They've taken the "en" part of ensuite a bit too literally there :lol:

My sister's house was like that when she bought it! She ripped out out and all guests were told I'm no uncertain terms that it was never to be used. :lol:

That’s horrendous. Honestly, why would anyone do pics? Couple of externals and a floor plan. Boom, you’re done.

For those idiots on Homes Under The Hammer who buy properties without viewing them? :))

Ugh, I don’t want to view a toilet from my bed even when there’s no one on it!

And carefully photographed so you can’t see that it’s right next door to the junior school! :lol:

You could fix it very easily though, by taking the walls up to full height. There are natural light sources in both cubes, and plenty also in the main bedroom, it makes no sense to me to have them open.

Exactly! I'm no believer in feng shui but it can't be good to start each day waking up faced with a plopper.

Ok, it's not a house. It's a hotel room. Of DOOM. I stayed there once before in Winter and while a bit of a shock it had a cocoon like cosiness to it. In June all the black just seems like an emo-kid's weird dream.

:mog: no funnily enough, they didn't. Wonder why. 🤔

Is that streetview, or taken while picking up your offspring? :mrgreen:

This isn't really strange and it's only unusual in that it's got the most AMAZING porch set up I've every seen! The porch at the back is my absolute dream, and there's a balcony on the master bedroom! It's just a picture perfect all-American house and I love it so much. It's in a great neighbourhood too. I wonder if they want to do a straight up swap for my house :))

My only regret is that it’s not being sold by my favourite realtor, Nancy Taylor Bubes. Her name was on all the boards in Georgetown and it never failed to make little George snigger.

That’s beautiful. I’m going to spend some time imagining my life there now, thanks.

Your new dress is made for drinking Arnold Palmers on the porch, I’m quite sure of it.
