Been for sale for a while, apologies if it's already made an appearance in this thread.

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

And another 2K for industrial strength PPE.

Failed Dyson repair business? Seem to be a dozen in the back of "Photo 7", which is 8 of 9 (?).

I wonder if that explains the mess?

"I couldn't find one that worked, it just spiralled from there."

My friend went to look at this one.

Bathroom downstairs, will be a pain to remodel, backs onto a railway line, asbestos, cracks in walls, damp and so on.

Once you get rid of the add ons at the rear the house is actually very small and the rooms feel it.

Apropos nothing, the Grand Design's just up the road by the railway bridge

It’s a long narrow plot and not a great location so I can’t see someone making their money back if they redevelop.

Looks like someone is giving it a bash - Showing as under offer.

Handy for the shops though.

They are very easy to get for free if you ask around, I imagine they used to repair and sell them on, but had a breakdown and kept collecting but never selling, or tidying anything.

Maybe a brain on here will know but were these bathrooms/toilers a 'thing' once upon a time? I vaguely remember my Great Grandfathers house having a very similar thing - stairs down into the bathroom, with the door into the 'room' on a landing 4-5 steps above.

[Lagom]

Been on the market since 2020 at various prices between £499-599k, Originally purchased as a £300k red brick 3-bed bungalow that they'd hoped to flip by giving it all mod-cons and the ever-popular grey and white treatment, doesn't make it a nightmare per se.

The agent has even splashed out on the marketing:

So why hasn't it sold? This might be a reason ...

[Bonefish Blues]

...and I can't see an easy way on to either of those convenient transport links (as I assume the spiel says)

The nightmare to me here is the price. Oof. And what the hell is going on in picture 12?

Bit of background, the house is in the terrace in which I grew up, so I have some experience of living there. It's right under the Heathrow flight path 85% of the time, the planes can get incredibly low and are coming every minute every day. You can't hear yourself think outside. And there's an underground stream which floods the houses occasionally and has caused some bad subsidence in the terrace. So much money for such a small house and so many drawbacks. Ye Gods.

I bet the house's current neighbours are glad they're selling up, though. Check out the HiFi equipment in the lounge. I can't imagine they're shy about rattling the window panes with that lot. I remember hearing the neighbours talking through the walls in our house (when the planes weren't drowning everything else out), these folks must be unbearable.

I literally have no idea why anyone would pay so much to live in such a place.

Price would probably be the same here too, but that's Windsor. Pic 12, home stock trading?
