    Those carpets... yikes

    Now that is a nice house.  The décor is rather peculiar: it looks like the different rooms have been decorated by different people, all with completely different ideas and tastes.  Perhaps they have, but it's rare to see such variance of styles within the same dwelling.  I thought it was a former HMO at first glance.

    All it needs is a few dozen litres of Railings/Downpipe/Skimming Stone/Dimpse (or any of the other 50+ shades)😉

    I absolutely love everything about this place (carpet aside).
    There are some really average 2 bedroom flats in London that cost the same as this place.

    I get that some people absolutely love living in Town. It's not for me. This place would be.

    Lord no, it needs the modern rubbish taking down and binning; the 'old fashioned' rooms are the best of it.

    OK, I know I won't start a trend by saying this but I actually like that patterned carpet in that position in that house. Very practical and cheerful! 
    Love living in a village in the country side

    The bedroom wall here gives me shivers. How a big a job would that be? I'd steer clear

    Eh? Other than its small size , can't see what's bugging you?
    A  bit of damp?

    Oh really? I thought that was quite a lot of damp given it's inside and outside the wall.

    Path is high and looks like it gets no sun, but lowering it would be a waste of time if the water from the bay above is tipping down there. £250k for a hole in the ground, but that's Bristol nowadays!
