Grey was in fashion about 5 years ago. So not rebuilt all that recently.

Well they only bought it a year ago...before VIRTUALLY REBUILDING, as agents say.

Sold for £675k

It won't be - anyone who hoards like that won't be moving of their own accord. More likely that the poor person has died and the family are selling the property 'as seen'.

We cleared out my mum’s before selling it; it would have made this place look tidy if we hadn’t :rotfl:

Monochrome photos? No, just a house expensively refurbished to be entirely devoid of interior colour!

I actually quite like this... apart from the ‘serial killer’ vibe, that is. The patio looks like it should have been a swimming pool until very recently, and the spotlights in the master bed put me in mind of an operating theatre. If I said ‘The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo’?

No upstairs toilet either - looks like only bath and wash basin in the bathroom from photo and plan...

My first thought was Yuck over the carpet in kitchen too!

I can't see how this lot would be packed up ready on completion day:

This is most odd.
Until today, this house had been up at £190K for the best part of a year,, but with only one picture of the front. (I'd wondered why only the one picture, now I know!)
Now, still not having sold, the price has bizarrely been increased to £210K, with probably the worst photo of all time taken of the front of any house, ever, plus the agent has now added pictures of the inside.:eek:
If these extra pictures are meant to enhance desirability, encourage viewings and
justify the sudden £20K leap in the asking price, when it couldn't even sell at £190K, then they've failed miserably.
(And what exactly is "a loving home?")

Got to say, that's an amazingly spacious home by London standards.:T

One where you don't feel the need to protect yourself against the neighbours maybe?

Just thinking ruefully of a filled bottle I dug up from the garden of my current house that I suspect is a "witch bottle" (ie buried for purposes of protection from a neighbour).

Now I know the neighbour (and had been told what previous owner of my house thought of her) I understand the sentiment:rotfl:

Anyone fancy escaping to the country and going completely off-grid?
Land Rover essential.

Are you sure it's not just a bottle?

It hasn't worked very well in offering protection. Your neighbour still haunts your posts on a weekly basis. Even after five years or more, you still refer to your home as "my current house" and where you live as "current area," so you're not settled and you want others to know that.

To me, a loving home is somewhere that feels right; repaying time & money spent on it. It might not be the much-vaunted "forever house," because people's needs change, but neither should it feel transitory, if something reasonably permanent is desired.

In your position, I'd sell up and move on.

Put an office chair or 2 in the porch and it becomes a study!

Actually I think some different flooring and it would fine.

My thoughts exactly.

I like a monochrome + one colour per room theme, would be pretty easy to achieve with this as a starting point.
