The "have a look at this!" thread II

I've always liked some of the Kent villages - and found this one

Minster is a quaint village - but literally a stone's throw from Kent International Airport. Apparently there are some question marks about what its future is going to be (I would like to know too!)

As for the property, methinks a surveyor might have a 'field day' inspecting a property built around 1720...

If you look closely you can see a tap so it's most likely to be a samovar.

Sadly no garage, as you're living in it

Somehow it looks bigger with no furniture.

It is only bricks and mortar.

Buying a probate property probably means a good price, a seller who just wants it sold, no chain problem and a chance to make your it your own.

No point in paying a premium for one that has been "flipped" for you.

It is amazing how even a few simple changes to the garden can make somewhere feel different. I suppose a garden requires the investment of time and care and then grows up as "your" garden.

However I know what you mean "25 Cromwell Street" was probably best demolished.

I wouldn't rule out a probate sale at all. I've viewed a couple of houses where I didn't like the alterations e.g. a bungalow with the loft space converted into two bedrooms. I would prefer not to have sloping ceilings, doors into the eaves and a narrow, steep staircase. Maybe its the odd dimensions and gloominess that give me the feeling of "something isn't quite right". I'll be moving from a bright and airy house that has been a happy family home for many years to somewhere smaller so it may take me a while to turn it into my home.

Blimey, if the house is that untidy, what sort of a mess would your teeth be left in....

I deliver magazines around my local village, and two houses were formerly dentists that I had teeth removed in over 30 years ago ......... I'm reminded of it every time I walk to their front doors. I wouldn't want to live in either of those.

Any Elvis fans on here? - How about this for kerb appeal?

I think it's rather cute.

But it seems to be at the top end of the price range for 1 beds in the area which for me is too much. Personally I'm not happy with a bathroom on a different level to the bedroom and would be looking for such properties to sell at a discount.
