If it doesn't get sold with these current viewings, I  think spending £2k-£3k (guess, maybe its more?) on painting the house and walls would be money really well spent.

I really like the general look of it but all i can  think of on any exterior shot is "that pebbledash looks grim and tired". Hopefully you can find someone who is happy to look beyond that and really its not a difficult job, I am sure getting it painted would have returned much more money in value to the house than the change of lounge door to window or whatever it is you are doing.

That pebbledash is pretty normal for the area.

People expect that look.

The garden walls could be softened through planting or maybe painting.



It would be like telling people in Aberdeen granite looks dark brighten it up.

For me its not that its dark its that theres stains (algae? dirt ? )

If I had an aberdeen granite place with soot stains id have it pressure washed but obvs you cant do that with pebbledash.

However I take the point about repeated painting, OTOH that means you live with stained and dirty looking walls. Neither is a great solution. Can you bleach wash pebbledash?

Any updates on the viewings, OP?

Beat me to it, and was going to quickly update.

We've quite literally just accepted an offer very close to our asking price, and are chuffed to bits.

Obviously lots can go wrong in the next few months, but our purchasers are chain free so fingers crossed.

Can get some serious viewings done now, really looking forward to it.

Thanks everyone for the comments, I just hope I'm not on here in 3 weeks time, moaning about being at square one again ha ha.

Great for you well done fingers crossed.
