    Dandie do you have some special search you're putting into rightmove that finds the pine monstrosities? You have a knack for finding some real crapshows.

    If it was a filter offered by Rightmove I would be unticking it! :)

    I have seen thousands of houses in my lifetime (and many more house plans) and this place must rank as one of the worst!

    I have to agree. That is the worst laid-out, worst fitted-out house I have ever seen.

    It needs demolishing so you could just start again. There is not a thing you could keep.

    When you look at it in street view you are taken to a rural idyll of thatched cottages, somewhere within which is that ugly horror.

    Nice house, but not sure about what's at the bottom of the garden.

    "proudly designed by first and only owners, which makes this property completely bespoke and individual to its self"

    Individual to that owner I would say.

    Hard to imagine many potential purchasers will be content with five bedrooms but just one bathroom, and indeed toilet, not particularly easily accessed by three of the bedrooms either.
    On the other hand, with the bedrooms all opening onto that family room like that, it looks like the ideal place in which to establish and run your very own eschatological doomsday cult.

    Great views towards and over the river. I've often walked along the City Walls on the far side and thought how boxy and out of place those flats look, and how their residents benefit from a lovely view of the historic features on the opposite bank ;)

    Exactly my thoughts!

    What's more they've decided to use Purplebricks so it's not even as though they've got an agent to try and persuade people registered with them to go and take a look despite the horrors.


    Maybe we should organise a coach trip and have a day out to view the sheer awfulness of it. That 'family room' is presumably used by the estranged. What a horrible place to have to walk through to join the queue for the only bathroom.

    what is it with the bikes.

    A lot of house for your money up there.

    At first from the plans I though only access to the garden through the study but there are French doors in the kitchen.
