    It looked expensive to me anyway - paid only a small amount more for a 4-bed detached in the south-east. Oop north I assumed that would cost about £3.50. :p

    Ooooh, harsh! ;) Actually, have to agree that it is expensive in that I've seen much bigger and bettr ones for less and in nicer parts of the city too.

    I must admit if I lived in a house like that it would make me laugh all day every day. Could be more effective than AD's :D

  • 200K for a terrace near Tuerbrook?

    Pass.
  • It looks like it was furnished by a couple with diametrically different tastes. Fluffywomankins in all of the rooms and blokey was only allowed a say in the bathroom, hence it looks like one of Hugh Hefner's on a bad day some time back in the 70s. Or an Albanian-run brothel/"sauna".

    From the outside it looks like a perfectly nice house and probably will be once all that ghastly furniture and bathroom carp is torn out.

    Excellent - I'd been meaning (and then forgot) to start a tacky house thread after my partner found this:

    The chandelier in the kitchen is our fave bit - think the present owner is perhaps not very tall. Is knee-level microwave the new version of "eye-level grill"?
