Yes! Lovely house with a decent amount of privacy and land, yet equally within walking distance to stuff.

Exactly my thing.
Pretty much perfect, apart from the £2.5m needed to buy it. hehe
Agreed, best one i've seen on here for ages.
Either it's the plans or the ensuites aren't actually ensuite!

The floor plan is a pain in the arse to view in detail on a phone. Why all 3 floors are crammed into one floor plan, and there's not a separate tab for each floor is probably some illogical reasoning. Is it cheaper that way ? No.

I think if there's any land you want a drone picture.

Is the location pin in the right place on the map?

That sort of attention to detai matters.

There's no excuse for typos or mistakes.

Every mistake the estate agent made, I phoned and explained that we are paying alot of money for their work, and we aren't paying for them to get fundamentals wrong. And followed it up with an email.

Different price bracket.

I did my own advert for a rental via open rent which went on Rightmove, and maybe because I took my time, even with photos taken with a phone, and a floor plan done on PowerPoint, it was a better advert than any letting agent.
Although to be fair, demand for rents was that high, one line and one picture would have had the same impact.

Can I say, that the house is very sterile. All white. Just what appeals to everyone. They know they can paint the odd wall in an afternoon, if they want. You don't want too many photos. You want them.to be intrigued wnough to want to view.


Oops
And I won't even mention the english. I'd love to see the advert.

But excellent spot. Could do better.

Yes, this was put up quite recently. The lovely "Floating" staircase was much commented on.

There is a reason for that and it's not the staircase.

Is that some sort of chemical plant? Looks well screened by trees but not sure I'd want to spend a million plus and have that at the end of my garden.

They make vitamin supplements for farm animals. No idea if the process is smelly/noisy/dangerous but you'd want to check it out before you committed.

Very close to where I grew up. You'll need to have a passion for closely observing the underside of intercontinental aircraft, and also sitting in traffic jams all summer whilst people attempt to get into World of Wasps Legoland.

Still, there are grammar schools nearby in Slough.
