ProDave said "Did they also turn down the colour on all the internal photographs? Or is it really that devoid of any colour inside?"This current obsession with "grey everything" is crazy! When I was looking for a house last year, there were numerous houses where it looked like they'd put up back and white photos instead of colour ones. There was absolutely nothing that wasn't grey in many of the houses. Not even the occasional accent of colour.Mxx0

Please consider buying some pet food and giving it to your local food bank collection or animal charity. Animals aren't to blame for the cost of living crisis.0 -

what the hell is that?!
Why not just say it for what it is - a house that's been split by some greedy doorknob into two flats, when clearly it was buit as a house, meaning the poor person who has to live there as they can't afford anywhere else has an absolutely awful quality of life.1 -
