    We have fake ponies in our garden.

    Fake Labrador and pups guarding the steps and a small herd of Friesians down by the front hedge as well....We won't mention the 3 Father Christmases!

    Hmmm.....Linscott Crescent; I spent a few nights there in my youth. Wasn't exactly stunned by the view, but at least they've demolished the power station and the A39 bypasses there now.

    Quite a few stairs in there too, for a bungalow.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    - the back door
    - the sitting room

    I see what you mean.

    I think I'd regard that one as too much trouble to take on personally. By the time that I'd thought:

    - Put bedroom 1 back to being a sitting room

    - Turn the kitchen and bedroom 3 into a combined kitchen/diner.

    - Put in missing back door.

    - Followed by deciding bedroom 2 was the only bedroom left (as basically it's a one bedroom house) - so I'd have to do the same as the neighbour and add extra room space in the roof to get a decent size bedroom for myself (keeping bedroom 2 as spare bedroom or, in my case, that means a study then).

    That's an "I'd pass on that then" - as I don't like Projects for the sake of it. I just want to move straight in and not lift as much as a paintbrush (famous last words - after buying current house:cool:).

    We have fake ponies in our garden.

    I guess that's a lesson for us all. For all of us who are thinking of having ponies and carriages in the garden to help sell, don't do it.......this house has been on the market for nearly 2.5 years!!

    I think that trying to sell way above the ceiling price for the road has a lot to do with it.

    And speaking of ceilings, the assorted animals will go, but acres of artex will still be there!
