Wondering how the grass got in such a state on that one.

Neighbour "watering" it or does grass go like that if dogs are allowed to wee on it?

That's a really depressing house. A lot of work needed.

Spot the cat!

Looks like they ran out of black cupboard doors so used lime green instead. Bit random.

Also, pic 2 - have the cars driven up a grassy bank to park?

I can see the attraction of that quirkiness personally - though not my taste.

That house is one that would have me sitting there thinking "Euston -we have a problem. This house is so bog-standard boring etc etc that it's a challenge to give it a bit of style". Its true that they could have done a better job of bricking up the front door - but quick glimpse of the front of the house shows it's in a set-up where the neighbours could soon start to feel very intrusive if they were of the nosy type. So I guess the back entrance feels that bit more "private" and hence why they did that - so that their "comings and goings" didnt get constantly watched by the neighbours?

When you've got neighbours like that - then you do try and minimise their "observations"....

Thank you for the chuckle.

Not sure if foreign properties are allowed, but I am browsing for a holiday home and came across this ad which is good as a "how not to take photographs" guide. I particularly like the picture of a curtain.

StreetView suggests it is not unknown in the vicinity.

Picture 16 - it looks like the table has horns.

This one is NOT a horror. Really rather special - if you want a get away from it all bolthole.

Though the remoteness might be a bit of an issue in winter or the brook is in flood - even though it is almost off grid (private water, septic tank drainage).

Oh and the boiler doesn't work - so no heating at present.

Live near Booze so at least the nights will be fun.

I think it's got a certain appeal - though too remote for many of us. Picture 5 has a clue in as to why the owner might want to be so remote and living somewhere "natural". Though picture 3 has the "inconsistent item" in (ie conventional bottle of spray cleaner - not an eco type one).
