for thinking this house must have an oilfield underneath?

[silversun]

This house has been on the market for a while now and they have just increased the price

Bungalow
Devon
= overpriced.

Lots of people want to retire down that way and people seem to like beige bungalows to live out their days in.

Don't get it myself though.

What. The. Fuck.

Do you get the fields as well? It is not clear how big the garden is. I would not pay that much unless the garden was huge.

That is like looking at my grandparents' house

The kitchen tiles are interesting

No garden, it stops at the edge of the patio. The village is pretty much 50/50 locals and retired londoners......

I live in Lond

I live in London and thought what good value it was

is that a lot? Wouldn't get you a 2 bed flat round my way so my thoughts may be somewhat skewed!

Does this make you feel any better?

What's on the wall above the fireplace in picture 4? It looks a bit like a tabloid picture of Madonna as the Virgin Mary.

Seems reasonable to me - bungalows fetch pretty good prices nowadays as they don't tend to build new ones very often. This one has amazing views and is in a desirable area. Plus 60s/70s properties usually have better dimensions than more modern ones and have more potential to extend or convert the loft. Also I'm guessing non-estate location.....need I go on?

It's not just Devon though is it ? Houses like this in favoured villages in south Derbyshire are bought as building plots and replaced by something magnificent.

There are loads of little villages in Devon that are apparently 'desireable' and the prices are ridiculous. I don't like the Honiton area myself, although I don't know exactly where this bungalow is. I think it is overpriced but then if someone is prepared to pay it, fair play to them.

But all your neighbours will smell of wee!

And it's hideous! It's not like you're getting some quaint little Devonshire cottage.

We used to have that sofa 20 years ago

Half the house appears inaccessible from the other half

It's in Honiton, it's about average I'd say.

Potential plot, for someone with a decent budget to build something nice.

estate agents are always leaving doors off the plans or putting htem in the wrong place

i love the way that the FIRST interior photo shown is of the utility room

How do you get into the 'Kitchen / breakfast room' without going out of the back doors in the lounge & going back in through the conservatory?!
I thought it was quite cheap too. I live in a tiny 2/3 bed house in SE London that's 'worth' more than that bungalow.

probably a fault by the person who drew the plans up. there's also an enormous hole in the sitting room wall

Parents live near honiton. Lovely part of the world but this seems very overpriced. There's must be more to this. Only two bedroom....another with for bedrooms not the village or op one....

at all the "that's a bargain! My cardboard box in the Thames is worth more!" - surely everyone knows the London market exists only to itself!?

We had the same kitchen as the one posted by Londonrach in our council flat over 20 years ago , except we didn't have an odd looking extra wide dishwasher (pic 5).

I suppose the target market for 400k Devon bungalows is downsizing London retirees, hence the massive prices that look cheap to anyone selling a family home within the M25.
