Good job you never saw our last-but-one house - apart from other *stuff* we had 200 cases of taxidermy butterflies in the hallway
Looks like a very interesting house

My inlaws have several cases of preserved butterflies they bought whilst living in Malaysia 30 years ago, they make me shudder to look at them even now

I think it's lovely too, and I wouldn't describe the kitchen as anywhere close to "grim". It looks gorgeous and very well looked after. In fact the whole house does.Mayflower10cat wrote: »Huge potential here, in this 30's Deco house, untouched and in need of serious updating. The kitchen, oh my word, utterly original and grim.

I always wince when I see the comment "does require some updating" in the details of a house. I expect to see it back on the market some time later emasculated and with the phrase "upgraded to a high standard" or some such. Just like this one:

Cheap laminate flooring, a kitchen that will have fallen apart after 5 years, sterile garden and a bathroom out of a Premier Inn.
Give me "well maintained" and "loved" over "trendy" and "up to date" any day.Come on people, it's not difficult: lose means to be unable to find, loose means not being fixed in place. So if you have a hole in your pocket you might lose your loose change.0 -

I want that kitchen
You want the kitchen, I want the G Plan coffee table in pic 7. That's worth a fortune. I also now really want a house with rounded corner windows... swoooooon.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing?

I don't think that's cladding, from what I recall of the area it's the local building material!0
