    Looks like a barber shop you see in movies.

    Not a place to recline in.

    Here's something different, a property without a door!

    Inaccessible first-floor Wisbech property for sale for £100

    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-51310566

    A town centre property is going under the hammer for what might seem like the bargain price of £100 - but the only problem is you cannot get into it.
    The 12sq m river-view first-floor room, wedged between two properties and suspended over an alleyway is for sale in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire.
    However, it is blocked off from both sides and even the auctioneer has not been in, as the Cambs Times reported.
    It is "one of the weirdest" things the auctioneers have seen, they said.

    Surely the place beside it would buy it and knock a hole in the wall so that they can use it. Cheap way to add an extra room to the place.

    It’s a bit pricey ... but at least it’s an honest listing ... I guess ?

    I presume it's a mistake and that's the purchase price.

    Dryer
    This is one of a few places in the area that has this feature

    The description says there's barbecue, free sauna and one can make a noise. Basically it's the place to pass out after long drinking sessions.

    Man-child home decor.

    Was there a Man U duvet in the master bedroom as well?

    I'm sure I've seen that on here at least twice before - I wonder does it keep getting sold, or is it just for sale for ever?

    Think it's just never sold been mentioned a few times before. Originally up for €395k in July 2018


    I'm imagine they've spent at least €295k on it though it was built in 1991 so not boom time prices. It's certainly quirky I do like the outside. Might be better just Airbnbing it.

    The interior of that house would not have been cheap and there is some attention to detail. But feckin awful IMO.
    And the maintenance on a non standard thatched roof? That will cost.

    I'd change the appearance internally but fcuk it, it's gorgeous on the outside. Maybe I'd get rid of the holy statue at the gate though.

    Uff, it's like something from the set of a kids tv show. How on earth it got planning?

    Different strokes for different folks. I think it's lovely (on the outside).


  • Registered Users Posts: 28,047 ✭✭✭✭looksee


    That house settled into a 'woodland grove' and with the inside simplified to genuine rustic would still look like a film set but might be acceptable, as it is it is fussy and twee beyond living in. You would need a full time cleaner and handyman just to keep it in order.

    It's hardly the worst it is at a cross roads surrounded by another cluster of houses. They are mile from the village that has a pub and a petrol station/shop. I'd have a bigger issue with the massive 300m2 mcmansions built in the middle of the country side on 2 acre sites in sites in locations where they stick out like a sore thumb. Parts of the country are absolutely blighted with them. A lot of them even ran out money and can't even afford to landscape them.

    It reminds me of the Swiss Cottage in Cahir but that was built as a folly!

    Quirky and interesting, unlike most of the houses being built these days. Would live there in a heartbeat (if it wasn't in Offaly ;))
