    If we ever install wide bi-fold doors on a conservatory, it wouldn't be open to the house like that one. The one we have now has doors at each end, and the amount of wildlife that comes through them is already huge. I'm not just talking insects here either.......;)

    We have an inner set of doors :D The conservatory also isn't garage proportions - it's twice as wide as it is deep. Even though ours is an old cottage, I think it will look good, and link the garden to the house. The comments on here are making me think, though! :(

    Not sure what the problem is with the toilet in this one - seems to be a lot of brown tape in use! Also, the last pic of the garden - think it might be in a dodgy area given the metal on the walls.

    Yep Woolwich/Plumstead, need I say more. Clearly no one has done work in the place for years, I think the elderly owners are no longer with us.

    Will you be going for faux thatch for the 'always been there' look?
    (Not to be confused with dry twigs or laminate flooring.......or black ash effect).
    I can feel an mse diplomatic award is on its way :D

    Or the (late?) trike owner may be/have been an Evel Knievel fan.
    Maybe EAs are wired differently, but why leave the fallen trike in the shot?

    No, I like the juxtaposition of old and new. But I'll be sure to post a photo so everyone on this thread can have a good sneer :D

    Agree. I find the whole place totally depressing and the fallen trike just adds to that. And why take pics of the garden at all with the "security measures". Instantly off putting but it's sold subject to contract, so obviously someone likes it!
