The "have a look at this!" thread II

This is being offered as 'land for sale'. Rather suggests the substantial house on might be a bit difficult to rescue! The interior doesn't looks too happy. Not sure why they decided to show the cellar complete with pallet full of apples.

Looks pretty solid to me, but the refurb has stalled and a look at the property on Street View suggests the owner has fingers in many pies.

The immediate surroundings are none too salubrious, which is why the external shots are limited, but the area seems to be on the up.

Yes, I reckon the council will look favourably on just about anything, if it gets the place tidied-up!

So have I got this right? That's a big shed next to some water that David Tennant might possibly have once walked past on sale for £300k?

Not just a shed. According to the floorplan, a shed with a shed.

It's like going back in time. Not seen a blue bath suite for a while.

And a telephone table.


Actually looks a pretty decent house.

Yes...agreed it looks a pretty reasonable house per se. They've obviously had a gardener in regularly looking after that garden - outdated as it is. One of those houses that would be described as "well-maintained" but "in need of updating"/"put your stamp on it". It would function reasonably well whilst someone waited to get the money together/find suitable workmen to start ripping it apart (not unimportant in the eyes of anyone...ahem...that has bought a house that wouldnt even function/wasnt well-maintained:cool:).

Was it last week you pulled me up for saying Mr Google was driving the Google car?

So, what's happened to all the 'workwomen' who do this sort of thing in your new, non-sexist language regime?

Just asking.

P.S. I think they might really be 'tradespersons.'

Nowhere to sit while one speaks on the phone. Keeps the conversations short and costs down. Very MSE. :A

Agreed, it's a damn good (ex-local authority?) house. Even faces the right way.

:rotfl:Whoops...you gotta point Dave:rotfl:.

You've caught me mid-language updating for the 21st century. "Tradespersons" it is. Though, goodness knows, I have yet to come across a woman doing any of the trades around here thus far - so it's always been "workmen" and never "workwomen" since I moved.
