I posted this in the pawn thread a year ago. Surprisingly, it is still for sale.

Lap dancing does pay well!

How do people with such piss poor taste manage to accumulate this kind of money?

Went past this the other day. Man, is it ugly. I can't work out whether it's been added to or built like that, but result is a dog's dinner.
I can't get over that horrendous strip of a window, right in the middle of the house! But worse is the position of the garage, unless I'm missing something obvious, why on earth did they position the door that way round? Not only awkward to get to but leaves a blank wall facing the driveway.

http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/prope... It's an £800k house as well (or so they hope - probably about right for the area IF it wasn't such a horror)

They've clearly spent a lot of money on the kitchen , but left a pair of 6ft strip lights!?

[FourWheelDrift]

Bedroom 6, 7'1 x 6'10 that's smaller than the bathroom.

According to the description "The property has been sympathetically extended over the years..."
SYMPATHETICALLY EXTENDED!
I'm lost for words.

I didn't see that, I gave up when the living room (possibly) started to look like a bad Magic Eye 3D picture

quick peek shows the roof terrace is okay - just need a blindfold for the rest of the house

I like the way they have to hang their washing out on the front wall...presumably as there is no back garden.

Missed that! The sympathy I'm feeling is for the neighbours who have to look at it. And haha! at the strip lights in the kitchen

There's one of these weirdly plonked in houses near me;

Looks normal from the front, but the aerial view reveals the full horror. Here it is from the back

1 bed, £600k! Needless to say no cats allowed. You can't swing 'em.

£600k and they can't even be bothered to paint it

And only 290 sqft too! That's less than my planned garage

The advert says first time on the market for 50 years - owner occupier, or long term rental? I'm slightly intrigued now to learn more on the history of the place.
