Or is it just a youngster in a highchair? :question:

No highchair in the other picture of the kitchen though.
The close-up now resembles Hitler! :eek::eek:

I know this area, & for what he is asking you should get a riverside luxurious villa with pool.
Of course at £350,000 he could have made a mistake with his zeros!

Staggering isn't it, how compared with Europe we pay more for shoddier rabbit hutches to live in and talk about how they're increasing in value.

I visit supposedly more backward countries in Europe a lot, and in almost every case their houses are more solidly constructed than ours. Can't remember ever seeing a concrete floor above ground level here in a residential property - they laugh at our joists and plasterboard.

Well they laugh until they hear every noise that comes from someone walking around upstairs, then it's shock.

I'm guessing your name places you from maybe Croatia, or Bulgaria?

No, my username was chosen randomly and I only realised it sounded a bit slavic after I'd got used to it.;)

Live in London, where you get barely any house for your money at all.

This is a lovely flat (apart from the bin stuck to the ceiling in the kitchen) but I fail to see which buyer is going to be that impressed by pic 17.

That kitchen ceiling "bin" is puzzling.

But the thing that strikes me is the overall impression of "So far, so normal" apart from that - until you see the outside pictures - that grimness/bleakness....

It's very like the Georgian terraces of Bath.....but 400 miles north of that with an east coast weather regime.

Not for me, although half my family came from around there. None of the younger ones stayed. They all live in the south/on south coast! :rotfl:

It's a while since I've seen a room with a hexagonal cross section....

Bleak?! That's a Grade II, UNESCO world heritage site! Its actually a lovely area and the pics don't really do it much justice and you got to bear in mind its difficult to photograph Edinburgh on a sunny day!

Given the position of the bin could it be an extractor?
