All I see is a practical solution to a difficult problem: That of an old person who can no longer climb the stairs to the bathroom. The plumbing is already there serving the kitchen sink, etc. that are on the other side of the wall, there is space and they do have nets and blinds up at the windows if you look carefully. Looking at the other rooms, I bet that the dining room had been turned into a bedroom and the upstairs and the front parlour were almost never used.

Whoever lived there obviously loved the garden and while the future owner will almost undoubtedly rip it out, my OH would kill to have those cupboards and shelves in our kitchen.

Yep...must admit I'd "rip" in that house and garden:rotfl:. Literally every single thing would go from the house and garden - apart from any reasonable condition radiators and windows. I'd evaluate the conservatory to see if it was good enough to keep - but obviously the loo would go.

People view those kitchen cabinets as collectable now.

Some of us are trying not to think about that....as we own one...but it got nicked...:(:mad:. That being - one was there in the kitchen of my starter house and it was agreed with vendor it would be left as part of purchase price - and then he nicked it...it was missing from the kitchen when I moved in....:eek::mad:

I was about to say I'd seen worse, from the pic of the outside of the house... but then I saw that they'd had their worktops made of molten lava, which doesn't seem very practical... I'd be giving that one a miss.

Now I've heard concrete worktops are now "the" thing - but molten lava.

So - did a quick read and it actually says "Lights up to give the impression of molten lava". They aren't actually made of it.

Mind you - I don't like them anyway.....yuk.

Well, no, they wouldn't be, but I like the concept of a worktop that would burn your dinner, even after it's survived the oven.

An 'eco' house with a totally pontless form of lighting. Brilliant!

I didn't actually read the description! But I suppose...if that's what you really want, then they do do the job. Sadly they're just incredibly ugly doing it. And completely pointless. Imagine going in that kitchen with a hangover and being faced with those _pale_

Anyone who likes a house that !!!!!! is going to be unswayed by the kitchen worktops.
