Jungle of a garden!

It's a wildlife garden. Very fashionable.

A lot of money to pay for an appalling tripping hazzard in the kitchen!
This is a new build so it is not as if this resulting from a necessary compromise from an adaption.

I see what you mean - but I expect that that is actually a set-in heavy duty glass panel in the floor. Underneath which is a well the cottage used to get its water from or similar. Now meant to be a decorative feature.

Suitable for a single working occupants only not taller than 5.5ft or 170cm.

...170cm is about two inches taller than five foot five. Which is it? I'd fit in a 170cm room but not a five foot five one!

(actually, I'm quite impressed at the well designed storage, I wish some of the places I'd rented had been half so well laid out)

zzzzz

Picture 4 is perfect for a sceance!

This is a new house built with a thatched roof it isn't an old cottage that has been renovated.

It took me a while to work out what they had done. If you rely on Google you'll sometimes get bitten. 170cm is close to 5.5ft (closer to 5.6) but not not 5ft 5inches.

Some interesting sale ad amendments to try and get this one sold. It's been on for most of 2016 under a different ad completely too. I'm just trying to figure out the mindset of the sellers:

Ok, we got a dodgy home report that says we're worth £450k, so let's be sensible and list it at offers over £425k.
It's been 3 months now... what do we do? Ah, why not bring it down to o/o £389k.
Hrm... no bites?
Anyone?
*months later*
Reluctantly, let's pop it down to £359k. Maybe we'll get some poor people who like it so much they'll borrow more and buy it.
.
.
.
Okay, so that didn't work. Maybe a fixed price will help. Let's be sensible and list at £450k.
Must be a slow market, ok then, offers over £395k, last chance. First to see will buy!!!

Not to mention that every other family home in this region sells within a week usually!

Issues according to me
. Five bed - just a shower room
. Awful decor - such as the top wallpaper in pics 7 and 8 - why choose brown when got minty green furniture and the shiny floral wallpaper with red paint below (pic 9)
