I dunno..maybe i expect to much but for me,it doesnt look like a house worth £309k.

The initial photo,,i thought the house looked quite stark with its bright white colour.

The lounge photo is dark and grim.

Estate agents take rubbish photos.

I once took my own photos and they point blank refused to use them even though theres was carp and mine were brilliant. Thats the arrogance of them you see.

It looks stark because we have recently repainted it white - what colour should it be?

Agree that the particulars need a floor plan, to lose most of the capital letters and to make use of the 'return' key. Living area photo is take from a rubbish angle and height - it's mainly a picture of the sofas. Ditto the kitchen, it's mainly a picture of your appliances. The downstairs rooms are confusingly multi-functional, can you put all the music stuff together? There are too many places to sit and eat - two dining tables plus a garden table, yet nothing in the massive kitchen.

The point of a conservatory is to relax and enjoy the garden but you have a table football game in there and not a dining table or comfortable seating. Front garden has no greenery and the back is only green - any chance of some shrubs and flowers in large pots and troughs to brighten then up given it is June? Upstairs is great, doesn't need changing.

Conservatory - I agree
Garden is just about to flower up as the veges are just coming up - front has flowers now in the pots and flowering baskets.

We tried to have a living/dining room and a kitchin/dining room and the feedback from the 2nd viewing was that we hadnt a seperate om - so now the table from the kitchen is in the revamped dining room. You see everyone wants something different!!! where the hell do I start? I wish I had a bog standard new build box to be honest

I mean !!!!!! - people get confused about where to eat - is that real?

Hulahoops

We changed what was the dining room from a family room to a proper dining room from feedback - we have an area for dining in the back end of the lounge, in the conservatory, in the kitchen (up the end the pic doesn't show) and in the dining room all have spaxe for a big family table - where am I going wrong?

Just read - need to show peeps how to sit in the conservatory. Not enough there is a mahoosive house I need to show how there furniture would look. More fool me for looking at houses as an investment AND a home and working out howe things would work - I now have to imagine how it would work for strangers

In many ways your house stops being your home the day you put it on the market. It becomes every potential buyers potential dream home and they need to be able to fall in love with it. Most buyers don't want a house with four dining areas, they might aspire the lifestyle of having a music room (or area). You don't have to imagine how it would work for strangers, isn't that why you asked us for comments?

Some potential buyers have zero imagination, don't you watch property !!!!!!? I wouldn't want to eat at the end of the living area due to the office space. Moving furniture around is no different to tidying up and cleaning. Developers don't go to all the trouble of a showhome for nothing, it makes cold hard cash.
