    For some reason, this house really gives me the creeps...

    I think it's the abandoned gym and swimming pool (probably been watching too many scary films lately).

    I was expecting to see a cliched horror film type house from that description.:D

    I actually quite like it :o It's got a lot of space for the money, although obviously it needs some work. Would be nice to have seen some of the other rooms though. I wonder why some of these estate agents seem to take so few pictures? It seems to be a common thing on here that there are whole rooms missing, and yet often duplicated photos of other bits of the house, or random pictures of flowers and the like!

    So I found this one today,

    Interesting decor, looks more like a nightclub than a home!!!

    um, um, um.....I'm actually lost for words on that house! It's got to have been a swingers house or something! Sofa's in each bedroom looking straight at the bed!

    Ahhh, neneromanova, I think you may be onto something. They're wipe clean sofas too. Ew!

    What do you reckon about the room in pic 13?
    At first glance I thought it was a sauna type thing but it's definitely not. Perhaps an easy clean 'entertainment' area? Though the family photo on the wall doesn't really fit....

    I like it too. Would be really nice if someone spent some time and money on it.

    I don't understand the lack of photos, you would think that estate agents would actually want to sell the house they are advertising yet they don't provide decent photos, they rarely provide photos of EVERY room, and they often don't include floorplans (and when they DO provide a floorplan, it's not uncommon for it to be wrong!).

    And see where it is! You can change the name, but it's still Staines.

    The comments are a bit harsh - with the exception of the top picture it doesn't look that bad to me - we've seen a lot worse on this thread :rotfl:
