    Pic 2

    Is the Venus De Milo stood in the front garden, or is it just a nasty reflection?

    Yes it is but don't worry, according to the Vendor

    she is "armless":o

    Some sort of white van coming out the side of this house? [pic 1]
    Apparently "within 1 mile of the M2 motorway"....

    Actually it says The property benefits from easy access to the M2 motorway giving excellent commuter links.

    if you look at the concrete slab and armco at the bottom of the back garden, the M2 is accessible with a double ladder :eek:

    Is anyone else getting sick to death of seeing black work tops and brown bathrooms? Hasn't anyone got any imagination???

    I have black worktops :(. But they are sparkly :).

    That is former Cardiff City/Bolton/Aston Villa player Jlloyd Samuel's house. You can see his photo on the wall in pic 7. And it certainly looks like a footballer's house, doesn't it?

    I read the last page before coming to this, looked at the house and immediately thought "footballer". The I saw the pic but not being a footie fan, I didn't know who it was.

    The outside looks a bit trashed and derelict...inside is interesting!

    Love the trashed phone box.

    I'm guessing the posh kitchen and living room belong to the building outside.

    Weird! Feel like I'm looking at several different houses there. So many styles of decor.

    It certainly confused me. I looked a pic 2 and was surprised and then looked at pic 3 and wondered why they needed 2 kitchens :o
    1 nice and 1...

    Then I looked at pic 4 and thought that the EA had accidentally added some pics from a different house :o but in pic 9 I realised what it was all about!

    I thought the stables were derelict but I've just noticed some horses.
