Unnecessary arty close ups and what appears to be an open plan bathroom?
(no  floor plan to check)

Never seen that sort of bedroom/bathroom set up before then two come along at once https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/131797394
Although it's not quite as bad as the pictures suggest with another access.

Pictures 8&9 show an under stairs WC opening to the loving room.

Picture 17 shows a presumably upstairs bathroom viewed through it's open door, so not open plan.

Picture 23 is the dodgy one.  I am reading that as an open plan bathroom on a landing.  I think you enter the door into the bathroom and another set of stairs take you up to the loft bedroom so this open plan bathroom is the upper bedroom's en-suite?  At least there is a little bit or return wall alongside the WC so someone entering the room does not get a "surprise"

£900k and they put the cheapest looking fittings and flooring in.

The insulation seems to be pressed tight with no air gap, how long until it all rots?

This isn't the worst house I've seen on here (although it's not great, and for some reason has a kitchen sink in the little bedroom) but the price is... ambitious shall we say! York is not the cheapest place to live but if you want a 3 bed semi and can afford £300-350k there's plenty of nice ones in that range, you don't have to buy this dump doer-upper! Just a couple of doors down on the same street for just £15k more you can have this nice one - I'm sure you'd spend more than £15k getting the first one up to the same standard. And actually the second one has been up for sale since Oct so you might even be able to get it for a lower offer. I totally understand the appeal of a doer-upper but surely part of it is that you get it at a lower price to take into account the work needed??

The first one coincidentally has a separate WC and bathroom as well - which is both topical, and must surely mean that the bathroom is super-hygienic?, 😆 I’m with Bagpuss though - that hallway is lovely! 

Stop this please. We can have different opinions without being nasty.

And this one is bizarre - it seems to have absolutely no character at all...I'm not really surprised it's not sold in nearly a year!

The outside of that is odd, suggesting there has been a problem that is hidden. Seems painted render on the LHS and painted brick on the RHS.

Yes - strange isn't it - you definitely find yourself wondering why the bit that has been rendered, has been! The other thing carefully concealed by "no floorplan" (although it is mentioned in the blurb, in fairness) is that it is standard for the area with having a downstairs bathroom - you just get a glimpse of it in one of the downstairs photos.

The painted brick is the original RHS  look shared with neighbour - you can see in streetview history that next door has since been fully rendered to match all the other houses -unless they are all hiding something behind the render!.

Ahh yes - that makes sense then! Good detective work!
