What to do when there is so much stuff you can't see the mantle clock...simply add the clock to the pile of stuff!!

DH has sent me this gem....he likes a fixer-upper and I'm a bit worried! 😮

Agree with all the posters who think the original post is insensitive.

Me too Sad

Yes it’s obvious that an old and infirm or disabled person lived there. But, they were able to use the stairs and I think once upon a time that house was well looked after and quite lovely. I’ve seen a lot worse.

It makes me sad to see how little space the owner used by the end, how small their world had become. That’s a bog standard 3 bed semi and you can practically see the path in the kitchen, the armchair that was sat in, the bits of the bathroom that were used, the bedroom that was slept in. Somebody did care though. Bleach in the bathroom, a functioning microwave, matching pillowcases and a proper duvet and mattress.

It comes to us all, in the end.

Posts like these don’t sit easily with me. This strikes me as someone elderly or who couldn’t cope and has either died or had to leave their home.

Me too

I think it's a smashing house. I wouldn't turn my nose up at 2 reception rooms and my word, those bedrooms have lovely high ceilings with lots of natural light. My humble cesspit is a dark dump in comparison.

It's up on auction so likely a repossession.

Aw, thought I'd be seeing a maximalist house.

I agree.

That house has insane amounts of potential. Once the rubbish is out it'd be easy to flip.

Looks like it has potential at that price.
However, very close to Heathrow, suspect there would sig't plane noise.
