Wow! Change the latitude. I want it.
It looks so modest from the outside:

Better pics, which also highlight the well known Swedish obsession with kitchen taps in action:

If I was putting my house up for not far off a million, I would have:

*Binned the pizza box & coke can off the table pic 4
*Kept the shoes in pic 5-especially the ones you'd trip on by the door & whatever it is at bottom of stairs
*Kept the striped item draped over the Ming Vase;) in the hall pic 8
*Coffee cup & chocolate bag (?) off the table in the bedroom & shut the wardrobe door (9)
*Taken whatever it is out of the bath in 10 (and its not a bucket!!) and folded the towels
*Kept the medicine & cash box in pic 11
*Pic 15, is I suppose the dumping ground
* Ahhhhhhh.... pic 16, washing up bowl in bathroom!!
*Oh dear pic 22, what there the things tried up in the carrier bags against the wall???????
* Pic 24 is the other end of number 9-worse

Electric gates & parking for 20 cars, think something has gone wrong here.....

& pic 12, loo seat, the lid is up, what else is on the toilet I'm confused.

It strikes me that a lots of people live there....extended family???
But maybe someone is either not well, money has died up, or there are other issues in not wanting to care that much for your large/house garden?
Although what you can see of the kitchen is quite tidy, but there is a lot of it not shown.

:cool: Just as I was thinking to myself that I draw such a firm distinction between Total Old Wrecks (but they are charming...you never know) if they're in some European country, but absolutely everything in a British house is mentally ripped-out automatically if its, say, pre-1980s (unless its very obvious "character" and in good condition)

and maybe I should be more "forgiving" of the bad state of many British houses.....

......along comes a reminder as to why I am (in the shape of Swedish houses again), as I've never yet mentally ripped-apart any Swedish house, as they always seem to be in normal modern condition to start with.....:cool:

Sighs...wishes British houses were all up to that level....and mentally reaches for chequebook again to finish mine off...

Wonders if someone wants to explain why their houses always seem to be "finished", but many of ours aren't?
