A little TLC required.

Remember:

The open house on the 28th is going to be an absolute hoot. I hope they've booked St Johns Ambulance.

Very nice. You'll have to fight me for it.
Icing on the cake

OMG What has happened here ?

IMO EAs could make more of an effort & provide some room sizes. Surely someone took some measurements despite the junk

Viewing is highly recommended to avoid disappointment - Yeah right

Welcome Icing on The Cake! I was thinking exactly the same thing - with those laser pointy measuring things (and yes, that is the technical name for them that you would ask for one in B&Q by...) there's no reason for not putting in the room sizes - most doors are at the corner of the room, so you barely have to set foot in the room to take the measurements.

It's a bit strange - the kitchen looks like it must have been a recent thing, and some other rooms look like they may have been well maintained, but outside at the back there's graffitti, and it's hugely overgrown. I wonder how long it's been left like this?

Looks like a nice old place, until you notice this picture :



...and realise that the place has been storage for thousands of corpses over the centuries, possibly even during the black death!

I would like to think that it was just where the grave diggers sat and drank their cups of tea, where the logistics people decided where to put which body, and where they did the admin - surely the corpses would be held at the undertakers and then shifted over to the cemetery and straight into the ground?

It looks like a charming little place - the windows are beautiful... but not worth the current price they're trying to flog it for.

I can't quite work out what happened here. I suspect it's been repossessed, but it appeared to be in the process of being done up (note the unfitted bathroom suite).

Perhaps it's a Beanie project that overran, got repossessed and then the local yobs (from Great Cornard) got in and trashed it. But it's so trashed I find it hard to believe that all that rubbish was ever originally in the house.

It's almost as though someone's been fly-tipping there.

If you click on picture 5 of the Sudbury house one of the interior rooms has a lawnmower, a seat back that looks like its from a Rolls Royce or Bentley and a car bonnet. The house has a garage, which is a better place for these items. blink.gif

Its not one of Lotto Lout Michael Carroll's houses that he's trying to sell? wink.gif
