This is the house I went to view, I liked it.

It was bought in November 2001 for £66,950. The asking price is £139,950, valuation at £132 and they probably want £135. I was thinking of offering £129.

The property advert is here.

OF all the places I've seen this is BY FAR the nicest - it flicks my switch and floats my boat in many ways, for example it's not too huge unlike say 29, Coulston Road which I also liked, nor is it as closed in as some of the old mill workers cottages - or as huge as the other place I saw which was too big with great views but no yard. It's a cul-de-sac and close to town, big back road (not mancy rubbish strwn lane) with anough space to park, south facing yard and all OK.

Some BIG QUESTIONS though - structurally and so on. The seller is moving end of the year to a new job so wants to sell. No Previous surveys though and I recon cut out the middle man and go straight for a structural at around £300.

Need to find out why the bathroom has separate gas heater not central heating - is the boiler at capacity, other questions included below.

Would def want some furnishings etc. chucked in.

Soe what do YOU think - use the comment button please!

From the front - bay window and door straight on to pavement. Great location though. 

From the back - the concrete skin could hide a multitude of sins, how old/how bad? 

Loads of space in master bedroom/attic study 

The attic room - space for an en-suite at the back? THat'd be great, but where would the money come from? Othersie a LONG way from a loo! 

The view from the attic room - if you lean against the window that is... 

Stairs up to attic room 

That's all the view you get from bedroom - but it's not as closed in as the 2 up 2 down outside loo and a cup of bovril houses round the corner... 

Good size double bedroom at the front 

The double bedroom - no view though :-( 

That's the back yard - big enough for a small car (or park it out the back day to day) and south facing so sunny 

Kids room/ possible sudy? 

Real working and v. v. pretty fire - I really really really like that! 

Currently very open to a good sized kitchen/diner which is also nice and light, then through from there to the bathroom (brrrr) 

Nice lounge, bay makes it light, you do get the JW's IN YOUR LOUNGE though - but is that the worst thing ever??? 

Bathroom's nice enough - not too small but will it be damp/cold? 

Gonna be a bit cold without putting souble glazing in the bathroom too - gloucester was baltic and it's NOT nice! 

And this cellar is a bit mancy really - not sure where all that water's come from - washing machine and defrosted freezer or real problems afoot? Drain a little smelly and loft glass-wool style insulation falling out of ceiling... 

You can kind of see straight through from the pavement 

Now there;'s no two ways about it - that's a BIG crack in the back outside extension.

And it's not a shed, it's the bathroom!!!
