PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

That brown & orange carpet seems to pop up repeatedly! We had it somewhere, and I think it ended up in the loft at our old house, covering the 2" thick insulation that was used in the days of fuel profligacy.ScarletMarble wrote: »Some lovely dated patterns clashing in the box room (pic 10) https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-80753717.html
