This is a weird property. It has been built in the car park of a row of shops. Estate agents photos carefully taken to not show where exactly it is located. Apparently it is "ideally situated".

It says 3 bedrooms but that would mean no living room.

Looks like there are 3 bedrooms and a living room on the floor plan.  But I have seen some deceptive adverts where they do double count rooms 4 bedrooms 2 reception rooms = 3 bedrooms and a dining room come bedroom

Yep, that's standard for new builds. The garage is basically useless because a car won't fit in it. 

I don't think it's "useless" it's just not what people use garages for anymore. Garage for me is storage for stuff like camping equipment and paint. Not a car. 

My grandparents used to park their car in their garage and it was such a faff all the time having to open the door and whatnot. I definitely don't want to park a car in a garage. 

That's why parking is such a nightmare. Local authorities are demanding driveways so people have offroad parking now, since they don't use their garages.

If they fitted a remote control door people would use their garages more. It just opens when you get home automatically, no faffing about and you can then get out of the car while sheltered from the rain.

Most places I've seen with terrible parking issues don't have garages at all. I'd say 90% of town-centre houses have no garages or driveways where I'm from.

Smart councils have been requiring parking for a while now. Around here all the new builds have had parking for a long time.

As I say, it's only recently that they started demanding driveways. I'm sure the sneaky developers will figure out a way to make them unusable too.

Round here (an outer London borough - farmland at the end of my garden) the LA has been seeking to reduce the availability of parking spaces in central areas except for disabled spaces. 

This is no doubt part of the green credentials and that public transport is/was good.  It makes sense for fairly central areas like Islington but not when the open countryside is no more than 5 minutes drive away.

Great house for the price. 

Advertising your own property? :w:wink:

A friend has just purchased in Scartho for under that price (3 bedroom, driveway, garage) for £155k.

I'd put that property no more than £110k in that area. That road/area is awful (on Street Parking, HMO's galore).

Not mine but the sellers will probably get their price. Prices in Grimsby are rising at the moment and houses are selling quickly.

I don't think a single carpet fits the room as every rooms seems to have a gap all around the room.

Close proximity to a massage parlour as highlighted in maps. Given the reputation of Bristol "massage parlours" it would put me off viewing

Does anyone know what that thing next to the toilet is in picture 11?

Looks like a back-to-front bidet that shrunk.
