    I would me more worried about the structure. Look at the missing bricks above the upstairs window, diagonal crack in brickwork above front door etc.

    There's a house about 10 min walk from my home which my dad discovered. It's a detached property with two bay windows (built 30s-late 40s) and the rendering has fallen off between the two bays. Massive crack on one side - which can put hand in. Seen the owner - in his 90s and can see when the house goes on the market, some mortgage companies may not give a mortgage.

    The latest SV update is 2013 and doesn't show the full crack, can see a crack in the rendering.

    We had those brown bathroom tiles floor to ceiling on every wall in the bathroom when we moved into this house! They pop up a couple of times a year on this thread it seems  :#

    The building looks like something you see in an industrial estate. Only modern thing in the property is the Ikea Poang chair.

    Also, according to floor plan, why is there a toilet within a bathroom with a toilet already in it?

    And with all that space, why is there a fridge freezer in one of the rooms?
    And UGH! Storage heaters!

    Added July 2016 - but for sale long before that. No price reduction either

    They haven't even made the pin on the map correspond with the location. Sheesh!

    I'd not noticed that. It points to the hotel where we held our wedding reception, when it was independent and very posh - or so we though, truth was we could walk there 

    The bungalow has a history, more to the poor listing than stated 
    OK, I'm intrigued about the history!  We have actually been looking for bungalows and it does irritate me when they are advertised as bungalows but actually have an upstairs (dormer/chalet etc).  Also they advertise a double garage but the floor plan suggests that half of it has been converted.

    The boiler in the kitchen looks pretty new.
