Two halves of the same semi, poles apart!https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/131339594#/?channel=RES_BUY8

I looked at the right hand one first and was expecting to the left one to have been stripped of all the cosyness and turned into a desert of grey so was very pleasantly surprised to see I was wrong. Those poles are perhaps really not that far apart.flipper_72 said:Two halves of the same semi, poles apart!https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/131339594#/?channel=RES_BUY4 -

In true sitcom style, I expect it's because they both hate the neighbours.Skiddaw1 said:

This one also has the new ‘Spot the…’ challenge. After dogs, cats and estate agents, it’s American style fridge freezers in unexpected places. I have a theory that people buy the fridge, realise it won’t go where the old one did, and have to move.Maka344 said:Bargain, especially if the jacuzzi is included… state of the art window vent too.Fashion on the Ration

A couple of things: what is going on with the armchairs in the front room? Either the house was occupied by three people who didn't like each other very much or, also possible, the family managed to get hold of a job lot of coin operated massage chairs from a motorway services. If the latter, one runs the risk of coming down one morning to find three lorry drivers in residence in the sitting room whilst the chairs buzz away beneath their bottoms.Maka344 said:Bargain, especially if the jacuzzi is included… state of the art window vent too.
Secondly, photograph 9: why have they got half a Learjet in the bedroom?4 -
The ad does mention the house is near the Amazon warehouse, I guess a customer got half a cheaper plane in their deliveryDitzy_Mitzy said:

I have still not worked out which is the front and which is the back? and which of the rooms on the floorplan has the hot tub.Ditzy_Mitzy said:

The view in the first photo, of the gravelled area and black-faced linking piece with a pedestrian door, is the back of the house. It is confused, slightly, by there being a missing fence panel and, just beyond shot, a dropped kerb. I suspect that was to provide vehicular access to, and additional parking in, the rear garden. There is a service road just beyond the back garden and, on the opposite side of the plot, is a proper road that runs parallel. The house fronts onto the proper road, which is the face on which the front and vehicular garage doors are located. Both faces look by and large identical, meaning that it is hard to divine which is front and back.ProDave said:

The jacuzzi is on the ground floor in a room immediately behind the garage, so is effectively in a different building from the house proper. The pedestrian door in the rear photo would seem to lead to the jacuzzi room, and there is internal access via the linking door with the garage, which is itself accessible via the portal that looks like the back door in the kitchen.
Got that? I haven't! It would be like living in the set of Nik Kershaw's 'The Riddle' video...2 -
Further confused by the grass area that we now think is the back garden and appears to get the sun from the photos is largely ignored as a garden, and they have chosen to enclose the front, smaller area that we believe to be the front, with tall fencing (possibly breaching planning permission) to use as a small enclosed dark garden area.Ditzy_Mitzy said:
