Huh! I live under a mono pitch roof now. It covers about 50 sq.m.
As long as these have 5 acres surrounding each one, with views to the mountain & down to the sea, (& cost about £35,000), I will be fine

It was the grey depressing skies; wet streets; betting shop; 'Daily Record' newsagent sign.

Real Glasgow you say?

Another property where the interior did not match my expectations based on the exterior.

Pic 3, over lefthand mirror: Is that a fluffy animal with black felt eyes, or should I have avoided Toozie's optician?

Pic7, O M G people It wasn't a good idea to buy the dresser and butcher's block from Hagrid was it? Didn't you pick up on any guest's body language?

Pic4, leopard skin cushion covers; dried twigs in a tube on the stairs, Nooooooooo!

Perhaps the owners have a target market? A race of beings who do not wish their homes to be soothing?

excellent example of why "staging" has some drawbacks

although in my offering on that theme the flowers do provide some warmth, in my mind the back end is inspired by a cricket pavilion and so all I see is a balcony full of the MCC's finest enjoying the game

That is really gorgeous.:A

Do you know the owners Booksurr?
Garish exterior, gorgeous interior, in contrast to the Stourbridge house.
I showed it to the OH (& told him it only had 1.7 acres): "Three million" he said.
Then I told him where it was: "Seven million".

It's a horrible, gut-churning moment when you realise in your heart that you would never cut it as an EA

spot the cat & the dead plant

Whatever is growing in that plastic bowl/cat bed will have escaped into the 'community' by now

Pic3, that mirror surround ...... If I wasn't still in bed I'd need to lie down.

Pic3, the green plastic thing on the floor in front of the cat's chair?
Edit: wrong pic 3. I was in Newcastle!
Edit2: & it wasn't 'pic3'.... stay calm, deep breaths ....

Pic7, but I bet it doesn't make the rest of your kitchen resemble a doll's house?
