  • I'm wondering whether we have time to walk the hounds before it chucks it down.

    Looks like a great time was had with Ponyplops :)

    Love the gardens - not loving the chintz-iness throughout so much!!


    Hope weather improves, Al. Was lovely here yesterday (after a soggy Fri) and then I awoke to rain earlier - which looks like it's here on-and-off for the next 3 days :( Soggy summer hols (although nothing can be worse for me than 2007 summer hols when Glos had torrential rain on day 1 with floods and we ended up with no mains water for 16 days!!!!! (and no elec for just over 24 hours))

    I love that house! Obviously needs updating now, but there's plenty of room for that. Gorgeous.

    Not stair rods here, but fairly heavy and constant - difficult to do much without getting really soaked. I'm not stepping out to the shops, no way no how!

    Gardens are beautiful. It would take a fair few £ to renovate though.

    Nice house, I can see the potential after some updating. I do wonder why they left that heater plugged in for the photos though.

    I noticed that and thought probably to air it as the aga was off. You could say the same about the candlewick bedspreads!

    I think 80k to renovate. I would keep that fabulous kitchen and bathroom though. Just embrace the craziness.

    Liddly done. Plops out next.

    Love the house. Would keep the kitchen too...would change bathroom but love the potential.
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
