Only ten bedrooms over all buildings?
Questionable decor?

@LindaLa - what do you mean?

LindaLa · 12/03/2019 10:47

@wowfudge

The property.

Not sure if it's false advertising.
It's ten bedrooms over several buildings.

The decor is quite odd

What makes you think it's false advertising? It's a collection of properties on one site. 🤷

LindaLa · 12/03/2019 10:56

Because it says "10 bedroom detached property"

To me that means one 10 bedroom house not 3 here, two there, two there etc.

Your thread title makes no sense, which was what I was querying. It's quite clear from the description that it's a main house with a number of rental properties on the same site. My guess would be that that's the best way of describing it on the online form the EA has to complete.

Thread title is gaff as in house, not gaffe as in mistake.

Don’t know the area but seems a lot for something that needs loads of work

onalongsabbatical · 12/03/2019 11:06

Ah, you see you've done something interesting with the title because 'gaff' is slang for house or dwelling, whereas gaffe means mistake, so the question is did you mean gaff or gaffe, and when you said gaff were you making a gaffe?

Yes it's definitely misleading as house is single and there are God knows how many properties (no idea where the flats are) Is it in an are where there is a good tourist turnover? I imagine it could be quite profitable if you let them as holiday lets.

Until I looked at the photos I was going to say that it's main problem was being in Weston.

onalongsabbatical · 12/03/2019 11:16

Yeah location def not its biggest problem...

wowfudge · 12/03/2019 11:22

The whole title, "What do you reckon if this gaff??" is gobbledegook!

VioletCharlotte · 12/03/2019 11:38

Yes it is misleading '10 bedroom detached property' means 1 property with 10 bedrooms, not 10 bedrooms over multiple properties!

LilQueenie · 12/03/2019 11:39

There is an actual tree in the bathroom!

caperplips · 12/03/2019 11:58

Horrendous!

CabbageHippy · 12/03/2019 12:02

it's hideous

Palominoo · 12/03/2019 13:38

The fireplace looks like an inner chamber to Spider Hell but I love the pink bathroom suite and the artificial lilac tree in another bathroom.

Loads of potential though but I wouldn't want to live in Weston Super Mare.
