3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale in Balmoral Drive, Leigh, Greater Manchester, WN7
If Liberace had lived in Leigh! Visions of grandeur till you check out Street view
So many places we could begin-
How does anyone come in through the front door?
Why did they not sack the tiler after the first room?
Spot the tiger?
Who moved the heart from the bedroom to bedroom for the photos?
How do they ever get into bed at night?
Who decided to have matching kitchen and bathroom curtains?
Is it the new thing to sit and have cocktails in your hallway?
Is this overkill?

Perhaps, having run out of space, they want to start again somewhere else!GDB2222 said:

To get it sold I would think they would need to move out and strip out all their personal furnishings and effects.
The sensory overload is staggering, and would prevent a normal person being able to envisage themselves in the space.2 -

I’m all for people doing their homes to their own taste, rather than “fashion”; however, when wanting to sell, you may need to tone it down a bit!swingaloo said:3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale in Balmoral Drive, Leigh, Greater Manchester, WN7
