Picture 2, Where does that tiny door go? Does it suffer from elves.
Perhaps they have a 'Dobby'
Agent should be ashamed for uploading such dreadful photos.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.

The pics are out of focus. I would have shot the estate agent if they were photos of my house!0 -
This is a lot of money for a not very attractive parking space:

I reckon you could rent car parking in that area for around £4.50 a day - so you'd probably need to keep this parking space for around 15 years to make it 'pay for itself' ....?
At the end of the day I suppose its all about the joy of ownership (amongst other things)0 -

It's right next to the station, so you might possibly get £25 a week for each parking space. 10% return, and no maintenance.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
15 year old camera without enough pixels?
Perhaps the person uploading the photos to "rightmove", wanted to get of home on time?
What I really dislike are the fish eye photos that quadruple the apparent length of the back garden etc,
They should be illegal.0 -

You are spot on, a fiver a day to park there.
It says the current owner just took down the existing garage - how tight is that! That space is just begging for the caravan dweller to move onto, in that area too....
£245K for a beach hut anyone?

Even if I'm on the shopping threads, it doesn't mean I'm buying! Sometimes it's good to just look and then hit the CLOSE button!0 -
Lovely inside but they do resemble a row of portaloos from the outside
If they could knock £200K off the price, I might be interested.0 -
Dear Miss 1966
We have been retained by the owners of the registered trade mark:
We must insist that
"Portaloo" is part of "Portakabin Limited" and has been supplying high-quality portable toilet, washroom and shower facilities for hire and sales for more than 40 years. The name "Portaloo" was registered as a trade mark on 15 February 1966. Since that day, only portable toilet and shower units produced by the Portakabin group can be called "Portaloo" buildings.
Sometimes people use our client's company name and product names wrongly as you have done
As a pioneer in the development of relocatable and modular accommodation and as an international market leader in the industry, we always work hard to prevent this.
In short - "Portaloo" is a protected, exclusive trade mark that can only be used to describe the products of the company Portakabin Limited.
We take particular exception to you comparison of our high technology seamless product to some inferior cramped accommodation cobbled together on site.
We must insist that you cease and desist from any repetition of this attack on the quality and status of our unique product.
Yours,
xxxxxxxxxx
As demonstrated in the Mac Alpine case, irresponsible "cyberspace" attacks on reputation can no longer be tolerated.0
