    Not sure why you'd have three hoovers, or if you did, why you'd let them be in your house photos?

    'cos guitars and twigs in a pot are out of date. Gotta keep up with the latest house dressing trends.

    Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.

    I would say that someone is trying to make the property look cute and welcoming, to hopefully give someone a good early impression. Whether that works or not, I don't know. I do know that research into psychology often shows that people are more easily manipulated by minor things that most people would expect. 

    Maybe this is the housing equivalent of the Tory Party 'power stance'.

    Most garages are too small to put a car in these days. But we would only want it for storage anyway. We have 2 cars in this household, so would need enough room for those to be parked.

    How can you tell which way the garden is facing?

    Easy to see on the street map.

    the map view is always "North Up" so clearly the garden faces north so will get very little sun.

    It's a bit optimistic to describe the house as detached really isn't it? You certainly wouldn't need to leave your front door if you wanted to beg a cup of sugar from your neighbour.

    There are many detached houses around my way where extensions bring them within inches of each other. I'm not sure how anyone can do any maintenance on the walls.
