They really don't like gardening round there, do they? Do you think the flat patch of grass in the back garden is where they removed the body of the former resident?

Maybe that's what's (who's) in the tent?

when i moved into my current house the garden was very overgrown, so much that we unearthed two belfast sinks and a bench...

There are many poor areas in Cornwall, this road's one of them. Drive along on a summer holiday, glance up at the stone cottages and think "oooooh!!!". Then you see how they're living and you think "eeeeewww!"

Thats nothing.


When I moved into my home I unearthed 2 Belfast sinks, a bench & a 1964 Morris Minor with a Scottish drunk idiot sitting in it who had been squatting there since 1965 when he first heard it would be worth something one day......

See the man in the door..

Sometimes on Streetview it pays to pan round and see what's on the other side of the road.

I don't care for all the steps to the door, because that could become an issue with accident/illness for anyone who you have living there. Don't like the wall at the front either. The prospect of having to maintain it over the years, with it looking to hold in a big chunk of garden.

Interesting - so have prices in Cormwall generally fallen by 40% since 2006?

Or have the chap in the doorway and his mate next door actually taken 30 - 40% off the value of the house since then? :eek:

Either way, I think there is a moral to be drawn there for would-be-BTL landlords...
