that would be a nice place. But this leads me to a serious gripe on almost all listings for all houses, but especially on ones like this. Very little info or pictures of the garage / workshops. When we were last looking the number of places that just said "double garage" grrr but how big is that? 5x5m 7x7m? how high inside? any beams preventing you jacking up a van? what is the floor like? all key points I would say.

Edited to add:- The video remedies some of it.

Forget the fact that it's in Swindon. On a main road, it is quite lovely. Georgian/Victorian with an annexe.

I don't know Swindon, so I'm not going to comment on that element, but that is a good example of what I regard as pawn - cracking house, within decent sized grounds (0.5-1 acre is perfect for me) and yet, you're also within easy walking distance to stuff.https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/147328685#/...
Big old Welsh pile for the price of an offer. I like a verandah, and who doesn't want a clock tower? POW camp in WW2, interestingly.

They've done a number on the character of the place but shouldn't too hard to restore back. Nice pad https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/131201267#/...

But yes, nice place and they haven't obliterated the character, just buried it under tat.

While we're on EA listing gripes, it annoys me when there's a property with some acreage beyond a normal garden and they don't show you a land plan, so you have to go on the satellite view to try to work out what's included.
Strong agree. Another pet peeve is if the agent doesn’t include a North Indicator on the floor plans.dobly said:

ETA: probably not expensive enough to be considered 'pawn'.
I think the cheapest we've had on here is, roughly, £250k(ish) - price doesn't necessarily denote pawnhttps://patrice-besse.co.uk/property-for-sale-fran...
