    There are some things money can't buy, including a sensible layout.  Used to be a modest bungalow prior to redevelopment, with vehicular access to the rear of the plot.  The jutting wing thing presently blocks that, and any chance of reaching the garage.  


    Enough money could sort out that layout. But it’ll never buy taste. 

    Absolutely! If 'Abigail's Party' was remade it's the house where Beverley would live...

    Oh, and can anyone shed any light regarding the thing in the corner in photo 20?  It looks like an electronic terminal of the sort a contestant would stand behind on a TV gameshow, but I can't fathom why someone would want such a thing in a house!

    It seems to have a few speakers - maybe some type of karaoke machine or mini mixing deck?

    I can't decide how I feel about this place. It's quite OTT. I don't like the rear garden much. That woodburner in the conservatory must be a literal waste of energy?

    It's a karaoke machine. You can just make out the microphone on the left hand side.

    Is that a statue in photo 8? Or a real lamb? Sorry I can’t tell ‘8’s from ‘B’s these days

    It's a statue as :

    a) There is no change in posture at all between pictures 8 and 9 and
    b) If it was real, the grass would not be that nice...

    Interesting how the cables that are quite prominent on GSV are just levitating in the top left corner of image 1.
