Now you would have thought putting some toys away and the washing up off the drainer might have been done prior to the estate agent coming to take the pictures!

I doubt that clutter would put anyone off the property and if it did, it doesn't say very much for their imagination!  Can't really see a problem to be honest.

I suppose the falsely cleared surfaces and banishment from sight of any children's toys is all part of the aspirational element in selling.

But then who actually aspires to own an ex-council house in Worksop? I'd guess it's something those who do it consider a step on a very down to earth road, like working for Tesco or kitting-out the kids in Primark. Hardly knicker twisting stuff!

It's like all the other bits and pieces that jump out as expressions of quirky. I don't dislike some of them and they show someone has cared enough and loved the house in their own way.

Yes, the majority would probably have to go, including the wavy thing, but I'd probably keep the front door and the centurion.

Landlord couldn’t afford to buy enough doors, or do up the property for that matter https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-to-rent/property-81616315.html

I've seen people here before complaining about bathrooms being directly off the kitchen, but is that a bathroom in the kitchen (albeit separated by a shower curtain)?

It does have a burglar alarm though.

And here's a kitchen in a bedroom.
Curtains make all the difference.

In the early 1970s I remember viewing a flat (for flat share) in Harley Street where the bath itself was in the kitchen.  Covered by a plank of wood to provide extra food preparation area.

Awaiting permissions to modernise apparently.  To be let unfurnished - but the shop underneath could help furnish it I guess (or is stocked with what was in the flat).

Exactly, the new tennants might get a discount on any goods whether they sell or buy.
