Perhaps it's short for "clusterf**k"????!South_coast said:Ohhhh, I think this is my new favourite 😅! I saw an advert for a "cluster house" and it piqued my curiosity about what on earth it could be, so I have been nosing at cluster houses all round the country. This one is in Yorkshire.
So the windows have been boarded up - and the broken panes of glass have just been left on the floor like some kind of art installation 🤣
That's it for me now, I don't think I can ever better that!4 -
This was one of the photos for a bungalow we were considering looking at. I mean, it's a lovely shelf but is it a deal breaker?! Do you get what's on the shelf as well as the shelf in the purchase of the property?!

There’s a cookbook in the middle of the gardening books, and either the photo or shelf isn’t straight… but sadly, most people are buying the lifestyle and forget that the contents of the house (and the life!) belong to the vendor. I have dressed both my last house sales to appeal to a particular demographic (I borrowed baby stuff from my SIL once to add to the cot and high chairs etc I had for when my niece and nephew came to stay so it was clear that that there was room for a nursery, family meals, kids playing in the garden etc) and it seems to work.8

That would put me off, I can't stand indoor plants. The way the books are messily displayed also grates.Jessy103 said:This was one of the photos for a bungalow we were considering looking at.

It has both electric and gas - I simply must live here 🩷!!!
No mention of water though - which makes me suspicious, given how specific they have been about the other utilities 🤔🤣

Looks like the gas meter is overdue for replacement. Round here there are lots of places without mains water - but they generally don't have mains gas!
