Not only that it is very expensive for the local area. Saltburn is just up the road from Redcar, former British Steel/ SSI effected region. I think they would struggle to sell.quantumlobster wrote: »A listing of many contradictions:

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.Paid off the last of my unsecured debts in 2016. Then saved up and bought a property. Current aim is to pay off my mortgage as early as possible. Currently over paying every month. Mortgage due to be paid off in 2036 hoping to get it paid off much earlier. Set up my own bespoke spreadsheet to manage my money.0 -

Yes but its also only a spit from the North Yorkshire Heritage Coastline and is very popular with visitors. Its a lot of land so I would agree the place has potential even if the house itself is grim. A developer wouldn't want the house anyway (except as a site office). I'd say it was (subject to planning) ideal housing development land - this listing isn't about the house, its about the location and land.0 -

That carpet, just why?
It has an air of a 1980's B&B throughout the downstairs.Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear0 -
It is, indeed, a truly horrible carpet. Perhaps it is such good condition despite the horribleness, that they just can't bear to replace it and are moving to get away from it.I was jumping to conclusions and one of them jumped back0

Thought this place seemed cheap for a 2 bedroom until I looked at the floorplan...

That kitchen is insane. How do you even get the appliances in, never mind use them?hedgewitchery wrote: »Thought this place seemed cheap for a 2 bedroom until I looked at the floorplan...

Good point - think you'd be looking at dismantling the whole kitchen if/when the cooker or washing machine goes. I was more concerned about getting into it in the first place as someone who is a little, *ahem*, bottom-heavy...0

Talk about putting on a show for the neighbours:eek:

It says it's a one bedroom apartment, but the photos clearly show 2 bedrooms. Floor plan doesn't.
At any rate I agree with you about the :eek: aspect of it! :eek: :rotfl:0
