    I really, really like this but it's a shame that they are having a laugh with the price - they've obviously improved the place but £105k's worth? http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-27238065.html

    (Also, "timber house" sounds like it would need some careful investigation).

    £350k asking price and it's in CT Band B? Well, I know Stoke Gabriel is posh.....

    I notice the agent mentions distances to Totnes, Plymouth and Exeter, but 'forgets' that Paignton is just over the hill! ;)

    If you look on the satellite view, the old mushroom farm to the north with the 3 polytunnels made us very excited in 2002. Just before we made an offer, the owners looked into the abyss, made up their differences and took it off the market. :mad:

    On second thoughts, maybe they looked into a crystal ball and saw prices were about to go ballistic...:rotfl:

    We could've been neighbours. Growing [STRIKE]dope[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]mushrooms[/STRIKE] ornamental plants to service Totnes and Torbay :silenced:

    It's back on the market. Just saying... http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-35575207.html?premiumA=true

    What did I say about prices there? Nearly £700k for an ag-tied bungalow! :eek:

    Thanks for that. It looks as if there have been a few changes for the better. We only viewed places that were knackered and untidy, which is why we are where we are! :o

    EA fancies himself as a true artist with moody, monochrome shot of the kitchen (pic 5). I think he's been on the Photoshop with pic 1 too, unless the vendor really has a white carpet?

    Isn't it just a moody monochrome kitchen?

    This is definitely one of the worst collections of photos I've seen:

    Sack the photographer!

    Saving towards a loft conversion first, then to smash the mortgage down!

    And the employee who can barely write English. I suspect an internet "service"?

    Looking at the area, I'd say that Eve's storage would be up the apples & pears. ;)
