Thanks megan for your advice. I think maybe I will take it off the market, have a good de-clutter and maybe look at going with another agent?£1 a day/£365 2011

I think the bedrooms particularly look very cluttered and very small in the photos. The net curtains all tied up in the frontage photo look very untidy too.
I looked at the Google picture, is the ambulance station next door noisy? I would automatically assume it was busy night and day and that would put me off. The garden looks quite small and miserable as well. Perhaps putting some bright flowers out there would make it more appealing.0 -
Hia
The photographs have made your lounge look tiny. I looked on the dimensions and could not believe my eyes that it was a 12 x 16 room. You may want to think about painting it a much lighter colour and getting rid of the alcove curtains. As a poster has stated above you have some very big furniture in cottage rooms so they are going to look smaller than they are. Having a four poster bed in the girls room has done it no favours, it really does not look as big as it is. Your rooms are bigger than they look. Have you thought about just dragging a light paint averywhere just to open it up a bit. Also and this can be expensive i know but if you know someone in the dtrade maybe try and get a lighter floor down as the dark flooring will always draw rooms in.
Good Luck to you though !
The glass is always half full, no exceptions !!:D0 -
Loved the look of the front of the house
Loved the fireplaces
Loved the kitchen
Garden I could live with
Upstairs started to loose my attention due to the clutter
No floorplan
The range of prices that you are asking made me dismiss it.0 -

Definatly get the photo of the front of the house to be the first one. When i look down pages of houses on rightmove if there isn't a picture of the front of the house as an image i feel like they have something to hide or the house if hideous from the outside. Your house looks lovely from the outside much nicer then new builds so you should make sure this is the first thing people see and draws them in.0

i like it but it looks claustrophobic which is odd when reading the room sizes which are ok
take off coats of backs of doors when taking pictures, take clutter off the top of kitchen cupboards, you have clutter in the dining room and its taken at an odd angle
the pink bedroom, just put stuff out of site for the pictures, it can come out again when the photographer has gone
also, the house is described as detached but looks attached?
you cant do anything about the layout so people wanting a hall wont come but its common for those types of houses, the pictures are always too dark i dont know if its estate agents that do it or rightmove
the garden looks harsh and not child friendly, even though you have kids0 -

i dont think its an ambulance station i think its an outpatients department or clinic?0 -
It looks like a nice house to me, the only thing that would put me off is this
"DRASTICALLY REDUCED FOR A QUICK SALE."
Makes me think there is something wrong with it!0
