    I have peered and peered but can't spot him. Perhaps because I'm using a small tablet.

    This house would be quite perfect for me, I really love it. Sadly my awkward, selfish family want to live elsewhere.
    I was jumping to conclusions and one of them jumped back

    Can a kitchen really be so small? Or bad photography? Looks as if turning round in it would be difficult.

    Assuming it's the Shebbear property, it's like the area where I live, which tends to give better value because of the distance to larger shops etc. Beaches are fairly distant too. Both areas have some very good schools and we have a health centre/dentist as a bonus.


    Do your family prefer the more 'touristy' areas?

    The comment about the plastering etc came in consideration of a works van visible on Street View.

    Presumably things are much much bigger out in the provinces! Here in London we'd call that a bl00dy great lorry rather than a works van, but since what I can see is Irish not Scots, maybe streetview supports a variety of alternate universes?

    Nothing so quantum-physically exciting, I'm afraid. The van referred to is in the property's yard! :)

    Davesnave no, they remain fixated on living in a massive city. I long to go home to Norfolk but I'm searching in our current home area, which is what they like.

    There appears to be one in pic 26 too (on the table).

    This one's been reduced a couple of times now. I don't think the Street View has helped!

    ...And did they really bring someone from the tip of Scotland to do the plastering & tiling? :eek:


    Bypass has been built on the A477 so may not have so much traffic on this road now :D
