Am I wrong to get nostalgic about the old fashioned toilet cistern with a proper chain?

Depends what they've married it to.

In our house the toilet pan was not matched correctly to the trendy high cistern the previous owners decided to install. The result is that anyone who fails to lower the lid pre-flush, may have their shoes washed free of charge.

a pizza oven in the garden? Very interesting.

They may be Italian vegans who feel it's more use than a barbie.

I prefer to see it as the Three Little Pigs' house of bricks.

Missing or wonky cupboard doors in the kitchen and bedroom (pics 4 & 5), and spot the motorway at the end of the garden (pic 7).

Doesnt look like the vendor realises the agent has pulled a flanker with that garden photo - in order to save himself having trips to the house that would be wasted (eg because the viewer is a non car-owner themselves and therefore won't put up with traffic noise).

That one is a real shame because it looks like a reasonable house. The wonky doors are largely irrelevant. If the purchaser wanted to keep them they are easily fixed.

No the real sadness is the proximity of the motorway - it makes the house virtually unsaleable. At the very least it has a serious impact on it's value. The noise levels must be horrendous.

Shame because apart from that it would make a nice family home.

For some, the proximity to the motorway could be a positive benefit. Noise? That's where double-glazing comes in useful. The Scandinavians go in for triple-glazing. In such a house I'd go for it, too

yes nice to be near the motorway for travelling the house just needs a little updating.

Would it be possible to triple glaze the whole garden?

No amount of glazing will get rid of noise on a summer's day when you want the windows open (especially at night) I live on a moderatly busy urban road and traffic noise keeps me awake even with windows closed

Missing kitchen door isn't missing - it's a 'designer feature' of pull out wicker baskets. However, there are mis matched handles/knobs, but surely that's not a deal breaker - unlike the wooden ceiling in the reception room..
