    Sunken bath the colour of sick, more cladding than you can shake a stick at, blue and green check ceiling, mirrored walls and a swimming pool (In Barnsley?!?!?!?!?)

    Before I go any further I have to say - in my defence - that I am still doing up my house from when we moved in. However that green patterned carpet - the first one that looks like it belongs in a Harvester - I have in my house in a fetching shade of orange:eek:.

    We went to look at this house mid 2006, they wanted over 100k for it. We turned up to view with some guy sitting on the sofa in tracksuit bottoms and a vest, place was dark, untidy with small kitchen.... great 70ft garden or so with fruit trees but like a jungle! went upstairs and the bathroom smelt vile and was dirty, the bedroom was dark red with dark blue painted cupboards. second bedroom ok but small.

    We didn't buy it thankfully but it sold for £94k in Nov 06, now back up for sale at £80k having been repossessed. narrow escape! garden at front looks the same now as it did then and no inside pics either so I bet not much has changed.

    I've never seen those before, thanks! I love 50s retro, I can just imagine washing up in a kitchen like that, with a sinkfull of Homemaker china. Lovvverly.

    If you're trying to put us off so you can snap it up......... it worked :rotfl:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
