I thought I knew where to begin with the kitchen spray job but then it escalated

That 'spray job' looks more like smoke damage!

You know I debated that but couldn't see it elsewhere. Plus the ceiling is clean and inside the cupboard that's left open for goodness knows what.

Might be some kind of sprayed primer for further coats, but there also look like new cabinets delivered in the other room?

Spot the dog thinking why have we stuck a electric fire on the wall without bothering to trunk the wiring on a £850K house.  In fact why have we gone to market in this state?

That shower room!! Hideous.

Looks like a 1970s "dirty protest".

I don't know.  Perhaps more spilt ink than IRA stink?

A distinct lack of "kerb appeal", a narrow kitchen and one of Magritte's creepiest paintings on the wall....

Why to British people seem to like combined showers and baths like that? They are useless, the shower curtain does little to stop water escaping. Don't really want a bath with you head right next to the crapper either.

Not a case of "liking". Aside from the cost, it's simply that there isn't room often for  a separate shower in an existing bathroom.
I would have though that was obvious, at least to most British people.
and if you hang the shower curtain inside the bath rather that outside it usually works fine to keep water escaping.

I quite like it, (the outside, I mean), but it would be considerably improved if someone removed the weeds.  (street view)

Polystyrene deathtrap ceilings are more concerning.

 I've found a bit of ambitious street naming. I think the nearest they've actually come to here is Cardiff, but as my daughter used to say when aged 3 and feeling disappointed, "But you never know!"

Any streets or civic buildings named after any socialist, cooperativist, communist etc means you don't want to live there. 

Exhibit one: Skelmersdale swimming pool is named for Nye Bevan.

British micro houses for you I guess. I'd rather just have a shower and no bath, than a rubbish combined one.

Oh dear, pity all those sad British people who can only afford micro houses...
