There are 6 para's of waffle and not even a floor plan. Enjoy!
I love reading descriptions from Fine estate agents. There are two styles of writing that they use. The first style reads like an extract from a Mills and Boon novel but without the saucy stuff!
The second style reminds me of the slightly rubbish short stories that we had to write for English exams in school.
I’m just waiting for a description that ends ‘I woke up and it was all a dream”

Nothing particualry wrong with the house, but the camera/pictures/photographer need changing (why make every room look so looong!) and get rid of the shadow on pretty well every photo at the bottom! I found myself checking for that first by the 4th photo! http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-32296720.html0
