    According to the floor plan, the bathroom is a toilet and shower with the wash hand basin outside the bathroom on the first floor landing. For 700 grand?

    Looks fairly normal from the front, but is a fine example of a 1930's semi with all the soul and character stripped out of it.  Especially when you look at the photos of the inside and the rear view.

    Sutton Coldfield is a nice area (I don't live far from this house) and there is a large Tesco and Aldi just a stones throw away and is close to a few other shops plus public transport. But it borders with Kingstanding which is quite rough. So I personally wouldn't choose to live here. 

    I did look at the image on Street view and the picture is 3 years old, so how it looks now is definitely an improvement.

    Was looking at this one earlier.....

    https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/160982417#/?channel=RES_BUY

    Looking at the floorplan, it has the weirdest layout.  When you walk through the front door, you have to walk through the kitchen and lounge diner to get to the stairs. Also the en-suite doesn't look it has a toilet but has a massive waste of space jacuzzi bath. They have extended it to the side, so the side entry has been lost (a bug bear of mine and wouldn't like to have to traipse through the house when doing the garden).  Artificial grass in the garden as well.

    Kerb appeal is a little better than it was back in 2022 (latest streetview). If someone were to be a little exuberant with speed when parking up next door, I can see a vehicle jumping over the wall. Or just a stumble, and you'd have a nasty fall....

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

    Huh??? Presumably it's some sort of EA mistake. How utterly bizarre!
