    Sorry, but to me it's ugly, bleak and lacking in greenery (false grass won't do). Years ago, many people had terraced houses with no gardens and would have loved one. Having all that bleak concrete seems a backward step and not at all child friendly (nasty trips on hard surface).


    The interior looks bare, though that is due to the current owners taste, but the photos are poor (unless the rooms don't have 'square' corners ) , though they make the rooms look larger. People may have been disappointed at the reality of the actual room sizes (difficult to picture from listed measurements).

  • -The garden looks like a trip to A&E waiting to happen - all those sharp edged walls and steps and paving slabs for a curious toddler to run in to and fall off.
    -All the bedroom doors have glass panels - if this is a forever home then surely you're going to want some privacy when the kids start to get older?
    -The spiked metal railings - why??
    -Laminate floor in the living room, looks cheap and unwelcoming.
    -Horrible faux leaded windows in the kitchen and bathroom
    -Uselessly tiny bedrooms
    -Ugly 'quiffed' pointed roof thing - the house looks like a bad mish mash of architectural styles
