And if you're not overstimulated enough, there's a massive telly 2 ft from your face :twitch:.

It looks like one of those abandoned psychiatric hospitals on 'urban explorer' websites. Did they hand-paint the realistic damp skirting boards and black mouldy grout too?

They want to get that sink looked at, all sorts of shit has started growing up the base.

The ShyKids are even creepier than Reborn dolls. At least they have a point. The US name is a 'TimeOut Kid'? So, people get such a kick out of seeing a child in 'time out' with its face to a wall they feel they want to recreate the magical moment at all times?

Odd spot for a couch in picture 19?

To relax and have a chat to whoever is doing their business? To relax and read a book two feet away from a loo?

Oh, I would like that, I think. To relax and do beauty stuff (face packs, nail varnish etc.) in the comfort of a warm, well-lit and private bathroom. Yes, I approve.

I would prefer if the loo was closed off, but shure you can't have everything.

Ah of course, beauty stuff, I didn't think of that!

I hate that too Tess, but it's such a beautiful bath I might make an exception.

The Havisham house! I'd have to scrub it all over. Each picture was worse than the one before.

Hmm. The owners clearly think they have an eye for interior design. The master bedroom, especially. :lol:

And this house is lovely (and the village too, it is just as pretty as it looks). But 52 photos?? Overkill :emme:

The pic of the row of crappy looking garages has cracked me up, maybe just mention the garage as a selling point when they look so scruffy. :lol:

That master bedroom is horrible. And so is this one.

Oh NO, what is that? With the chair there it looks like a strange nursing home.

Aaw, see pictures like that do make me think it is a lovely old lady who struggled and this was the solution. I'm enjoying the crazy pebbles bathroom though.
