I know someone who lived there a few years back, before it got really bad. The house is in a pretty bad state but It's could be a fantastic if someone was to put some money & love into it. If I was sitting on a pot of gold I'd love to tare it apart & do it up.

If you put in a wood-burning stove you'd probably get away with not having to pay to heat the place for the next decade.

They could have actually made money out of the cash for ash offer up North until quite recently

Fallow with a grave!
Either that or the prayers for growth are falling on deaf ears.

Does anyone believe that there are ACTUAL windows in that place? Coz it looks to me like the 2 "windows" are just curtains covering up brick walls.

As there are structural works required ideally suited to a builder or a cash buyer.

They really weren't joking, were they :eek:

It has lots of potential (rooms look bright and well-proportioned) and seemingly a decent roof, but you'd really want to have a good budget for works on top of the purchase price. I love older houses but see their pitfalls!

I had to laugh at this one. You know that line in The Godfather, 'Leave the gun, take the cannoli'?

Well this is 'Leave the bed, take the kitchen. All of it. And everything else. Even some of the lightbulbs'.

I was expecting to see a half fed lurcher and piebald in the back yard...

I'll have to disagree with you there!!

Good lord, wtf.

You'll be living in a basement where the only source of natural light is from a ground level window which will probably be frequented by junkies. Open the curtains and you'll be greeted with a junkies ass crack against the window

That looks like a reposession job to me. I can imagine the owner saying to the bank: "Ye can have the house but I'll be damned if ye're gettin the fixtures".

I might be confused but I think it says that the kitchen and living room are only accessible by going around to the back garden and in through the patio doors! It seems you can't go from there to the rest of the house. If you look at the picture of the floor plan that seems to be true. Surely it wasn't built like that?

It's just the fact that they left what looks like a perfectly good bed (and one bedside locker) that got me. There must be something seriously wrong with it for them to have left it behind when they ripped out everything else - maybe the bed is haunted :eek:

Given the second ex-kitchen, it looks like they turned the back of the ground floor into a self contained flat, with an entrance from the back garden, probably to rent it out. They must have bricked up the kitchen door, and installed a new kitchen somewhere else.

I think I remember that being in this a couple of years ago, when it wen't up for sale! Potential for refurbishment I think they said...they obviously reckoned with the current market why bother. "Sure they'll be more than happy to live in the wooden dungeon, be grand."

Nah.. the van was full is all.. filled with the cabinets etc and they just could not squeeze the bed and cabinet it.. I know as I had to leave a lovely armchair behind when I moved here... :rolleyes:

My theory is that they brought the bed in though the front door. Then when they went to take it out......
