    How do they watch the TV based on the locations of the sofa, armchairs and tv?

    There is no sofa, armchairs or tv in that house.

    Property sold and probably the previous owner has died.

    Description should include 'Not been updated since 1973'

    The gas one either didn't work or they were afraid to use it, so they used the electric one instead.

    I was looking yesterday online at my late uncle's house which my cousins are selling. My uncle and aunt lived there over 50 years, it was a happy home and I enjoyed visiting them.

    So sad to see it now empty, with faded wallpaper and crazy carpets. It didn't seem to look like that when they lived there.

    I must admit I shed a tear or two.

    Strange that there's a double hearth to accomodate 2 fires aswell. It would make more sense if the gas one was in the middle and they'd put an electric one next to it. But it has it's own space. Bizarre!

    Was idly searching on the most expensive properties in W1 - after a while I got sick of soulless, almost corporate interior design and bland dark colours..... Then, oh joy! I found the perfect antidote in this quirky, but cheerful, flat....

    Oh my god! What the actual hell is that a painting of in the lounge?! It's the girl from the Ring or the Grudge or something. She's gonna climb out the painting in the night and possess you!!

    I was very disappointed by the kitchen though. It's so.... normal!

    It looks like some sort of alter or shrine. Wonderful quirky flat. I do wonder if the kitchen is from another property as it is so out of character with the rest of the property.

    And what are all those boxes on the kitchen windowsill? Are they boxes of tea?
    It is a good idea to be alone in a garden at dawn or dark so that all its shy presences may haunt you and possess you in a reverie of suspended thought.
