The only point they seem to be making is that they've no taste.

The end house only has a rear door on the opposite side from the end wall, so it's very unlikely they ever had access, otherwise they'd have been walking all the way around the back of the house to reach it.

Because I cant see any other way for them to access their back garden except through their house - but the neighbour the other side does seem to have such access (2 doorways there) and it's such an odd way for the right-hand neighbour to have their garden (ie those stripes) and hence wondering if they are "making a point".

The usual situation with terraces like that is the gated passageway you can see on the house to the left gives access to the yard at the back - which is either communal or has right of access across it. My old house was like that, access though a passage three houses away and across their yards.

Is this the smallest shower room ever? If not, it has surely got to be a contender for strangest...

Indeed, without a 'coal hole' at the front, it was often the only clean way to get fuel to the bunker or a bike around to the back shed..

No the smallest shower room ever was in a hotel room I stayed in last month.

Blimey, any smaller and you could sit on the loo and shower at the same time :rotfl:

Another nice looking place ... but the price (in the middle of the Dales national park and the comments "The property does now require a scheme of refurbishment and repair ..." suggests something seriously awry.

I agree with Davesnave about auction girl guide prices they're there just to sucker you in.

However if you look at pic 1 the grass at the front is your only outside space and that bench on the left is the Kings Head pub garden, there are at least 5 more tables. I can imagine on a busy night your little space and the steps leading up to your 1st floor porch being overrun. At the rear of the property there are flues and extract fans from the kitchens. So it may not be the idyllic peaceful setting you might expect.

No idea why they put in pic 12, it's not even the house for sale and it doesn't look safe.

Although I like pubs I'm not sure I'd want to live in one but the Kings Head does look quite good.

This 'stunning' property is also WAY overpriced for the area as well.

Just imagine the management fees for this place! I mean, an annual re-tune of the contemporaneous piano for a start! http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-45072520.html
