    This is a stunning cottage at a great price, but the house has a bad case of the measles in pic 7, and the owners seem to have a bad case of something else per pic 5:

    Nice house but I'll be having nightmares about the robot/dalek in pic 5 :o.

    Seems strange that the house needs buttresses though. I wonder whether that causes a damp problem?

    Then in the kitchen, they have the idea of fresh flowers, but isn't it usual to take the plastic wrapping off first.....

    They did take them off in the end....see pic 2 and 3....EA must have taken the kitchen pic first before they managed to peel off the cellophane and then the vendor must have ran into the lounge to arrange them before EA took those shots!:rotfl:

    Thats actually a good idea - reusing flowers around the house for the EA pics! (even better if you manage to take off the cellophane I guess!:D)

    They certainly do! This certainly couldn't be called a sympathetic renovation. All the dots in pic 7 made me think I was looking at a magic eye picture after a while because a wall seemed to be moving out at me: but that was the ceiling!

    The agent seems to be quite keen on "alpackers"

    My parents have an alpaca farm. When they give birth, it is called "unpacking"

    Got 100k & need a parking space ? Try this one in Kensington:http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-34663055.html


    Nice of them to include a floorplan. I'd have trouble visualising a rectangular box drawn on the ground otherwise......... :D
