Haha! Looks like an oopsy. The map is pinpointed to a place called Ulverscroft (name of the apartment block this property is in), but should have pinpointed Oxton, on The Wirral.2 -

Not sure what is going on with the rugs and they clearly have no idea how to furnish a home, but underneath all that I could see myself living there. I quite like that if all the owners belongings were gone.Tiglet2 said:1 -
House looks like it has just received a high spec upgrade so the presence of a job lot of small, scatter rugs is really strange. I didn't count but it looked like half a dozen on the kitchen floor alone. Bizarre.RelievedSheff said:

Without the odd attempt to 'dress' it the house looks pretty good. The furniture is so wrong that you would think the EA would have advised to leave well alone.

It's truly vile. It's also, and I'd never thought I'd have to say this about a one and a quarter million pound house, quite cheap. Quite cheap for Orpington and Petts Wood or wherever it is, anyway. I'd worry about the quality of the McMansion conversion at that price. It's big, but it's probably made of cardboard or similar. The house proper, beneath all that stuff, is a sixties bungalow. The rest is all glorified extension. It's quite a popular thing to do round here: taking a post war property on a large plot, encasing the poor thing in a variety of wood and plasterboard sheds, and declaring it to be a stately home. A 'proper' house of anywhere near that size would cost a lot more.DairyQueen said:Oxon said:Not at all tacky!
Eew.
First time I have seen a property that features all of my pet hates in a single package. It looks like an airport terminal with an air sickness ante-room. I suspect that inside turf would hide vomit stains very effectively.3 -
Just shows how tastes varies - I think it is soulless and hideous, you couldn't pay me enough to live there. Though it could be so much better furnished!RelievedSheff said:

Seen quite a few of these (if there's a wall at all, though at least some examples have the bog tucked away out of view). I know some couples are comfortable going to the toilet in front of each other (and whoever else wanders into the bedroom...) but is it really a selling point not to be able to avoid having a grandstand view of it from the bed?Patr100 said:

There's a reason they keep the garden photos until last.3 -

Perhaps the owners regretted their decision not to install underfloor heating!2
