That's one heck of a lot of house for that money by SE England standards.
Are we looking at the same house?:rotfl:
The price isn't bad and the house would be okay - once they stopped calling the dining room "bedroom 4" and a cupboard "bedroom 5".
But "heck of a lot of house" - and I was looking at it thinking "They're trying to make out a house of 1096.95 square feet is 5 bedroom - when my own 1,000 square foot house is 2 bedrooms:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:". My mind was boggling at the thought I might be able to call my house 5 bedroomed just for the sake of having 97 square feet more. Think I'll re-name my boiler room as "bedroom 3" right now (it's not got a window in it - but why let a little thing like that stop me?).0 -
It's Chatham. Reality there is different to the rest of SE England.0

Bedroom 5 would be much better turned into a toilet or even shower room if large enough.0 -

Bedroom 5 would make a reasonable shoe cupboard for about 3 pairs of shoes.0 -

Lol
I was about to say its not a bad 2 bedroomed house, but moneyistooshorttomention put it so much more eloquently:p0 -
Looking at the history, the walls have been moved at least upstairs and they either need moving again to take 500mm off the 2 large bedrooms and put the space into the little storage spaces they call bedrooms.
Also the wall for the "study" needs taking down and putting somewhere near the door to the back bedroom and do away with the "study"
Was originally a 4 bed.
Am another who thinks a dining room should not be called a bedroom.

EDIT - as is the way of things, there has been a space inserted in the link I posted so if you want to see what I mean, remove the space in the word "country"0 -
The house in Chatham isn't particularly cheap for the area.
If you do a Rightmove search for Kent, houses only, 2 or more beds you get 968 results (obviously none of them in Canterbury, Sevenoaks or Tunbridge Wells, though)!0 -

I've seen spot the cat comments before, but I've never really tried to find one. Are they normally easier than this?
The cat is usually very easy to spot but this one was hard.
I looked again and it's in Pics 5, and 13. Possibly in Pic 15 but not sure.0 -

Giraffes! 2 whole, and one head only (over the baby's cot for heavens sake!).
And EA from chest down, squatting! :rotfl:0
