    Hadnt realised that - as any time I've spotted that comment the house itself has always been a "demolish completely" standard one - so assumed that was what it meant.

    RightMove isnt the world's best website I do know. I'm sure I recall one used to be able to put in, for instance, a specification on it for detached houses only and now it doesnt seem to be possible. I've found the only way to "cut out the rest" and just bring up detached houses for an area is to just put into Google "detached rightmove area name" and that works (though there's still mobile homes sneaked in on that at the bottom end of the price scale and the odd non-detached house and "coach house" gets sneaked in throughout the price scale). At least it reduces the ones to look through somewhat.

    There is a drop down on 'property type' where you can specify detached properties. That's on the desktop webpage version - not sure on mobile versions, but I expect they have similar.

    Just saying....:cool:

    Ha! We're proceedable now and viewed that one a couple of weeks back :D

    DH needs a workshop and liked the idea of the bunker. The land is fab, but the house is too small for [STRIKE]our ridiculous quantities of stuff[/STRIKE] us and we really don't want to go through building another extension.

    Also, the Mansell Davies hub nearby was a deal-breaker for us :o

    Apparently no-one famous lived there, btw.....

    The option is also there on the mobile version but it's less flexible in that you can only select one criteria at a time, eg on the mobile site you can search for detached only but on the desktop site you can search for detached and semi simultaneously.

    Maybe it's like when Blackadder tried to sell his house?

    There are two toilets on the plan, but that's less than the number of bidets.

    So, more questions than answers.

    Bit close to the student halls anyway!

    This property is being marketed to over 60's only - the price given is for a 69-year old male. So the decor is a bit off:
