Even though we moved into our home 6 months ago I am still getting my daily rightmove fix via email (after looking for so long weaning myself off the local market has been hard to do!)

This popped up and I thought "oh my what a beautiful house" (and it seemed to need no work doing to it - unlike the place we bought...) The features near the windows in picture 20 though - I have spent ages wondering if there is a toilet in there and where it is - perhaps in a wardrobe for privacy? :rotfl:

I love that house.

I have to admit to having a soft spot for this house... http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-35039635.html I used to have to drive past it several times a week... It came onto the market just as we had purchased our current home - I was thrilled it was over our budget :rotfl:

Not so much "what is the estate agent thinking" - more "what on earth was the vendor thinking?" with that "pipes on the wall syndrome" thing going on (ie all those pipes on show in the bathroom).

I just don't get why on earth pipes are ever on show anywhere - and for them to be on show as from half way up the wall going upwards, so very difficult to deal with. I think those bathrooms that have pipes going along near to and parallel with the bathroom floor are bad enough (tell me about it - my house has them and I'm on the third go of having done something to box them in and hide them. With it being a starter house to me it hasn't been worth my while to rip up the floor and put them out of sight, as the previous owner should have done in the first place).

The pipe in pic 13 would make it very difficult to have a bath/shower. :rotfl:

Mind you, I shouldn't criticise too much, my place is going on the market in the next few days. Hopefully I won't see it on this thread, although I will admit to one bunch of twigs.

Me 3!!! Have taken so much care staging my flat which went on the market today, half with a view to getting it sold the other half to make sure it doesn't end up on this thread :rotfl:

:pI would think the same as you two if I put my house up for sale. Maybe putting it on here would get free publicity though.:D

Every house I like from the outside has some horrible caveats...

Check this one out on the streetview and satellite map.

A renovation project that needs loads of work and money thrown at it.
A little (over-priced) cottage in the middle of the Somerset countryside.

Then check out the neighbours on the aerial view and erm .......
Not worth the effort is it.

What is the estate agent thinking with these pictures? Number 4 is my favourite! http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-24303963.html

And pics 14 & 15.
Now I want to know what's written on the sign.
"Please Do Not Throw Stones At This Sign" maybe ... .. .

No Earl Shilton was murdered in the house. As he was going up the stairs someone hit him with a statue.

Where the hell is Earl Shilton, anyway? I take it it's not the nicest of areas?

It's between Leicester and Coventry, a fairly large rural village. The area is ok, there are cheaper and much more expensive properties nearby.

There must be something about houses called 'Old Well Cottage' - we have one next to our house in a similar state of (dis)repair......the thatched roof has seen better days and now looks more like a grassy hillock that has sunk in the centre. Apparently when it rains the water goes straight through the thatch into the bath below
