    Who doesn't want an exposed chimney in the room, unscrewed sockets around the sink and a single bed with no mattress?

    At least there was no expense spared on the garden furniture, that kind of makes up for the interior flaws.

    The eye sees what the eye wants to see. :D

    They look like ordinary shorts to me. They look too big to be boxers.

    You'd have to be brain damaged to live in a place like that. And if you're not, well, it probably wouldn't be long before you were.

    If that chimney belongs to another flat then that means you'll either have free heat, or basically no control over the temperature of your accommodation.

    Topless man in shorts, to be fair, but still fairly noticeable. To my eyes anyway :o

    I think whats after happening is that there is no other 'flat' as such. Just some cute hoor whose house you have to go through in order to your accomodation


    Shur you know the type. Uppity lad/gal who heard about people making 'stupid money' renting out spare rooms and the like and decides to herd a few very cheap but not so cheerful tradesmen into their attic to convert it on a shoestring with the hope of making lots of money quickly.



    First time you pay the rent they'll be delighted to see the money. Second month perhaps will be OK but the third month they'll be secretly getting really annoyed and resentful about the fact that you're sharing the building with them and they'll start with the friendly requests. Make a little less noise when you come in, do this, do that, do the next thing


    Few more months will pass and internally they'll be seething with hatred towards you but still tolerating you. They'll start to blackguard you, come into your room while you're gone, f*ck with your stuff, give out to you over completely unreasonable stuff and things will get ugly. If they're lucky you'll fcuk off at this point and they'll hope to rent to some no life quiet loner with an OCD cleaning obsession. This will fail. After a year or two they'll be left with a sh1tty attic conversion they never really wanted without breaking even

    Edit: They'll refuse to fix stuff like that hanging socket because they're hell bent on making money. If the place starts to fall apart they'll blame you. On the way out they'll meticulously scrutinise the place for a reason to keep your deposit and fulfill their landed gentry fantasy

    You'd be surprised how quickly the costs would rack up. It'll be a listed listed building so you can't lash away at the work without taking extra precautions.

    And it's also on an island.

    Deep pockets man, deep pockets.


    Be grand shur. People throwing good stuff into skips every day of the week because they're modernodernising and upgrading and all this malarky. Bringing material to these places does cost a bit more than the mainland but it's not prohibitive.



    If you manage to get a roof on it and windows in that will buy you time. Nobody is saying you need to turn it into a palace within a year

    If you're buying a lighthouse on an island for half a million, I doubt you'd be dumpster diving for cupboards for the kitchen.

    My exact thought, go out to the garden, sit down on your own and cry away in peace :D

    Definite serial killer vibe with those mannequins. I wouldn't go digging up the back garden.

    What the hell is going on here? I expect to see this house again on a Netflix series à la Making a Murderer.

    Maybe that's why the Virgin Mary is praying for her.

    Or it could be the "lady" who seems to have fallen over with no pants on and has a small bunny rabbit peeking over her arse.

    I do like that the gentleman in blue is politely averting his eyes :D

    I know where the house is located.
    I've never seen PVC doors used as internal doors before, also the wannabe Louis Vuitton mats, sofas. kitchen chairs wrapped in plastic and the fridge magnets really add to it.

    the kitchen table and chairs are wrapped in plastic, bit unusual looking also. They are leather so it should be easy to clean anyway
