Gorgeous is not a word I'd use about that property.

It is all the worst design features of the 1980s preserved in aspic and it depresses the hell out of me!

Are you sure you're cut out for this thread? _pale_

It's not for everyone and needs some work, but I'd love to live in a cottage. Look at that AGA!

I have an Aga. It's great for cooking, apart from when the wind is blowing hard and the oven temps drop.

It's also difficult to clean during the 6 months of the year that it's on, as the top is always hot. Self-cleaning oven's nice though.

It has severe limitations as a water heating device, and as a space heater the lack of regulation is annoying. We often have to open the windows and door to let the heat escape, even in February. This can be galling when the running cost is £35 - £40 a week!

Then there's finding a place for the other cooker, for using when the Aga isn't on......:think:

It's going!

Not sure about the bedroom furniture though...

I agree - lovely kitty but hideous bedroom furniture :eek: - seems the EA has focussed on that and hardly any other pics of the house

Estate agents do that all the time round here. Half a dozen lousy photos and a close up of the novelty lid on the bog.

London suburbs = don't have to try too hard.

As for the furniture, Asian tastes are different from European, so it's merely a value judgement on what 'hideous' might be.

We can both agree that we'd not choose it ourselves.

And the clear balustrade which doesn't fit properly under the stairs would annoy me. (Hasten to add I live in an old cottage where nothing is straight or fits, but in that modern house, it's supposed to).

What a great site :T. Love the first house. Second stunning but too dark for me - needs a lot of white paint .

Great to see even the most famous architect in the country can forget something as mundane as a letterbox (pic 28) :rotfl:.
