Love the England flag at half mast outside. Classy!

Yes - that's brilliant.0 -
A bit of ivy can enhance the quaintness quota, but this must surely be damaging the fabric of the building.

It seems to have been cut back a bit since this June 2009 streetview was taken, maybe they can get a telly picture now.0 -

As it's Mundesley, it's a toss-up whether the ivy brings the house down before the whole lot collapses into the sea.
No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
Have they accidentally added an extra zero?

They often take ages to sell - OH and I are in that age group and although we don't have children at home we have a large house.....our children have 4 soon to be 6 children between them and who come and stay with us during holidays and over Xmas and New Year. Plus other other friends and relatives who come and stay.
We have a double garage that is OH's workshop. When the grandchildren are grown up and stop coming to visit for as long or as often and OH has given up his hobbies then maybe we might think about a retirement property - just maybe.
Have you seen the service charges on some of the properties - not housing association property but private ones.
This is one where we used to live.

council tax £1350
ground rent £450
service charge £1700
So living there isn't cheap to start with.0 -
