Who needs this many sofas??
Also I've always regarded lounge and sitting room as two different terms for the same thing. Saying the house has both is a bit like saying it has 1 toilet and 1 loo.
Homes have sitting rooms: hotels have lounges.0 -

Off topic but it's a reference to an old book by Nancy Mitford about how the language you use denotes your social class. John Betjeman wrote a very non-U poem in response:NaughtiusMaximus said:

Can they?It certainly must rank high on the stink 0 meter scale, I can imagine the smell from here.I would want the contract to be written to define "vacant possession" as "empty" with a penalty clause to cover the cost of removing and disposing anything left behind.1

It's being auctioned, the contract won't be up for negotiation. Quite likely you'd be buying it as seen.ProDave said:Lorann_86 said:I would want the contract to be written to define "vacant possession" as "empty" with a penalty clause to cover the cost of removing and disposing anything left behind.1 -

That is quite a sought after road. The plot with the current house could be £20m. Another £5-10m to build a new house.Poster_586329 said:Anyone fancy a project?

The last photo, of the guard post and barrier, rather brings to mind the entrance to a prison. It doesn't matter who put the barrier there, its very existence institutionalises those living behind it; creating the notion that the world and society beyond is nefarious and potentially hostile. I'd hate to live in a prison of the mind, like that.Poster_586329 said:Anyone fancy a project?
