Why hasn't this house sold yet?

My biggest issue would be the size of the two bedrooms. You can't even know a wall to make both of them one larger room. Not an issue with you have two children until the second gets to that age that they start questioning when big bro or sis got a nice large bed and then get the tiny one. The other option is that both get the bigger room, with the other smaller bedroom becomes play area (one each?), but again, becomes an issue if different sex after a certain age, and then if number 3 comes on, you back to square one.
I personally think it is a nice house for a few years, but not forever, unless you plan on making the cellar livable, but then you have to question if you can afford to do that, you wouldn't consider a different property.0 -
Could be because it's on a busy main road. Also it's near to the roughest council estate in Wakefield. And I imagine the local school will be on the rough council estateMarried 09/09/090

Next door to us is for sale and they are having this issue, it is not a three bed, it is two and cupboard, as was ours before we had a double height/width extension which they don't have the garden space to do. They are having real trouble selling it as a family home.The garden looks like a car park and is overlooked.

We had our pick of houses and have chosen a house on a busy road, one toddler and one on the way. The house is set back a bit and has a big garden. It didn't put us off in the slightest.0
