Crazy price for what doesn't appear to be that much house but I guess it is London. Looks pretty nice though, what's your thoughts on the nightmare aspect?

Image 15 (ring light with a phone mounted in the middle) makes me think aspirational vlogger?

£670/sqft really isn't that expensive for a nicer bit of London.

But that place is at the back of the shops on a busy high street. In Zone 5. And the garden is smaller than many flats.

Stupid money.

Yeah I see it now, wander round on streetview really shows it.

pic 2 brings back memories. as a kid my mum did my bedroom like that (two tone wallpaper and the strip in the middle) without asking me. in a rage i ripped it all off and asked them to paint it playstation2 electric blue.

This is the right place.

Seems Flannels and Selfridges are interchangeable when it comes to placing shopping bags for photos.

The agents have the gall to describe it as a "villa". That's amazing.

It's a crappy new-build, with a tiny garden, decorated with absolutely no character, hemmed in by other crappy new-builds.

And they want half a million quid on the outskirts of Glasgow, convenient for Asda and the motorway. Incredible.

I'm saying that's an 'estate agent/property developer' judging by the car.

Couldn’t agree more, quite a depressing place. And the EA’s hyperbole is hilarious throughout the ad, utter BS.

I wonder how the fit out was paid for.

Well-spotted. TBH I didn't go that far as it's a bit too glitzy for my liking.

Common term for any house in a city or town in Scottish Scotchland. They're pretty much all described as villas, it doesn't have the same connotation or pretense as in England.

Really? A detached house is a "villa" in Scotland?

Every day is a schoolday.

Yep. Doesn't even have to be detached. Examples:

Well, consider me educated. How bizarre.

Maybe it was also common in England in the past, I remember living in a Victorian terraced house in Windsor and there was a "Something Villas" inscribed stone on the house in the middle of the terrace. Perhaps the usage fell out of favour in England in the 20th Century but persisted in Scotland.

EDIT: correction, wasn't a stone but a metal plate:
