    Street view shows it being re-thatched and also shows a major problem with the area. It can get a bit wet.

    And the clouds look as if they might have been photoshopped in..

    I don't think so.  North Essex is my neck of the woods and we do tend to get very blue skies full of puffy, cumulus clouds - possibly as a result of the unusually low rainfall in the area.  We haven't got much, topographically speaking, but we do have lovely clouds!

    Definitely photoshopped. 1 is identical to 4 and 18 but the even clearer giveaway is that the last one, 19  is a reversal of part of the previous ones.

    Little disconcerting when one sees "No access, Floor unsafe" on the floor plan :o

    Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

    This one should help with any grey overload. Can’t find pictures of it before. https://ryderdutton.co.uk/property-for-sale/gledholt/dingle-road/ROC250162
    That is a beautiful house but ruined by someone who thinks they have style. Stripped back and rid of all that monstrous decor and decluttered and it could be lovely. I would jump at the house but the thought of getting rid of all that dark paint and paper!

    Yes, the eclectic collection of furniture & ornaments would have to go, as would the paneling around the fireplace. But I'm quite taken with some of the wallpaper.
