House is a mess but the real bonus is on Street View 

I have to ask, how is that even possible?  the "street view" image is centred in the middle of a lawn?

Street View includes user-submitted 360 degree pics (interiors of businesses, or just random scenery), careless estate agents will let it just pick the nearest image to the postcode without checking (hence a recent example here of the interior of an off-licence).

Made me smile. Still can't find the house on the right road though!

Re Streetview - I'm forever browsing google maps and trying to click to see a street and I end up in a shop looking at cans of 7-Up

Wow I really quite enjoy this one! So much to like...

Only 2 things put me off...
1. There seems to be 2 ‘Bedroom 1’s’ on the fooorplan haha
2. For 3 out of 4 Bedrooms you have to go across the living room to a shower room to be able to go to the toilet if Bedroom 4 is being used? The largest bathroom is an en-suite to Bedroom 4?!

Other than that it’s great! The garage is too unorganised for me to cope though in those photos 😂

The whole layout is so jumbled up!

• Shower room opens right onto the living room/kitchen
• A bedroom just off the living room, seems noisy and impractical for the occupant
• Another bedroom is off the dining room
• The major issue is that the biggest bathroom can only be reached via the main bedroom, which makes it an ensuite, but it's much larger than the other bathroom (which again, is just off the living room!

I think the photographer gave up on trying to show the living areas and just took loving photos of car parts/gym gear.

What also baffles me is that someone deliberately bricked up the front windows and converted the ground floor to be a garage, meaning that 40% of the floorspace is a car hole... I suppose someone really loves their hobbies, but the house would be so much better with a logical layout and less garage. The front also looks unsettling with the bricked up windows like it's abandoned or something.

Plus on streetview the left side of the house up near the chimney has some serious missing mortar.

The facade paint is questionable.
The wallpapers! Each one is ghastlier than the other.
And the carpet in the living room? 
The huge squirrel in the garden! (I took quite some time to arrive at the squirrel conclusion. This could be one of the inkblot tests)
I have questions.

It doesn't look like there is enough room to open the wardrobe doors!

Now that I like.

That would seriously suit us. Granted it requires a bit of a juggle around with the interior but what a pad it could make.

The garage in our hands would be a lot more organised than that and be housing a few nice classic cars.

Looks like it used to be a shop.
