    Done quite well for a basement flat, but one bedroom and the bathroom only accessible through the kitchen?

    I'd buy it if the decking was from the same era.

    Highlight for me: Left of the kitchen sink, the thing consuming Xmas decorations.
    It's all a bit "Colin Hunt", for me.

    There are worse local newspapers than poor quality/loads of adverts.

    There are ones that are extremely biased to (a particular group of) local people.....instead of actually being a "proper newspaper":cool:

    It's a local paper for local people. There's nothing in it for the likes of you.

    No external photos.

    Not what I would call a 'HIGHLY EXECUTIVE FINISH' as the estate agent calls it, but then again it does have a Large brick paved DIVE (albeit full of weeds) and a LAW area at the back (which probably hasn't seen a mower this year.
    However it does have an exceedingly high wall cupboard in the kitchen and the Gym really has wow factor.

    That's quite a lot of house and land (18 acres/7.2 hectares!) for your large slab of wonga.

    But there's something unremittingly grim about the place - for example, the cloakroom with its wonky wooden toilet seat and crappy tiles, and that awful shaker-style kitchen, and the relentless torrent of beige that permeates the whole house.

    Also, if I ever put a property on the market for a million pounds, I'm going to have the pictures taken by someone who isn't my dog using something that isn't a potato.

    £1.295M and no floor plan!

    Even with 18 acres I wouldn't be tempted at half the price

    The description of the age of the property as 'late 20th century' as opposed to 1970s or 1980s sounds a little odd and out of place too. Usually you only see such vague age ranges on properties over 100 years old.
