It's a studio flat (that's a room, to you and me) for £1.5mn.

Pic 6 Nice garden feature. Do they get paid a fee for having that there?

:eek:I still don't understand how they can do that to people:eek:

Having said that - betcha there's nothing they could do to stop the home-owner concerned growing something up it. A couple of particularly rapid ivy plants grown up it, for instance, would help to at least mask the ugliness aspect.

My friend lives on the same street and has a pylon at the end of the garden but not actually in the garden. It has its own bit of land boxed in by 3 other gardens. I was so surprised to see it just there in the lawn. Surely this is some kind of health and safety issue?
I know we have to have pylons but just there in the garden open to climb up if felt the need. I imagine this to be on the market a long while.
Imagine the static:eek:

Yes they do. Anyone who has power poles on their land gets a wayleave payment for the poles and extra little additions for the stays etc. I would imagine the amount is more for these huge pylons than for the tiddly ones that many country properties have.

We get £40 /year for our small poles, two of which aren't visible from the house or garden, and all about 100m away. Thankfully, the electricity actually comes underground to the house from a pole in the neighbour's garden.

As regards charged particles, even the small wires carry a field of enough strength to be easily detected with dowsing rods. I believe that a fluorescent tube may be lit from the field around the big lines, so a definite selling point if you site a shed under them, don't you think?;)

It's a really weird layout as well - no ensuite to the master bedroom, the upstairs level in two unconnected parts... Looking at the building, has this been constructed from several flats over two floors knocked together and would that void area in the middle be someone else's home?

Have another look - the master bedroom, bathroom and gym ARE a suite - you have to come out of the bedroom to go to the bathroom or gym but it's all shut off from the rest of the house - there is a door from the hall. Our bedroom, bathroom and wardrobe arrangements are similar - on a much smaller scale and without the gym (and upstairs) - but you open the door off the landing and walk into a corridor of wardrobes and a bathroom - you have to leave the bedroom proper to go to the bathroom (if you were married to OH you would understand what a bonus that is) - but it's still ensuite. One of our other bedrooms, has what I guess you would call a "normal ensuite" where the bathroom door is in the bedroom and so are the wardrobes.

The big void is above the dining area and part of the lounge - they have opened the space up to include the top floor windows - the room probably looks really impressive with a double height ceiling.

My mind is boggling more at the way the EA describes it as a "purpose built" flat. Huh?:cool: To me, it looks like a small terrace house and the door on the right is the front door. Someone has put in an extra door on the left-hand side and reconfigured inside to turn it into two flats. Since when was that "purpose built"?

I live near this property. They were built about 18 years ago and was on the site of the old swimming baths. I think it used to house the part time police station.

Pic 1 - The sign says sold, the advert proves otherwise.

Pic 3 - Maybe the photographer was scared of the elephant on the wall and that's why they didn't stop long enough to take a blur-free photo

Pic 6 -The bed seems to sink in the middle and there might be stuff hidden under the cover

Pic 7 - Taken by a giant?

I think from the position of the sold sign, it could be the neighbours sold their place.

I lived in an estate where one of these was in the middle of it. The constant buzzing noise from them when I walked past them did my head in.

Doh! Thank you

Some awful colours but the bathroom (picture 10) is epicly bad. Would not want to go in there with a hangover.
