    Roll up! Roll up! Are you looking for a house where EVERY radiator is in the wrong place? Yes not just one but all of them!

    Come view the house where someone said "ah !!!!!! it" in the middle of renovation!

    Just noticed the rather marvellous job of building the kitchen across the back door…. Without removing the door!!!!! It makes you wonder what goes through peoples heads, they've quite clearly spent money on the place (that cabin cant have been cheap).

    I'd probably rather live in the cabin than the house, in fairness - that bathroom in the main property is making me itch! :lol:

    I hadn't noticed the door!  Overall impression is 'how about taking value away rather than adding it?'

    Makes me sick that people want 325k for a wreck like that.

    Given that to a repossession, clearly the money spent wasn’t being repaid.

    Incredible. Almost like a photoshopped spoof.

    And I think it a marvellous idea to build the kitchen across the back door, great use of redundant space.  After all, you can access the garden through the French doors.  Think of the security risk you have eliminated!  I love innovative ideas like this.  I am certain that others will emulate these designs into their own homes in the future!

    Might have to do something about that front lawn area.  Perhaps more false grass like the back garden?  Or maybe support the environment by block paving the whole area.  Who needs to be that close to nature or to think about wildlife?
    What I do not give, you must never take by force.
