    It goes to show there are some properties considerably overprice on the market....

    It's not 'cheeky.' it's simply a low offer. They can accept or reject it, and you can increase your offer or withdraw. 
    You have nothing to lose by trying. 
    At some point between you, there is a sweet spot that is acceptable to both parties, and only the 2 of you can find where that is. No on else can tell you.
    Yes, too many people think they somehow have to "impress" the seller for some reason.,
