Street View! Is it the "mob" or the Google car that has spooked our vendors and caused them to come out armed with a broom?

Probably Prince Charles and associated 'suits', he's a regular informal visitor.

They have name tags, so they're an official party of some kind. Either that, or it's the annual outing of the Paddington Society.

Looks nice - and I like the area too (only marred by the "usual suspects" pavement parking:cool:).

All that I could see wrong with the house itself being that it's semi-detached and not detached and I'd want to change the colour of kitchen cabinets personally. OOh....and they've got one of those John Lewis garden thingies to sit in - I'd want that one to come with the house too...

That one would do me nicely - apart from being semi-detached.

First 'Another Bar', of 2019, but also with a 'spot the fish', as well!!

For a moment I thought there was a spot the dog too, until realised it was just a very realistic cushion on the bed! (pic 17)

Not been updated since it was built by the looks of it.

Love the kitchen. It's in perfect condition. But the shell bath in the bedroom.....:rotfl:
And oh so expensive.

I'm sure a little mermaid fan would love that bath!

Apparently it's an 8 bedroom property but under 'Features' it says "Stunning seven bedroom property". Going by the floor plan it looks like a 7 bed. Wonder what the approved planning permission is for.

Oh yes I agree, but we have now lived in our current house 34 years and we have had several rounds of 'updating' kitchen and bathrooms. Numerous bouts of decorating and many other jobs done which could be considered updating or moving with the times.

Times do change and many (most?) people do like to update fittings to suit those changes. How many of us would retain an avocado suite because it was still functional? Some would of course but many more would not.

I think that may change as people become more focused on environmental issues together with the ever decreasing quality of affordable newer products.... possibly set to get worse after the dreaded "B" word

Not just the over 70's:rotfl:.

But wouldn't have changed it just because it was 1980's style - the change would have been because it was pretty much falling apart by then after years of use.

My 80s kitchen is rock solid. Not many cabinets factory assembled available these days.

I liked it too and would definitely have negotiated for that pod However it did not make my list as it has no bath and the shower is far too new to consider ripping out.
