    Pic 13 with the contents filled I will be a happy bunny!

    I was wondering what the room with all the wooden compartments was for, thinking some kind of crazy kind of sauna?

    Read wine room. A room for the wine... I thought a library was extravagant!

    And it actually makes me a little bit sad, I hope it's fake (and it looks blooming awful!).

    Yes, I'm not a lover of that.

    Pic 7 - is that a TV? If so, what a strange place to put it

    I've driven past this house on my way to work the past few years and the only thing that made me think that this and the adjoining semi weren't abandoned was the well kept hedge outside, shame they couldn't pay the same attention to the exterior paintwork.

    It's great to see the inside of it though, really interesting but I dread to think of the refurb

    Me and my partner have purchased this house, can't wait to get started!!!

    good luck! would love to see pics of the transformation. Heres the link to the house if anyone else is as nosey as me :rotfl:http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-41071817.html

    Oh no, a library's essential.

    I've managed to tuck a guest bed into a corner of mine.

    I think the TV is hanging from the ceiling at the foot of the bed so it can be viewed when lying down.

    The angle of the photo makes it look like it's obscuring the window, but light is clearly shining through the window onto the bed.
    :huh: Don't know what I'm doing, but doing it anyway... :huh:

    That kitchen is the Timelord's Control Centre of the House.

    I saw this one recently - spot the surprised cat:

    Cat's very own extra-quadruple bedroom.

    LOL, spoken as a true motorist. I don't know what's funnier: that you recognise the piece as roadkill or some fabrication. It's the hide of a Zebra laminated onto a mat as a display piece. Not a complete Zebra. You don't find Zebras in Blightly but they are wild animals related to the Horse and Donkey. So you've probably never seen a Zebra before and think it looks blooming awful. But my guess is it will probably appeal to macho types out there.

    No, it's a house for Hobbits.
