Almost thought this house was ticking my boxes, separate toilet, except its upstairs and right next to the other toilet

There's also a conservatory with a lovely view of a brick wall. And in general the garden seems to be full of bits of stuff with no real open garden. I think that the house you linked to is the 'bottom' on in this picture.

The 80s called and wants all the borders back! And that bed!

I would go for that bed. I've got a bed I bought for £55 in about 2005, and it's lasted since then. But, it's very plain and I have seriously considered seeing if I can get a frame that attaches to it and turns it into a four poster bed with curtains like that. No joke.

OK, we've finished refurbishing this house. How did you do on the back garden? I thought you were doing the back garden. What? Not me. Hey, third person, did you do the back garden? I thought one of you two was doing the back garden.

Is that a monstrosity, an unsightly erection, or other?

Yes I did notice the brick wall, I had a ray of hope for a second

LOL! Perhaps all of the above.

I don't want to take a photo of it, but my neighbours have one of these outbuildings at the end of their property, and it has decking in front. But, I feel my neighbour's building looks nice. Natural, quality, looking wood and double glazing. But, the gardens here are long enough so that there's a good amount of garden left. And, their garden looks really nice. One of these neighbours is a retired landscape gardener, and there's just enough restraint, but everything looks perfect. 

One of my neighbours the other way has a three car garage in their garden. it's utterly huge, and looks really ugly. And, it's so big (probably about the floorspace of a good sized house) that the previously good sized garden is now a postage stamp. In theory that house (which sold recently) was probably better monetary value than mine for its higher price. Because of the garage which some people would value. But, if I had bought it I would have to cost in getting rid of that monstrosity and unsightly erection.

I dread to think what our previous surveyor would have called it!

The building in the garden is completely inoffensive, compared with the unmade beds and stained bedding!   I'm not even sure if one of the beds is actually occupied.

Picture 3 looks more like a waiting room than a living room.
