    Isn't it even weirder than all that...

    Look at picture 10. Isn't that the pond on the right side of the photo, surrounded by a wooden fence? (If you look at picture 11, you can see one of the fence posts sticking up in the bottom right corner of the photo). Presumably, they put the fence there to stop children falling in. Which begs the question...

    Why is there a giant trampoline right next to it?! Safety first or what?!

    Simple, if you're gonna fall off a trampoline what could be a safer landing than into water.... you big silly!!

    Just don't inhale on landing.

    Alternatively you could hit the fence positioned at mid-width of the pond, wind yourself and then fall in.

    It's not a pond at all, it's a jacuzzi :D The trampoline is there so you can get into it, over the fence. You just have to aim for your half of it, avoid the dividing fence, and hey, presto! Just imagine the parties you could have :eek:
  • Anybody notice the sloping bathroom floor in pic 4? Since the skirting board seems to be parallel to the window ledge, it looks like the floor slopes. Or is it another effect of the estate agents' weird fisheye lenses?

    I think it's the waste pipe from the basin which is has a slope.
