very exciting thread

(44 Posts)

right, ahem. I am offering an American candy bar of your choice (see terms and conditions below) to the winner. the game is to find the most ridiculous house on rightmove to be decided by me. By "ridiculous" I mean yurt or underground bunker or the like. This does not mean bad wallpaper, over abundance of bunting, or livingrooms with Wolf men inside.

* T&C: prize value not to exceed 2 dollars and should any American mumsneters choose to enter and subsequently win they may of course also have their choice of an American candy bar but it would see a bit pointless really. should such an occasional arise a kindly British mumsnetter may choose to send pombears but of course that is entirely up to them.

Interesting to zoom out of that link to work out where in the UK the mill was.

Bit late to the party, but I quite like this

It's just basically a glorified Wendy House (I so want it!).

That's lovely! If I had the spare money I'd buy it. Apparently they're extremely popular and make you money.

How about this?

I would have had a fab one a few years back when we were looking. They had converted the downstairs loo into the world's smallest sauna.

Land in the vague shape of a penis

Tee2072 Sat 16-Mar-13 09:01:12

I guess, DeadlyDonkey if you stretch the definition, that is indeed a 6 bedroom detached (waaay detached) house. And yes, that looks like a penis.

Wonky your links don't work.

A garage that is not a garage.

If you open the brochure, one of the selling points is that it is close to Heather Mills' popular Vbites restaurant. shock

Not sure whether the small table/stool is included in the sale. It's not a deal-breaker, but it'd be nice to know.

Is that a 'fridge, Talc?

Not sure Tee.

It may be a chipboard cupboard with delusions of fridge-dom.

Shall we all chip in and buy this - and open the first MN General Stores, selling all manner of MN-themed produce and fancy goods? It is at the top end of Lower Frog Street, which is a superb address, I'm sure you will all agree.

There could be a Naice Ham chiller - and every wire hand-basket in the stack would of course contain a discarded shopping list.

We could take turns to don the striped butcher's apron and serve the local populace with a cheery rub of our ruddy hands. MNers would flock from all over the globe in earnest pilgrimage.

euph, image 6 is that a pair of undies hanging up ? shock

Shed-style shed

Comes with free woman who did not dodge out of shot (due to lack of space, presumably).

Property for sale in Orkney

Or Barrow-in-Furness.

Or Catford.

Wherever you want, really. Petrol NOT included.
