    I cant imagine the beam in the kitchen was there when it was first built. Looks out of place for the area the house is in.
    I think it's just boxing around an RSJ, possibly put in when the kitchen was extended.

    A lot of house for the money .http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-53209713.html

    Big house, but hideous interior.

    Ooo-er.
    Clicking on Streetview within this listing leads to what appears to be an abandoned Chapel of Rest?? :eek:

    Is it even the same property? The window onto the street is completely different.

    They've obviously chosen to display the dead centre of the postcode.

    Come on people, it's not difficult: lose means to be unable to find, loose means not being fixed in place. So if you have a hole in your pocket you might lose your loose change.

    I saw somebody on another thread mention they had 14 meters of kitchen worktop. I wondered why on earth you'd want that.

    Sounds distinctly lust-worthy to me....quick calculation and I've got about 6 metres (including set-in cooker hob and my double-drainer draining board). This is the kitchen I had put in myself - after ripping out the totally inadequate previous one.

    Yep - I could easily use another 4 metres worth and wouldnt object to more.

    It's not the chopping space, it's the layout. My kitchen has plenty of work surface but a !!!! layout that irritates me. Installed by the previous owner it's only 5 years old and still looks good, so I can't justify replacing it.

    The only bedroom in the property, and you can't fit a bed in there...?

    It's a bit confusing. The floorplan says the bedroom is 9'10" by 7' and the description says you can fit a standard double bed and a wardrobe in it, but the photo shows a room maybe 3-4' wide. I guess that's why it's a "one bedroom / studio flat"--the bedroom is caught in some kind of dimensional rift. Or is that the storage room?

    Someone wanted it enough to offer, anyway. I will try to not keel over at the price.

    There is another listing for the flat and that makes the bedroom look tiny too :think:

    I've just spotted the issue on the floorplan. The door is in a wee alcove, so they've used the width measurement from there, even though most of the room is way narrower.
    Well spotted :T
    Still wondering how you can get a "standard 4ft 6in double bed and wardrobe" in there :huh:
