  • It's a horrible house, who in their right mind would pay £600k to live there? The mind boggles.

    Great detective work there Roz :)

    This is why Zillow in America is so much better than anything we have here yet.

    Every listing includes previous selling prices, days on the market, estimated rental, and all local schools including how good they are.
    Been away for a while.

    That's depressingly accurate but I'd still rather live in a nice house I can be proud of in an area that doesn't suffer from hyper-inflationary levels of HPI, especially if I were ever wanting to move up the ladder.

    Downstairs toilet wastes a lot of space sitting in a 10 foot corridor.

    Appears alterations have been internally over the years without much thought to best use of the space.
