    Perhaps they had started wrapping stuff up for a previous sale that fell through and couldn't be bothered to undo it!
  • Or it’s tenanted and the tenants don’t want their belongings on the internet.

    This is literally plastic sheeting tucked round stuff on shelves - hence it looking a bit strange!

    This would be my bet - I almost want to view it to see if there is anything particularly contentious among their book collection! (Or to see if they cover all the things up again for viewings, too!)

    When  had my house pics taken, I covered up some shelves mostly to reduce the visual clutter after I had had a tidy up
    and things probably went randomly onto a shelf rather than on the floor, as is my natural tendency.

    Sorry, not weird and no animals or people involved.

    This one caught my eye because I think it's a reasonable price for a 2-bed, but I like the garden. I just like the idea that some FTBs, perhaps younger, could buy this to get onto the property ladder and have a good sized garden.

    That's better than my garden. (I know there will be plenty of people with their Surrey estates.)
  • I was having a quick look on right move a bit ago and saw myself which was weird.

    House was opposite my daughters old nursery and there in the picture of the garden was us on the nursery run. Interesting because my daughter hadn't attended that nursery for a year and that car was scrapped months before the house was listed so they where using old photos to advertise for some reason.

    Our son is on streetview waiting for the bus. It’s quite clearly him although they have fuzzed out his face. Made me chuckle.

    My husband cycling through our village.  He knew the car had passed him but couldn't quite remember where so took a circuit round to find him.
