Pictures speak a thousand words. In this case, they emit a thousand smells as well - a kind of weird hippy mix of incense sticks, weed, damp, mould and sweat.

Looks like a Russian peasants hovel, where 17 generations of the same family have lived and left all their crap behind.

I bet the agent enjoyed measuring each and every shed with the vague hope of a fatter fee for a good sales price based on so many m2.
I dont think Ive ever seen such dedication. Must have been a quiet week.

Next door to a Petrol Station/ M&S, back garden backs on to a Motorhome sales yard. Opposite a very busy T-Junction, and adjacent to a cut through to an industrial estate. Streetview takes you to this road and the side of the house.

No interior pics, so likely an utter state, the layout looks a total mess though.

What's wrong with the layout? Looks fine to me.

I think I'd take that over having nobhead neighbours on my door step. Interesting!

Looks like an old mini hiding in the garden:

Is that an electricity substation behind?

Looks like a danger to life sign on it, so I'd guess so.

In response to others. The layout issues. A dark and gloomy hall and stair well, and room off a room off a room downstairs. RE no neighbours. I think I'd prefer that to lorries and pick ups rattling the windows one side, customers and staff at the campervan place seeing in to the garden (sure, easily remedied) and all the noise from a petrol station and shop next door.

And yeah, looks like a classic Mini out the back.

Oh, and I forgot, there a workshop behind the garage (where a lovely 172 Cup resides) so all the noise from that to boot.

I'm not sure how you know the hallway is dark and gloomy. There's a window next to the front door and a larger one on the half landing.

There's no 'room off a room off a room' unless you mean the utility is accessed through the kitchen, which is how it should be IMO.

The hallway comment, yes, maybe a fair point. The room off a room comment. You're in the living room when nature calls. You need to go through the hall, then the kitchen where you may well need to swerve people cooking a meal moving hot food about, then the utility and in to the bog. Does that not meet that description?

Just nip upstairs. First door on the left.

Exactly what ours is like except you have the choice of hallway or dining room to get to the kitchen. Never considered it an issue

Maybe I'm over thinking it then. Personally were it mine (it never would be) I'd brick up the utility from the kitchen, and have a door in to this room from the hall. Then make it in to a down stairs loo/wet room with shower. I'd also push the kitchen back to level with where the loo wall currently is, giving a bigger space and a useful back door off the kitchen. Retain the space between the enlarged kitchen and garage as a utility.

Yup. Just wee out of the window. It'll improve the garden.

It’s basically a building plot

You would have thought that for the sake of paying a few labourers and a couple of skips - say 2K that would be a reasonable buy

Exactly what I was about to post. For the sake of a day chucking all the crap in skips, and another day doing a basic clean/ grass mow they'd surely see more than their outlay back?

And yep, as it is, an utter horror.
