Picture 6 - I'd feel like I was being watched whilst eating my dinner especially if they were my grandparents and I was a child!

It reminds me of many many years ago I was visiting the Mirror printworks in Watford when Robert Maxwell was still alive (that's how long ago it was!). Before the tour we were being wined & dined in the executive dining room and at one end of the room was a mahoosive portrait of Maxwell. I mean it was HUGE, with eyes that followed you around the room. Everyone gravitated away from it to sit at the far end of the table (including me), I felt sorry for the ones that had to sit nearer to it. It really put me off my dinner :eek:

Probably shouldn't have demolished our (non-listed) iron-clad shed in the back garden of our last-but-one house then, lol :D

The way EH works with listing properties does seem to be a trifle weird - eg, in our village there are several extremely old and interesting buildings some thatched, some not and the only two that are listed are the shop (understandable as has an original 18th century frontage) and the pub (stone-built, thatched) that actually has little of the original remaining as it burned down/was rebuilt a few years back.....

Here we go with the old "bogs in bedrooms"
Not one, but two!

Pardon my ignorance but why would anyone have an open plan bathroom/bedroom?

We actually visited this house fairly recently to collect an online auction purchase DH went in, I waited outside with our puppy in the car so didn't get to see inside.......and I don't think he was invited to view their *facilities*, lol! But how coincidental is that

It just makes me think of that Naked Gun scene with Leslie Neilson & Priscilla Presley up a ladder.

I also like the way the EA has taken a picture of the "view" a high rise, a car park and some scrubland.
