What is up with the construction of that house?!
Was it originally just the red brick middle section and someone has rather unsympathetically bunged those bits on either end??What matters most is how well you walk through the fire0 -
625k? This is for the whole town, right? Still seems overpriced :rotfl:(Apologies to anyone from Rotherhampicklepick wrote: »What is up with the construction of that house?!

The house we bought last year whilst being sold as a 'half-finished project' requiring major building work, had been lived in by a family with two kids for some years - that didn't stop them (the owners, not the kids) painting one of the attic bedrooms a symphony in blood red and deep pink and attaching simply masses of hooks from every beam (it's a 200+ year old house) which DH took to be a sign that they liked to indulge in activities of a *certain* nature:eek: Mortgage-free for fourteen years!

"**REDUCED FOR QUICK SALE ** Enviably located on the rural fringe of Aughton, this superbly proportioned four bedroomed detached family residence offers a highly versatile and extensive range of accommodation having been considerably extended from its 1930's origins"
Yup. That's what it looks like.
You know what gets me? Not the gigantic telly, or the Elvis statue on its own little rug in the middle of the room or the 'lurve thang' bedroom decor - it's the bathroom in Pic 21.
Even locked away in the bathroom, there's no respite from the brass, the chandeliers, the tacky.....tackiness.....um, I'm sorry words fail me. There's no escaping from the truly awful decor not even in the littlest room.
Even the garden is twee and fussy. And what is up with the paint job on the kitchen cabinets?!:huh: Don't know what I'm doing, but doing it anyway... :huh:0 -

Aw, don't diss the kitchen, it's the best room :rotfl:. Actually, despite the decor, thr rooms are lovely and big and bright, and a lovely big plot, it could be great. But not at that price :eek:.A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort Mortgage Balance = £0

I wondered whether there really was an Elvis something or other there or whether the EA had a bit of fun using his/her graphics package.0 -

I confess, I have a hook in the beam in my bedroom.
It has a punchbag hanging from it. Tsk, tsk, you dirty minded lot. They deem him their worst enemy who tells them the truth. -- Plato0 -

Nothing wrong with this one at all. It just absolutely blew me away, especially when compared to what you'd get for the same money in Belgravia!
http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-22398876.html
Top put the sheer ridiculousness of the Belgravia prices into perspective, my parents used to own a flat in Belgravia - bought in the 1970's for around £70k. They almost bought a house in Pimlico for not much more, which would now be worth in the tens of millions. Somebody tell me how and why London prices have skyrocketed the way they have?! (Incidentally, parents ended up buyin a cottage in rural surrey as a "temporary" residence and have been there for the last 20 years. lol).
***Edit*** Spoke to my father...I was *way* out on the Belgravia flat price....my parents had a 2 bedroom maisonette with a small garden area and paid less than £20k for it...I think £18k ish. This was in the 1970's. To say I am jealous does not cover it. lol.0
