Veranda? What veranda? http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-33431875.html

I think the person that wrote the description has no idea what a veranda is.

Probably nothing wrong with the house but you're left wondering what the pictures are hiding.....

Expect to see the seller on here soon asking why their house isn't selling.....

Am I looking at the wrong set of pics? it didn't seem that bad too me. It can't be easy photographing an empty house as there is often nothing much to show.

When I saw that house earlier on in the thread, I was quite surprised that it had quite a funky bathroom.

The rest of it looks like something out of a gothic horror movie.

The manniquin on the sofa what is that had to look at the picture twice.

I think I'd draw the line at that one.

It reminds me of the Rhyd-y-Car Ironworkers' Houses at St Fagan's (ah open–air museum and heritage attraction, "travel through time as you see six homes, their contents and gardens change from 1805 to 1985")

Was also shocked at how modern and out of place the bathroom is!

As an aside, theres a similar thing in the national* slate museum in Llanberis. 4 Small cottages and how they have changed through time.

*By 'national' they mean 'Welsh' and if you dont speak Welsh, prepare to made less than welcome on your visit there.

The agent blurb says "ideal for DIY enthusiasts!" who ever buys that will need a lot more than enthusiasm!!

I thought that, but then when I looked again, it reminded me of some local council houses that about 5 years ago had new exteriors put on to their houses. Could be the same here?

I think you may be right, DH is from Medway and I remember MIL & FIL talking about an estate that had all the fronts replaced on the council owned ones and you could tell the private ones because they stood out like a sore thumb as they looked old whereas the council ones looked brand new.

Also there's a couple of terraces on the way to my parents of MOD houses and a few years ago they had to fronts pretty much replaced. It's very odd, you look at them and can't quite tell if they're brand new or 30 years old.
