    Needs a bit of work, but at least you get a big garden.

    "The property is inhabitable"  Needs no work at all apparently :)

    I can't quite work out what style they are aiming for. It misses it by a country mile whatever it is!!

    There is far too much going on.

    If this wasn't for sale through modern auction we would be very tempted to make the finances work and put an offer in.

    Think it's a whole field!  Could be a great property with money chucked at it.

    I like that one. I saw a Grade II listed house advertised relatively locally,if it hadn't been SSTC we would have been tempted

    That's much nicer than the seven bedroom job!

    Who doesn't want a carpark in the middle of their estate? Only 8 years to go until the end of petrol car sales too, and all these spaces are going to need chargers...
    At least the parking spaces are quite generously sized, which will be good when electric points are installed, as from what I’ve seen electric chargers need a lot more space round the car
    That's true, at least people can use them unlike the typical new build garage.

    Would have been much cheaper to install chargers before the tarmac though. They need to be wired into each home's supply for billing.
    People often say that new build garages are small yet ours built in 2019 has room for a car, which you can open the door and get out of, a work bench and tool storage along the back wall and a large freezer. At the minute there are also load of crates of beer left over from Christmas. 

    I certainly wouldn't call it small and this was built by David Wilson Homes so is not a one off or expensive build. 
    Looking at the David Wilson website those houses are very expensive. If you pay that kind of money you would expect a decent garage.

    They may well sell expensive houses elsewhere in the country but I can assure you our house here in Nottinghamshire isn't one of them 🤣🤣🤣
