    Have you read the property description? I honestly can't believe they are talking about the same house as the pictures I'm looking at!

    "It has been newly redecorated and is in good order throughout.

    There is a bathroom upstairs with modern white suite with shower and a downstairs toilet in the laundry room.

    There are useful built in cupboards in 2 of the bedrooms and a large airing cupboard on the landing.

    The gardens front and rear are mainly lawned with mature trees which gives a very attractive outlook from the lounge particularly in summer with the foliage and blossom.

    It is carpeted and curtained throughout and ready to move in without any effort."

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
