How can the photo quality be so poor? Even the cheapest smartphone takes better photos than that.

Diner / pole dancing room is a nice touch.

Nine bedrooms and a pole dancing bar/room? Brothel?

Great find! You have to laugh at 'Dormitory House'. Also wtf is an "aesthetics practitioner"?

I've never heard the phrase "chap on door" before!

£150k for a terminally damp, unmortgageable shed with a leaking roof and, from which, someone's halfway through nicking the stove.

Oh, and it's on a peninsula, one spring tide or winter storm away from disaster.

Yup.

[DanL]

Presumably unmortgageable buildong with no interior photos.

It’s on a river though.

[Sporky]

Handy for the sewage farm too.

Big "floating house on Grand Designs" vibe. It will be bulldozed before you can say 'riparian views'.

It's possibly the rotten old river house next to the garage and backing onto the sewage farm. If it is then it's the tiniest plot there and with the most dilapidated section of water front. I dread to think what the spend would be to put a new house on there and sort out the water front and I'm not sure you'll end up with something of value to match?

[Sporky]

Also, given that that's the Thames, the sewage plant is probably "run" by Thames Water, so you'll get to watch poops floating past.

"She's on the lookout for a solicitor".

I hope a solicitor reads this and acts for free for me.

[FourWheelDrift]

Just noticed it's from 2022, so I guess she lost and is selling. But the rightmove advert has gone now too.

It's an interesting situation.

The original planning permission for the two new dwellings was granted in 2012, and they're not where the photos suggest they have been built:
https://planning.fife.gov.uk/online/files/75AD96B4..._BLOCK_PLANS__PROPOSED_FLOOR_PLANS_ELEVATIONS-915818.pdf

That permission was renewed in 2016, without any new drawings.

Then the land on the other side of building was auctioned off in three lots in 2017:
http://www.mccraemccrae.co.uk/documents/27.05.16Do...

And the renewed planning (which is for the other side of the house) renewed for a second time in 2018, again with no further drawings.

So perhaps the root of the problem is the buildings not being built where shown, and the owner feeling somewhat isolated as the land around her gets sold off.

But the house itself is sometimes described as having as few as seven bedrooms or as many as 11, depending on where it's listed.

All quite tumultuous.

Agree on both points. It’s rather… busy.
