The mind boggles

Minimal details available, which is Barker's Estate Agents' way of seducing you into viewing utter crap, and I have no intention of looking at this one.

But it has a sauna room! In flipping Leicester! Have I fallen through some kind of wormhole, or is this something that would actually sell a property? Is that why it's priced above the ceiling for the road?

whats wrong with having a sauna ? seems like a nice house to me ...

Had no idea it was so expensive up there, but looks okay to me too on the outside.

I also find the idea of a sauna room in a three bed semi a bit disturbing, but that's just me. Sure the local Scandinavian community will snap it up...:)

It is overpriced. Or so I thought. I don't know what sort of premium one would pay for a sauna.

I'd pay minus the cost of ripping it out and replacing it with something sensible

Sounds like the sauna is like some sort of wetroom as there is no bathroom mentioned in the details?

Hahaha, it's not a sauna in Leicester.

Work the rest out for yourselves.

Lay off the gin at lunch Pru, you're making no sense at all.

I was a kiddy fiddler in one post, now I'm gay? make your mind up about my orientation, I'm in bangkok and just about to go out.

Ahh but the sauna deservedly adds so much value.

Check out this little terrace around my way - with it's own little mini-gym. Again makes the difference I'd say and well worth the hundreds of thousands in premium for it - although they are all asking similar prices for terraces on that fancy main road to the village, when same types of property set off the main road are 60% cheaper.

And to think that they say that violence on TV doesn't encourage violence in the real World - those property programmes & get rich quick type guff have certainly influenced half of Britain into thinking they're some kind of international playboys (& girls).

How can people who have to work for a living seriously get to the point where they think its normal, or desirable even to have a sauna room in a house on a Leicestershire housing estate? What next, a helipad on the front lawn?

The World has gone mad, especially this part of the World, Nu Labours totally phoney 21st Century Britain, where even the poor think they're rich, & the shelf stackers at Tesco have £30 million "property porfolios."

In 15 years time people will look back & despise this period just as we despise the Yuppie & loadsamoney era now.

What a shock some people are going to have over the next 18 months when they have to queue at soup kitchens to get a meal instead of dining out 3 times a week & sticking it all on the credit cards.

Roll on the crash.

edit: It just occured to me that eating at soup kitchens would be classed as dining out - maybe NuLabour will be telling us were even better off then since we can dine out 7 days a week & it won't cost us a penny.

I quite like that house. Apart from the gym. And the weird layout. And the ludicrous price. And the fact I don't know where Hale is (near Hearty?).
