Errrm.....errr...yep...ahem....

My basic reaction to it is "I cant actually see how I would make that house 'work' ". I started with thinking "Just how could I get extra power points into those stone walls?" and it went downhill from there...

Houses "earn their keep" in my books, ie churn out all the facilities the owner requires (or at least as many of them as possible). After that...comes the design features...

Picture 30 - someone has high hopes for the weather in this country, a sink, fridge and looks like some sort of cooker in the garden!



Count the air fresheners on this one! On with two agents and the other one had the sense to hide them before taking pictures. Would say its a repo aside from the lack of do not use stickers on the taps but you can see bare wires sticking out the wall where there should be a shower so it might be.

Don't get me wrong......I adore *quirky* (see attached link to our former home as evidence. For example we had 200 frames of taxidermy butterflies in the hallway :eek: We sold in 2007, but recent sales blurb shows many of our interior schemes and fittings still in situ as we sold them with the house and our buyers changed little in their six year tenure - btw, apologies to those who have seen this link before* ;)), but all that exposed stone and the phone box etc is a bit contrived and incongruous for my own personal taste

* Note - I confess to now HATING our old handpainted decoration in the front reception room, but I did do that in about 1999 when I had a bit of a Gothic thing going on :o:o

Btw, as evidence of being very MSE even back then, the Zoffany wallpaper in pic 14 I picked up at a Carboot sale for £5!

I love that house I bet it's all cream and boring now ! I hate cream and boring I'd rather have old fashioned 1970 than boring and cream !
