Good old estate agents calling it Southend when it's Shoebury. Yes, Shoebury is part of Southend but absolutely no-one calls it Southend! (yes, I lived there and no, didn't have a weed farm).

Neither but I'm struggling to work out how it would be a choice biggrin

First one has been on the market before

Saddest thing about that first one is that judging by the garden photo they've had kids living in that filth - I can only hope that the fact the house is on the market means they're now somewhere being taken care of properly.

More likely to be Grandad's house I would think (hand rail in bath probably shows it's an old bloke's house), and he's now brown bread. Not many Grandads with a thing for Kate Bush, mind you.

The toiletries in the bathroom would suggest it's not an old bloke's house. What it is is f

king depressing.

Fair point. What I really like is that they've installed a new gas boiler in one of the bedrooms without removing the old one from the kitchen.

Ok.. the house isn't bad at all BUT have a brief watch of their recently uploaded 'video walkthrough'.
I have absolutely no idea why they would think that would help sell it.
