    I'm also trying to tell whether the dog in front of the glass doors in pic 4 is real or a toy :huh:

    ...don't know, but the 4 behind it look real enough. A nice little menagerie isn't it.

    It's not uncommon. They sell flaps with 'tunnels' to go in the wall, specifically for that purpose. I believe it can be easier and cheaper than putting it in a door if all your doors are double glazed, or if you don't have a door in the right place.

    We have a large moggie and I doubt he would reach that cat flap ( or is it a vent). Or maybe it was for one of those prissy designer cats with long legs..............a lynx:rotfl:

    I think it's a water tower, from looking the the sat view. Two of them, on the land behind.
    I must remember that "Money Saving" is not buying heavily discounted items that I do not need. :hello:

    VERY nice sitting in the conservatory with that thing looming over you:eek:

    Wonders how much lower the price of that house is compared to similar nearby ones to allow for The Thing?

    I wonder if you can tell who lives there by their stripy tans from laying in the garden.
    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

    Look at it another way, the field behind that development has a nice access road and will probably be built on soon. Having a water tower in situ guarantees protection from overlooking, or knucklehead neighbours behind. As it's to the north, no interference with sunlight .

    As for the pricing, it's £30k below what the owners paid as a new build in 2007 and you get a free conservatory too. :)

    I still wouldn't consider it a good buy, but not because of the water tower. ;)
