Gorgeous house! I'd take it off your hands if I had a spare quarter-mil lying around and a sudden desire to move to Corby!:D

Slight aside, but you have the same kitchen I had in my old apartment! Only I can't believe the developers put it in a house as nice as yours! It was so cheap and rubbish!:(

OK, I'll warn you I don't hold back on these......

Exterior; Why, oh why could nobody have removed the THREE wheelie bins from the photo? Do you REALLY want to show off your wheelie bins?

Also, the picture's squint. Because it's a tall house, and the photographer has a low viewpoint, it suffers from what photographers call 'converging verticals' or somesuch..... solution - take the photo from a higher vantage point. Stepladders on the other side of the road, opposite neighbour's upstairs window, that sort of thing.

Picture 2 - close the door so we can see the kitchen. Find a better viewpoint showing less of the plain wall down the RHS, and more of the Dining Table, thus losing the black thing at the right. And take down the portrait from the wall next to the table.

Picture 3 - the footstool looks silly in the middle of the floor, like it wants to be a coffee table when it grows up. Turn the far away armchair just a little toward the camera and put the footstool in front of it. Change the angle so that the arms of the sofa don't appear in the bottom of the picture. Is that a fan on top of the bookshelves? An electric fan? Do you need that there for the photo?

Picture 4 - terrible angle, straight on to the sofa, and showing the open door and part of the room beyond.

Pic 5 - wouldn't it look better with the dining table in the middle of the room, rather than half-hidden behind the sliver of kitchen unit that the photographer managed to include?

Pic 6 - wouldn't it look better with those sofas in front of the TV, and the dining table out in the open, rather than hunched up against the wall?

Pic 8 - it looks as though you haven't made the bed.

Pic 9 - what on earth is going on with leaving the doors open? Why leave the en-suite door open to show JUST THE CLUDGIE? Why leave the other door open?

Pic 10 - pick a better angle without the sliver of door at the left, and wouldn't it look better with just one chair at the desk? De-clutter the green thing at the right, and the stuff on top of the unit at the left.

Pic 11 - move the chair

Pic 12 - a right notch-potch - no attempt to arrange the chairs, they're all over the place. Why didn't you put the parasol up? At least then, it might have hidden the basketball hoop...... come to think of it, how many of your potential buyers will WANT a basketball hoop? Do you think it makes the photo look better, or worse? Why not try the photo without it? And, same as the front photo - IT'S SQUINT!

Get Lord Lichfield over here!:D

Fair points though, I'm very OCD and would have to meticulously staqe all of my pictures!

It's a lot more expensive than other houses very near by. Can't think of any other issues.

Include the photo with the floor plans, that way prospective buyers can see that there are 2 en-suites.

Include a photo of the terrace (and maybe get them to take a photo of the living room from the terrace) and a photo of the view from the terrace if it's any good.

Around my area they have started to advertise your style of house as a 4/5 bedroom house, thinking that buyers could turn the 1st floor living room into a bedroom I guess.

Would post more but laptop battery about to die!

Overall well presented and clutter free, niggly things I would want the doors shut on pic 2 and especially 9 as the two doors open look a little awkward. I have to say pic 13 made me giggle, do you have some interesting neighbours we should know about?:D

It's a pity that pic 14 (the rear garden from the patio) emphasises how built up the estate is. Most of the photo shows the houses that overlook the garden and makes me concious of the lack of privacy and of being hemmed in. Is there a better vantage point for the photographer to take a view of the garden itself rather than the skyline?

Good luck!

Whats the electrical equipment on the balcony with flex going through wall. Also what is on the wall inside the house Is this some sort of heating system?

We're just starting to go through Rightmove for a potential move and the one of the first things I look at is the floorplan.

Am also put off by the impression of a built up area. Is it possible for the first picture to be repeated without showing the two houses next door and so close? Also the garden shots and the one out of the window show buildings very close. If there's lots of similar properties around I'd be viewing the ones which appear to have lots of space.

The inside is well presented to my mind

Good luck.

Looks cramped and dingy with that very dark suite in the lounge, back garden isn't attractive, obviously overlooked by neighbours, is a pervert using the telescope for peeping?

I'd be asking why you're moving, as it looks like a newbuild.
