  • I posted the link simply because I thought people would enjoy seeing such a beautiful house. Of course I couldn't afford the bills - or the house! But one can dream, and admire.

    It was not meant to provoke a diatribe on the veracity of Mr Hagman's claims regarding the solar panels he installed ... if that is what you are driving at.
    Could you begin to afford the bills?

    I think the photo voltaic on site generation of electricity should read
    77.5 kWp, which is the maximum that could be produced (and an industrial scale of production)
    As it's God who controls the weather (*) and the angle of the sun that dictates the actual number of watts being offered at any particular moment, I don't think the "realtor" knows what he is selling.

    I had a little campaign about a year ago against estate agents who advertised "gas central heating" in a village with no mains gas [but with a special government grant if they wanted to install a heat pump]

    High time these people went on a "retread" course to understand the new realities of space heating.

    (*) or thought he did until homo "sapiens" got in on the act. Sorry polar bears about the warm summer this year - we suffered too..

    You have to realise that Whitstable is no longer in East Kent as far as prices go. Like Brighton, it is now a bit of London that has been chipped off and dropped on the coast.

    By London standards that is a desirable price for a desirable home.

    Other towns in East Kent are still available for the Men & Maidens of Kent.

    Well I noticed the mini-cooker they have has a couple of hotplates by the look of it. Actually a mini-cooker with hotplates and a microwave would be enough cooking facilities for a noticeable number of people (not me personally I know...but not detracting from the fact it would do for some).

    I don't think the place is actually a "home" by the look of it. The fact that there are some kitchen units and a bathroom means someone could use it as a bedsit level home. The current owner obviously works from home and I suspect only has a weekday place-to-be and goes Home at the weekends.

    If Whitstable is indeed "semi-London" these days and, bearing in mind those transport links, then Mr Owner probably really has a Home/lives somewhere rather further away but needs access to London for work purposes. So - not bad for a pied-a-terre.
