Think the estate agent taking the photos of this one had been to the pub first!

Self-fitted kitchen - with measurements worked out by someone no good at maths (that gap!) or of "time and motion" consciousness (the way some of the cupboard doors open). Vendor also a bodger - papered right over old electric socket, for instance, in one of the rooms and what's with that trench/unmatching fence in the garden?0 -

I reckon it would be a first if any landlord, let alone one with a cheap property, carried out time and motion studies on behalf of their tenants!:rotfl:
The gap is for trays, commonly used by the lower classes when eating pre-cooked TV dinners.*

This flat has been on the market for a long time. Even Frodo Baggins would hit his head getting in and out of bed.

How do you have a bit of nookie in that bed?

I like the second one - wouldn't be keen to have a house directly on a working platform, though. It was bad enough when renting a flat with a bus stop right next to it - people were always lurking outside - quite legitimately waiting for the bus
I bet it's a right palaver also to get permissions from Network Rail or the train operator to do any decoration / maintenance for that side of the house.0 -

Current owner could have just given in to a pushy salesman. When we had our old kitchen done 6 years ago there was a small gap of about 10cm left on the end wall after fitting in the dishwasher, washing machine and sink, the Homebase salesman was heavily pushing the concept of a (completely useless) 'tray space' rather than our preferred choice of covering the gap with a panel to match the units. He did eventually relent but seemed a bit put out by our choice.0 -
When I left my father to it to work out what units to use of an MFI kitchen range in my starter house I got left with an odd space.
Ahem...my father said it was a "tray space". I knew it was his maths being a bit off (the one time in my life I caught my father out lying to me....).
Conclusion - I worked out what size of unit he should have chosen and had the wrong size unit ripped out and correct size unit put in. Vague memory it was around £120 (30 years ago) that went down the drain courtesy of that mistake...(ie cost of correct unit). Yep....his other mistake was not being "time and motion" conscious re what direction a couple of the doors of wall units opened (I left those and just got annoyed any time I had to take a couple of steps more than necessary to open those doors).0 -

Pictures 7 & 8? And floorplan 3?0 -
This stylishly decorated house is near me. I knew the owner was odd, but had no idea the decor was this bad. At least we now know where the ex went - she's in the sarcophagus on the landing. :eek:
