    Pic 13 - what's with the brown cupboard thing in the kitchen? Not sure what it actually is/

    The whole place looks too clinical for me.

  • You see it a lot on leasehold flats. Folk let the leases run down to the point where they're unmortgageable.

    Never seen it on a house before.

    Might be a leasehold house, I suppose, they do exist.

    If you see that up here (Highlands) and it hasn't got a corrugated iron roof, then it usually means the land underneath the house hasn't been decrofted, making it completely unmortgageable as you don't own the land the house is standing on.

    The saddest Tiki party in the world.

    Look at pic 5. Even the dog doesn't want to go out there.
    Not too many Atlantic breakers in Brighton. I'd imagine most surfing there is of the sofa variety.

    What about the mould/water damage on the utility room ceiling? Which is below the bedroom.

    The door to the bathroom looks very narrow.





    I hadn't realised that it was probably mould - noticed it but thought it was a deliberately patterned ceiling!!


    I don't think the utility room is below the bedroom but is in a single storey extension/former outbuilding. The plan displays it alongside the bedroom but the bedroom would be wider than the utility room and needs to be moved down the page as it were to set it against the ground floor layout.

    The modern beams are odd enough, but one bedroom is completely enclosed - as far as I can make out it gets light through upper level windows into the hallway :eek: - and would be difficult to open up due to the added (I presume) stairs built between the current bedrooms up to a 'gallery' area (how hard is it to look out of the windows up there?) on the upper level (and those cramped and steep stairs don't look inviting either)...I know, there's a wheelchair in the enclosed room, so the current owners must need to keep a close eye out for the occupant, but it's not going to attract the 'ordinary' buyer, despite the nearby outside spaces

    But they are throwing in a brand new toilet seat - see pic 13 - you may not notice it as your eye would be drawn to the sunken bath ;)
