    It would only take about £2000/£3000 to reinstate the drive and I'm sure you could negotiate that off the price or have it done as a condition of sale

    Yes - this could easily be done. If the garden was larger this wouldn't be an issue (for me) but you would lose a fair bit for a driveway to the garage, and then the fencing would need to done again for security, making it appear even smaller.

    I absolutely love this thread - trashing tacky houses! Having said that, I am the owner of a vase of twigs in one room!!

    The details say:
    "In need of a full programme of repair and refurbishment" Then a little later:
    "PLEASE NOTE THAT THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY TENTANTED ON LICENSE"
    Who on earth would rent a place in this state?!!!

    [e.t.a] Nice views though :)

    This so looks like a footballer's pad. I wonder who's been transferred this year.

    How about renting a flat with a magical address, scroll down to Full Description to get the full address

    http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-to-rent/property-39237461.html

    I can imagine people never believing you when you tell them your address

    I so want that address! You can just imagine the response when you try and flag a taxi home though.. "Look love, I'm a cabbie, not a Commander in the Starfleet".

    Eh? "Second star to the right and straight on till morning" is the way to Neverland.

    That is illogical....
    :huh: Don't know what I'm doing, but doing it anyway... :huh:

    Oh I know it is Peter Pan, but if you asked for an address for a star without Peter Pan, you'd need a rocket ship. That's how it works in my strange jumbled head anyway.

    Ha, I'm not sure any current Leeds United players could afford to live there!
