Agree with Doozergirl, it is lovely and the tree-lined street looks gorgeous too. Oh and it has a stable block too, I'd love that just for the randomness of it. Edinburgher is right though, you could well end up in a bidding war which would just be more upsetting if you started to set your heart on it then lost out.2011: [STRIKE]Houses[/STRIKE], [STRIKE]weddings[/STRIKE], [STRIKE]cats[/STRIKE]

It's better to have loved and lost than never have loved at all!Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

run.......the roof and chimney breasts.. and as for the ivy,well the damage it does is amazing.....windows? whats the white stuff running down the roof and why is it there..
and your neighbours can not afford to replace the broken windows.....bewareIt is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.0 -
Personally I don't think it looks like anything special or a bargain (bearing in mind it's in Hull). But then I live in part of the world where you can buy something like this http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-33685739.html0

No, not doing it for me. It has the wrong "original" features and it's much, much smaller.Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

I was getting ready to slate it but I can't do it - it's gorgeous. A house like that would cost about £1m around here.
I would definitely give it a go at £175, then if you don't get it at least you won't have to wonder "what if" as you will know you did all you could.
I just hope you haven't given yourself a lot more competition by posting it on here!0 -
Also looks like you have a commercial property next to yours (the van with the bins lined up behind it) - and their garage is right next to your living room?
What kind of business is it? White vans could mean clanking doors and engines starting at 6am, all kinds of equipment/rubbish piled in the front garden, whatever.
Do love the original features and the size - but I would think hard if I were you (and definitely give a hard think to the potential structural issues that the previous poster mentioned: how are the various bay windows on the street doing? Signs of cracks on yours or neighbours? Bays have a nasty habit of pulling away from the rest of the house if they're not tied in properly...)0 -

You get a lot of house for your money but I don't like it, it's not in the same league as the first house. I know they can be changed but horrible colours too, and what an uncomfortable way to use the PC!0 -
Beautiful house was just trying to work out how it could be classed as link detacheed?0
