    If I won the lottery.....


    However the bunk bed in p14 is seriously wierd

    I can't remember where I saw it, but once saw a house with two bedrooms that shared a bunkbed, but it was built into a stud wall so it looked like two cabin beds, one in each room.

    It struck me as a pretty clever space saving way of dividing a big bedroom into two smaller ones for separate kids.

    The epitome of what I call 'bad good taste'. Not awful, just using a really unimaginative (and probably v expensive) interior designer because you don't have time for actual taste: http://m.g-h.co.uk/details.dtx?p=3789E52D-CE8A-4FC0-8EF1-0960A9EB645E

    The same interior designer used the fabric off cuts from their dining room to do the dining room in the highest priced house in the county... (pic 10)

    Sounds like a clever idea. I think the weird thing about this one is that the lower bed is a double...

    Definitely not awful - horrendous, ghastly and frightful are perhaps better descriptors.

    And weirdly very few interior pictures given the size of the place, but overload on the number of photos of the pool and garden. And why two identical pictures of the front door?

    Strangely I can fantasise about living without mod cons in the middle of nowhere but can't rid myself of the worry that the cliff will collapse and eventually take those cottages with it.

    Me too - I was born in a seafront building and feel increasingly homesick for the sea (although not my home town, curiously, but rather a rural beachy location) - but would be petrified that one would eventually go over the side of the cliff :eek:

    The estate agent blurb "...a WELL presented two bedroom, semi-detached bungalow....Internal inspection highly recommended. "

    Now, that is impressive. Clearly they not only do things different oop north but they have a different way of expressing themselves too.
