    I do live just outside the Blackpool area but must admit I have never seen these before. And the worrying thing is, I showed them to my partner when he got home from work, he loved them!
    Say's it's better than the usual boring brick work.

    That's me told ha.

    You pass them as you drive down Seasiders Way - near the Travelodge and the Football Ground.

    The colour scheme wouldn't actually put me off wanting to buy it. :)But the downstairs bathroom and the £144,950 asking price would. :(

    Looks harmless enough, doesn't it? ;)

    Perhaps it's just too... err...average? Normal, even. No distinguishing features.
    Maybe people who view, forget about it as soon as they leave.
