    No sh*t Sherlock :rotfl:

    I would have said 40.

    It's been a while since we had a cherry? bathroom suite with a frilly shower curtain.

    A strange mix of aspiration and hopelessness.
    A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.

    Not sure if I've ever seen that many patterns in one place.

    Your right it is an absolute gem.

    Over half a mill house great, photo 2 does inspire me with confidence but things could get better, photos 3 to 11 dont show me a house worth half a mill, photo 12 is just hideous, a ghastly colour for a sink and bath.

    Is Photo 14 a bedroom or just a room for crap, no sheets on the bed.
    To me it looks like they have tried to squeeze toilets in at the last minute.

    The wallpaper is just hideous throughout, not worth the amount its priced at especially when you will need to spend a decent amount to get it back to a decent standard.

    Why put these pictures on RightMove? Saw house in agents window and thought I would like some idea of what it's like inside. Not only was I disappointed but there were a couple of other houses I spotted at about the same price with proper pictures, one of which I am tempted to view.

    The road is reasonably popular but surely you should try harder than this?

    Says 'no chain' which I'm reading as 'hostile tenant who's 'had a S21.'

    Probably on boards concealing spindles. There was a thing in the 50s and 60s to put plywood over doors, fireplaces and staircase spindles and people are now removing these bits of plywood.
