Is it a bath for very small people or is it just the perspective?

Short, wide people by the look of it, but it's hard to know from the non-instructive floorplan. According to that, the house has no windows.



That EA really is the pits.

The property has been occupied by an elderly person in recent times and some modernisation can be carried out to individual taste and requirements.

Like removing the avocado bath tidy.

Chwarae teg for still playing the electric guitar at their age, though.

He gets around doesn't he. Perhaps that's why there's concentration-camp style fencing in the back garden.

Sea glimpse ... glimpse of Ballard Down ... view over the rooftops to the Purbeck Hills ... sea glimpse

No mention of the kitchen extractor duct.

Yes, I think he is pretty relaxed about nobody buying his home in a hurry

Oddest place to build your garages and new owner will need to cut the grass before using it.

That layout is awful!

Upstairs bedroom has to go all the way downstairs, through the dining area & lounge, to get to the main bathroom.

Access to the back garden is not pleasant.


Whoever's had that place has done too much to it, nearby property sold for £238k in May

Picture 2 could nearly be a black and white picture. Picture 9 - play 'Spot the Human'.

Wowsers, that is a narrow kitchen!!! No chance of too many cooks in there!

Paul Mc Cartney and Keith Richards are both the wrong side of 75 and youngster Pete Townshend, now 74, inspired the Zimmers, who have a combined age of 3120 years...


You're never too old to rock! :cool:

Somebody's got a nerve. This utter wreck is on at a million quid:
https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-71239246.html

Yet it was last offered in January 2018 at £930,000
https://www.zoopla.co.uk/property-history/42-tollington-road/london/n7-6pg/46225825

And only finally sold in March this year at £890,000:
https://www.zoopla.co.uk/property/42-tollington-road/london/n7-6pg/15118941

So it looks to me like someone came along and paid £890,000 for a wreck that had taken a year not to sell. The lucky buyer has now worked out that even if refurbished, it won't sell for more than it's going to cost. So back on the market it goes - at a price 12% higher than 5 months ago.

That place will have cost £951,200 including stamp duty but not including other transaction costs. The vendor obviously figures the house owes him £960k, so he's put it on at a million quid expecting to offload it at a bargain £980k and get all the money back.

GLWT, as the young people say. If this buyer couldn't do it up and flip it for a profit at £890k who's going to pay him £100k more than that??

Aah, but it’s a well known fact that having an NW postcode means that deluded buyers don’t think twice about spending a fortune on a wreck on a busy A road.

I wonder how long it will take for the vendor to find some coffee to smell when he (or she) wakes up?
