Most of the properties are 'Open plan' around here but I have oft wondered if that would help. I dont actually live there (i use it on&off) hence the lack of furniture - I live alone, likewise curtains blinds Etc.
Price is on par. At the lower end of tired 4 bed detached with no garden Etc and in a particularly good area. (Near train, bus, schools & shops but still quiet cul-de-sac)
Thanks for compliment SC. The building to left of that house you spotted is a 'presently being developed' secondary school. 3000 pupils.
So nothing TOO detrimental then.
I wonder if a change of agent will do it but they all use Rightmove so.....?

The kitchen is obviously new but I can't quite put my finger on why I don't really like it. I think its the far end I don't like, it seems confused, like it can't decide whether to be a study or a dining room or something else.
The desk puts me off for some reason. I love the kitchen, but I think the bit at the end should just be a dining room. I quite like the idea of a little dining room tucked at the end, but the desk immediately makes me think it's a small house so they had nowhere else to put it. I would ditch the desk and make it look like a nice dining area.
I agree re: the living room part which looks small and the sofa facing a wall is odd.
The lack of a wall between the two properties would put me off.0 -
So you paid 215k end of 2007, have you turned it from a 2/3 bed into a 4 bed or was it already like that when you bought it?
Maybe people are looking at the Zoopla estimate of £270331 and wondering why you want £110,000 more. I don't pay too much attenetion to Zoopla estimates but some do!0 -
Pic 2 confuses me. Do you have a block of flats at the end of your garden?!?0

If you look further you will see that the adjoining house - same size was on the market for £380k a couple of years back. I bought it as a wreck.
The back of my house - but if you thought it, others might.Pic 2 confuses me. Do you have a block of flats at the end of your garden?!?
And YES, I too hate the lounge - We usually site that sofa ACROSS the room facing TV but felt that the back of a sofa would't help either.
There is however, another sofa BEHIND the photographer facing the TV which would need to be a 60" to be able to view it comfortably."Unhappiness is not knowing what we want, and killing ourselves to get it."Post Count: 4,111 Thanked 3,111 Times in 1,111 Posts (Actual figures as they once were))Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.0 -
As other comments re living room set up
Kitchen looks great
Remove picture 14 - for both vertigo reasons and also looks more of a problem than it might be for anyone who may struggle with mobility issues0 -
I did wonder... but as it looks nothing like the front, I thought it must be a different building!
What's the view like the other way? No multi-story car parks or anything?
Nope. Just trees and the top of the neighbours shed at bottom of his garden."Unhappiness is not knowing what we want, and killing ourselves to get it."Post Count: 4,111 Thanked 3,111 Times in 1,111 Posts (Actual figures as they once were))Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.0 -
Just needs a little TLC. I am guessing you are male?
The Front room needs a better sofa or at least placement. The big sofa is placed in the narrowest space. Anywhere but there frankly. As has been said, lose the study area downstairs.
I think upstairs lets the place down. But all a quick fix.
All the curtains shown are horrible/bland. The main lampshade in pic 10 is particularly uninspiring and the thing on the floor beside the mirror looks like a kids potty- no offence. The bedside table nearest the viewer should be moved over to cover the socket. It is not a feature. The master Bed needs a headboard. The other rooms need beds and soft furniture in brighter/fresher colours. As it stands, the bathroom is the best room upstairs imo.0 -
Just my brief thoughts, please don't take offence.
Outside - colour out the front to break up the driveway and house - flower pots
Hallway - blue isn't everyone's cup of tea
Living room - shuffle the furniture. Maybe move the tv so the room is more "homely"
Kitchen - needs some personality. The configuration of furniture is slightly awkward
Bedroom 1 - brighter paint colours
Bedroom 3 - furniture. Lick of paint
Bathroom - much nicer than the description would suggest
Nothing matches. I'd suggest painting the hallway be a priority and adding finishing touches. It doesn't look lived in.
Make sure you get some good new photos afterwards and I reckon you'll get some people in. 0
