    Although mine wouldn't be daft enough to spend £190k on a one bedder, addressing her like a teenager wouldn't work as a persuasive technique either.

    That ad will sell those flats about as well as the old Playtex 18 hour girdle ads would sell women's underwear. :rotfl:

    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 agree that it looks wonderful. But I'd be a little concerned at what's growing in the conservatory (pics 16 and 28 ) The conservatory seems to have been built around them.

    They're OK, just grape vines, but to do it correctly, the roots should be outside and the stem taken through the wall.
    Any gaps could be filled with something non-setting, like plumber's mait. :)

    Is this it?

    I think the first pic is misleading. It looks as though there are very close neighbours which might put people off immediately so they don't read the bit about the annex.

    Anyone who has been that close to the A40 will know the answer!

    Looked at a few properties in that area myself, but all the affordable ones came with added road noise. ;)
