Interesting accessory in the dining room....

The perfect property for someone who has a fear of someone sneeking up behind them when they're sat on the loo.

Have I found Crashy's neck of the woods?

Given only one photo and interesting exterior, I wonder if it comes with an uncooperative extra?

My eyes. At least 3 patterns or colours per room. The orange in the bedroom is inexcusable.

Personally it was the purple wall with mottled red carpet combo that really stopped me in my tracks. But yes, clearly the demesne of a someone who believes that more is more.

How does that back garden actually work?

The grass in the middle of it looks differently mowed to the grass to the left and right of that strip of the garden.

Or is it a communal garden and it would be necessary to put up walls or something to left and right of the differently-mown strip and take down the middle section of what looks to be a communal clothesline set-up?

It's obviously wider than the property, but isn't communal

"There are private garden grounds to both front and rear. The rear garden also has a timber shed for additional storage."

Clearly, it has not been felt necessary to build garden walls, not that many people would on a cheap property. Some people like neighbours and only put up impenetrable high fences, hedges etc if and when their behaviour warrants it.

Could actually be a good sign. There's plenty of play space out front.

This is where my easy access to the Scottish Land Register helps...part of it is a communal drying green (the blue area), and then there's an exclusive area further down.

Though the Home Report suggests the seller isn't aware of there being a communal area, so presumably something else happens in practice.

Ah yes, the 'drying green' one of those unfathomable things from 'oop norf'.....well, north of Basingstoke anyway.

So my cynics hat on re the exact words chosen of "there are private garden grounds" was correct in thinking "Hmmm.....they seem to expect that house to share some back garden (but not all of it) with neighbours. BIG downside - next....".

Visions of dogs, noisy children and general NFH running around all over the place - without spotting or caring about "invisible fences".

Not just an Oop North thing though - as I've seen several Southern houses (though it is most uncommon there) where I've thought "Nice garden or courtyard garden - huh....why can I see one or more extra back doors leading into it? Passss....next please".

My cynics' take on that again was - at page 20 (presumably the bit referred to?) where I thought "Vendor is very well aware of the situation".

I read that as "boundaries are GENERALLY (trans...."I know they aren't all the way round") marked. ADJACENT ground.....("Yes I know that some land bang up against the bit that belongs to me doesn't have boundaries and isn't just mine").

**************

But then it's true I have recently insisted a misleading statement got removed from estate agent details on a house I'm involved in selling - as I thought things should be crystal clear and not subject to (wanted by other people involved!!!) misinterpretation. "Ready to move into" indeed on a probate house that hadn't even had probate applied for yet at that point and the house itself needs gutting LOL. So I'm not keen on inexact language capable of being interpreted in different ways...
