    I particularly like the sheep's rear-end in the last picture! A real selling feature.

    (This thread is brilliant!)

    Personally I prefer pictures 2 and 3. It would put me off from even looking at it. You might never leave alive... (or sane)

    There's a whole lot of love in this house!

    Okay, sunflower on the front of the pink (semi-detached) house, dotty paper flowers, party bunting, L O V E and sheep's backside aside, why are we getting only two internal views of the ground floor.

    This is a three bedroomed house, no pictures of stairs, landing, bathroom and none of the three bedrooms.

    This isn't the only listing we've seen on this thread where there have been minimal internal pictures, plenty of the (sometimes) tatty outside but none of the upstairs at all.

    What are the estate agents thinking (besides "I'm not going up there!").

    It's a buyers' market out there and people really need to 'up their game' if their houses are to sell.

    I don't want it, but it makes me want to buy the other half of the semi - paint it black, have dead plants in the garden and have a "hate" theme inside for the sake of contrast and cosmic balance.

    From the look of the first picture, they're half way there already! :rotfl:

    :rotfl::rotfl:I feel their pain :) When I first moved to my current area years ago, my ex bought a house that had been owned by someone with a similar (but not quite as extreme) taste. Much of my karma was exhausted pressure washing yin-yang symbols off the drive way and chiselling hot fix crystals off stuff.

    Aaaawwwww, don't be horrible ;). Ok, not to our taste - but it does feel like a really happy home, unlike some of the others on here (epecially the obvious probate sales :()
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    I only live a couple of miles away, hence why I came across it on Rightmove and knew immediately that I needed to share it with the population of MSE!
