just how smooth is a bishops ball sack? Any ex-choir boys out there able to enlighten?

I remember this guy being in the local paper a while ago. He is taking a different approach to selling houses as just telling it as it is. I think people know he's not wasting their time with the airy fairy descriptions other EA use. If you can't swing a cat he says so!! I like it!

Now that I "get" it, so do I! I would very likely go with him, too.

Been on the market for ages, (mind you, so has mine!) I see the agent has won an award. If they sell this near the asking price, they deserve it too.

I honestly try not to judge a place by the decor, but I simply couldn't live in that place, I'd have the screaming heebee jeebies within 24 hours. It's absolutely and completely horrible.

I love this description, despite the awful apostrophe:

Some places just sing. From the fireplaces to the expensive replacement sash windows this house reverberates to it's own special tune. If it were an instrument it would be a trumpet and be able to blow itself. Two bedrooms of C major Glory. £130,000

and this is great:

Situated in the heart of this wonderful and vibrant town. Lovely example of a Victorian town house with four bedrooms, garden and a rear access. Suit clean and tidy middle aged hippy with peculiar and alternative habits. £165,000

I wouldn't have been that happy as the seller of this place:

Some poor sod is going to end up buying this place. You know the sort, sensible shoes (probably Clarks Commandos), card evenings, shepards pie and a quick roll on a Wednesday night. £170,000

or this one.

We've had 35 viewings in 3 months at this monster. Everybody likes it but no one has been keen enough to talke the plunge owing to the gruesome styling. Current owners have held with unswerving devotion to the original and grim late 70s conversion complete with Avocado suite. Suit either imaginative, slim and gorgeous interior designer or long haired 1970s devotee with collection of Yes records or Princess who doesn't mind kissing the beast in case it turns into a Prince.
All sensible offers considered

But looking at this one would make me chuckle:

It's so nice, occasionally, to see a house that hasn't been B&Q'ed. Lots of original features like panel doors, sash windows, stripped floors, fireplaces etc.. Suit the sort of person who would gladly trade creature comforts like shag pile carpet for draughty old sash windows. £169,950

and this is just classic:

Ideally suited to a member of the shop-a-holic faith, who wants access to the great consumer temple at Cribbs Causeway where hard cash can be exchanged for the warm feeling you get when you spend what you haven’t got on something you don’t want.

Sorry, I think it now has your name against it on Property Bee! (at the bottom.) m00m00 is there as well. :rotfl:

You should be honoured; I don't seem to have my name (which is entirely different from the one I use here) against anything on P Bee. In fact I'm not sure how one does 'find' a property, apart from viewing it on Rightmove via Firefox, of course.

Whatever we think of it, the house has obviously been loved and cared for, which is what all houses deserve. However, I'm minded of my nephew and his mates, who have lavished similar time, attention and many, many hundreds (thousands?) of £ on their customised cars, producing something unique but, ultimately, difficult to sell on.
