    But at least they've neutralised the decor prior to putting it on the market :rotfl:

    Oh, there's more! I tried to (still on street view) get out of the building taking what looked like an exit (there is a fire exit door ahead) which then goes upstairs through something from the London dungeon...

    Very strange

    The carcasses and severed arm are definitely odd! :eek:

    Not quite up there with Tomb Raider though, is it?

    Do you mean the people in the house behind might spy on you?

    Oh, I know there isn't one there just now, but it looks like a potential infill plot from where I'm sitting! ;)

    There is one - Streetview May 2015 shows it being built behind :)

    The numbering is weird as the new house being built is 140. 142 is the house that was posted on here. Next to 140 is 134 :think:
    Please put out food and water for the birds and hedgehogs :)

    I hadnt spotted that - but would be a valid point imo - given my default setting is "Back gardens should be private" (errr...yep....my own is a headache about making it be as private as possible).

    But I got rather offput anything like that on reading articles about bacteria levels accummulating in them if other people are using them too - and that's their whole raison d'etre isnt it? Add my personal dislike for them....and that's a no then....

    I would lurve a sauna inside a house though - and so few British houses have them.....

    I viewed a bungalow with a sauna a few years ago. I loved the house although it was on for more than I could afford. I had my doubts about the running and maintenance costs of the sauna. Use it in the gym but don't stay in too long so think a sauna in a house would be an expensive waste of space.

    Eventually that house was reduced by £100K. The EA assured me that the subsidence had been dealt with but it was sold before I had another viewing.

    Still not sure what I would have done with the sauna though.

    Nice bodge job on the conservatory roof, very "scenic" for relaxing as you play some guitar to try and drown out the washing machine....

    Is that a pallet bed base in picture 10?

    I think I may have tried to disguise that.
