Which isn't stylish in the form of a loo seat. Doesn't it make it look a bit public toilety?

A black seat on a white loo does remind me of a public toilet. Not keen on the decor as the only non-black, cream, white and brown in the photos were the green tiles in the kitchen and toiletries in the bathroom.

But not as bad as dark mahogany on white imho

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).

I wonder how long the EA had to stand poised with camera to get a shot with no cars in.

Black tiles... the new twigs?

I think the great big blue line on the map on the property page does the job better than any picture of an embankment. I doubt anyone stupid enough not to notice that is going to pay attention to the embankment at the end of the garden.

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.

To be fair, the motorway was there first, by a long way and it would appear all the houses sold at least once since they were built.

We live about 200 meters away from a motorway and the only time you can hear it, even with the windows wide open is if the wind is in a certain (non-prevailing) direction. Even then it is just a mild rumble. But there are houses in the area - further away than us - that are really blighted by the noise. If you went to look at them on a Sunday morning, you would think they were the most tranquil home possible, but hidden around a kilometre away at the end of the rolling pasture is the motorway with no screening, banking or anything else to deflect the sound. You can't always judge how loud or quiet a place will be by a photograph.

Another black tile bathroom.Never see the appeal with those as it shows the watermarks so much easier than white/pale.

This is very true. When we moved out of our old house (distance to main road 200m) and into a temporary rented property in a 'posh' street 500m from the same road, we were astonished to find it was louder. Not only that, but the background city rumble was louder too.

The posh road and its surrounding area was all very well wooded, so this seemed to defy logic. However it was much higher, whereas our old road was on a sort of shelf behind rows of terraced houses which stood between it and the main road. We concluded that much of the noise must have literally gone over our heads.
