Oops I think they got the descriptions of the photos a bit wrong on this one

I like the fact that they put up so many photos (although some of them are of odd things, like mirrors).

The captions are just bizarre though.

Lovely sized house though! Complete interior redesign and it'll be perfect

I thought that was a lovely house inside - a good do-er-upper. Bit ugly outside. But Beddgelert is lovely - Snowdonia is one of my favourite places.

Not sure how this managed to sell for £220,000. Surely devalued by the huge fire previously?

Going to be knocked down and 3-4 houses built on the plot is my guess.

But it's the very last picture that sells the house!

The Gunnera manicata did it for me, (pic33) along with the brook.

Have you noticed how brooks always 'babble,' in EA details? They never flood, like rivers and streams.

Similarly, in that one there's 'electric heating,' not 'storage heaters.' I'm sure we all know the difference.

I love them but have only seen them growing successfully in Cornwall. Anyone know whether a sheltered spot further north would allow for successful cultivation? [ Perhaps that's a question for a different MSE board.]

3 times the running cost?

Anywhere on the Western seaboard should be OK, and all southern counties. They are found as far north as Arran and the RHS class the plant as hardy.

The problem is space. I have plenty of that, but only a narrow stream side, so gunnera would totally dwarf everything else if I planted it. Rheums are an alternative, or maybe tetrapanax, but they are still pretty large, relative to most other plants. I may have to settle for rodgersias.
