I'm surprised that a professional photographer didn't move the coat stand, bedroom bin, dressing gown etc. When we sold our last house the photographer was ruthless about moving towels, bins and other bits and pieces that were getting in the way of a clean shot.Abbafan1972 said:I think person paid extra for professional photos, rather than the agent doing them and wished they hadn’t.

It's only close to one primary school, and it's not outstanding, but 'Good'. And, I'm even closer to that primary school. So: I don't know. This is part of what I don't understand.Sarahspangles said:
Close to an ‘Outstanding’ primary school? It’s a significant factor for family houses where I live.RHemmings said:
Can anyone spot anything special about the following house. This is from an estate nearby to me, and in fact I lived in a rented house in this estate. The houses don't look very impressive for me, but they seem to sell for a lot of money. At least, asking prices are high.
I just can't see anything special about these houses, and think that the one I bought is better for a lot less money than this. And, even the bigger ones around my way are typically cheaper than this.
Is there anything special here? I feel a little bit like the boy who called out the Emperor's new clothes.
Note: For £300k around here I would expect something with a bit extra. Not a generic 3 bed semi.

The utility room is 2mx1.8m, so small in my book. Just wide enough for three appliances side by side. As it is also the main access for the rear door, there isn't much else you can put in the space. In all, a fairly typical new build from a major developer.Abbafan1972 said: The person who lives here has said that the garden is quite big for a new build. I think it’s L shaped. Also, regarding the utility room, I think it is bigger than suggested in the photo and person wasn’t happy with the angle of the photo as it made it look smaller.
Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

I just looked at the plan before I closed the tab and the kitchen diner looks wrong too - it's opposite hand and windows are in the wrong places. I make it that the kitchen diner is on the right if looking at the front of the house - by what you can see through windows etc. I thought the photos were flipped, but I don't think they are - I can read AEG on the cooker.1

Looks like a community centre or doctor surgery.

I am amazed to hear that. If I saw this online I would assume they bought it 5 minutes ago and, for some suspicious reason or other, quickly decided they did not like it, barely unpacked, didn't bother buying any new stuff to make it personally theirs and simply want to get straight out.Abbafan1972 said:The house is just over 3 years old.0
