Anything wrong with this house?

House looks nice, shame about the garden.

Spose you could put decking or something over it....

I can see now why they have conveniently left this photo out!

I knew there was no off-street parking, that didn't bother me. The portal to hell in the back garden is quite another matter.

Disguise it as a hot tub

Put a garden shed on top of it and use the top half for storage

While it might not be hard to disguise, or pose any huge practical problems in daily life, the access chamber is just the sort of thing that ought to reduce the price and make the house a bargain....but it doesn't.


A similar house, admittedly with some dated and odd decor, sold for £90k about 6 months ago.


The EPC is wrong and makes no sense, but it is possibly pointing to some kind of non-standard construction issue, especially the tile-hung bit, but that's just a guess. It's significant though, because the assessor would surely know G makes the house un-rentable in its current form.

I think it's over-priced and might not be considered for a mortgage by some lenders if the EPC has any merit at all.

I'd expect a tree-lined drive and wrought iron gates for £115,000.


Seriously though it's 1960/70s construction so the party wall will be 2mm thick, it will be impossible to insulate properly because it was made of cardboard and it looks like it should be on that 'Ugly house' programme.


The raised manhole wouldn't bother me , build a wall round it and have a raised bed.
