Save water - bath with a friend

It's like those his & hers washbasins, which imply a level of mateyness rarely achieved, because she always wants her own space, and anyway, he's either flaked out on the sofa or watching the Match on catch-up! :rotfl:

But I like the fact that for £2m we could still have cluttered worktops in the kitchen.

Well, there's lovely, isn't it?

They've been quite canny, because the house itself is almost unscathed,

Selling a new build after only a year isn't so canny, though!

Did the seller get it new? If so, reselling something they got shiny and new the year before for £30k more than they paid is an absolute p***take.

"Immaculatly presented four bedroom detached with approx 9 yrs NHBC remaining. An opportunity to purchase a four bedroom detached Bellway build set within a new development and being within easy access of the M4 Corridor. "

Reading between the lines, yes, and as for the easy access to M4, it backs onto it.

Should be a doddle to sell.....

it looks like the sort of place I used to build on the Sims (before I used the cheat option to afford a second storey).

I am clearly missing something because I don't understand how stripping everything out of it and demolishing an annex adds £17k in value

I used to smile when my daughter, now aged 30, then about 10, played happily on one of the early Sims programmes. It kept her occupied for hours and seemed harmless compared with GTA.

That was before she explained the attraction. She and a friend would build a home for their worst enemy at school, populate it with fine things, and then, when said friend was in the right place, somehow set fire to it, trapping her inside. :rotfl:

If there are any Russian oligarchs lurking I've found them just the place:

Not only is it seriously over the top, the fact it is built with a mega amount of reinforced concrete and on top of a hill suggests that it will be ringfenced by security men in black suits with walkie talkies James Bond style.

Or maybe I just have an over-active imagination.

Interesting ceiling though.

It screams of 'opened a can of worms' whilst renovating
