    The kitchen looks like something they would have done on 'Changing Rooms'

    Hmm... a good few years back now we had one of the local Premier league team footballers living in our village. He retires and makes a move to leave the area, so the house goes on the market. This was a bit before the boom in sites like rightmove, so the secretary where I was working at the time, being a nosey blighter - goes and gets the property particulars for us to have a neb at.

    I swear the dining room on that house was the same colour as that bright red, I remember thinking at the time it must have felt like you were sitting in your own innards eating your tea.

    OMG the red chandlier in the kitchen! What a shame as the bones of the house are lovely. Looks like it has been decorated by Barbie.
    It is a good idea to be alone in a garden at dawn or dark so that all its shy presences may haunt you and possess you in a reverie of suspended thought.

    Yep, she was admittedly a very pretty woman, but I can't honestly believe that everyone with that pic in their house is a fan :p
