Loads of potential if it wasn't at the edge of the universe.
Chance to live out your own Fraggle Rock dreams (yes I know it’s at the opposite end of the UK to the actual Fraggle Rock).

What is pure 1970s about that, I just see bland magnolia painted walls.

It's outside the environment.
All there is is sea, birds, fish....... and the part of the ship that the front fell off

Amazing! That's the dream, watching the stars from the top with a nice whiskey of an evening

"Exceptionally unique". One for the "Things that annoy you beyond reason" thread. Something can't be exceptionally unique, it is either unique or it isn't.

Not my cup of tea but why would it be considered a nightmare?

It's a bit office block, and the plot is weird.

Not sure it's a nightmare, but it's a bit rubbish.

Not really. Looks like they bought the field next to the plot. Looks like they are yet to put horses on it.




The end of the plot is very far from the house. I wonder if planning permission for a house with an entrance near the park homes would be easy to obtain.

It is what it is as somewhere to stay for the odd night, and as that it's perfect for its purpose.

The heading even has the nerve to call it a One bedroom terraced house! 'Compact and bijou' was never more appropriate.

Hardly a nightmare, but the listed status, asbestos and cost of bringing it up to a nice standard would be challenging.
Probably best as some sort of hostel/AirBnB for twitchers.
The idea of it is lovely, but looking at its Wikipedia page the most challenging aspect would be having one of the world's brightest lights flashing in your face every 20 seconds.

At least the foghorn is no longer active.

Maybe your supposed to go to the toilet in the shower and wash it down?

Not defending it, it’s awful. But there is a toilet - you can see the flush for it next to the shower in one of the photos.
