    Somewhere between pictures 8 & 10, I think the cat decided not to be associated with a photobombing dog. ;)

    I love the way that houses which haven't had anything done for about 50 years are always 'unspoiled,' as though having an efficient boiler and safe electrics would ruin them.

    I dread to think how cold and drafty it is, I do love the quirky interior, not so much of a fan of the exterior and love the grounds. It just isn't been advertised very well, even though you can see the dog is doing it's best to sell the place lol

    Also in Bute, this was sold in 2002 for £45,000 then in 2005 for £185,000 and is now for sale at £100,000. Eh?

    Actually do you think they meant to put £85, not £185 maybe?

    Photos must be vendors own hence dog following around and why some are really quite strange shots and one or two just a little bit eerie!

    Oh definitely, and I'm almost certain that the dog was right next to them for all the photos, just out of shot lol

    The house is possibly quite beautiful on the inside, but the photos are really very bad :eek:

    I think calling this a 2 bedroom flat is reaching. I'm not sure the dining room could really be used as a bedroom. I also like the rave yellow bathroom, it just needs a smiley face on the wall.

    This sensational 7,500 sq ft house in rural Kent was been transformed from a former industrial building by the renowned design firm Brinkworth for the artist Dinos Chapman and knitwear designer Tiphaine de Lussy.

    Anyone heard of them? Me neither :rotfl:

    I had actually heard of Dinos Chapman, just googled and I think it was in connection with this story. I'll offer £50,000 over the asking price if they promise no art or sculpture will be left :eek:. I quite like it actually, especially the pool, and they'd have to leave the Art Deco style dressing table in pic 17 :T.

    It probably could have been a bedroom before they opened it out into the kitchen....

    Using their logic, you also have a living room/bedroom, hallway/bedroom, bathroom/bedroom, shared basement/bedroom, back garden/bedroom.

    Wayhay! Seven bedrooms.

    When I went to Aberdeen I felt that I didn't like the colour of the local stone, it seemed to look dirty and drab. I wondered why people didn't paint their homes; but I guess they may not share my views.
