It's the Kidcraft Uptown Espresso play kitchen: https://www.amazon.co.uk/KidKraft-53260-Espresso-Pretend-Kitchen/dp/B00592BOAO

And we all seem to have too much time on our hands. This is the perfect opportunity to learn new skills, but nobody does.

I commend the bathroom in this one!!!

It went up online yesterday, and this morning, shortly after the sign went up, I spotted a young couple with a child loitering outside. Needs a lot doing, think they're a tad optimistic on the asking price. Even with the great back garden and good local primary school about 2 minutes walk away. Shame the back extension has a flat roof - our flat roof didn't bother us as we had the extension demolished to make kitchen bigger (the extension was for a morning rooom, I guess you'd call it). Plus we got rid of the garage to make a utility room, with a front to back bedroom on top of it all. The house above really has potential, but it does need a lot doing to it. At least it has a new roof! (about 3 or 4 years ago I think)

I would definitely keep that bathroom suite and try to do something with that room with it in.

Not much to keep in the rest of the house. It needs gutting back to the bare bones and starting again!

I was genuinely shocked by the unexpected colour scheme.

It does have an element of jollity to it, doesn't it? Back looks out roughly SE, so it'd brighten it up in evening and night time. I don't think the Floor plan is correct, as it shows upstairs being same size as downstairs. But if you look at the photos you can clearly see there's been a flat roofed extension out the back. Can't tell how you'd get that caravan out though - the back garage doors don't look wide enough for it to go through!

That caravan is not going anywhere in a hurry. It looks like it was put there before the garage was built and now it's stuck.

Over £200? That's more than I spent on my own kitchen....!

I don't think they hold their value either... ..The inlaws have a kitchen with identical units for their grand children to play with except no ice maker on the fridge and a brighter colour scheme. Cost about £20 on a local 2nd hand sight, but it is popular with toddlers!

If it were in my garden it would leave sharpish. In pieces admittedly. Even if it wasn't blocked in I doubt it would tow, best case would be dragging it onto a trailer. The bathroom suite is fantastic (or should that be tantastic? - I'll get my coat...) but I suspect keeping it might be more hassle than its worth
