and why? if you want to share

Im babysitting as its half term and doing some property porn in Royal Leamington Spa

That’s a lot of wine to drink!

If we're playing at being Leamington Spa millionaires, then I've always wanted to know what the inside of this one looks like...

I wouldn't buy either but if I had to choose then it would be number 1. Simply because I can look past the decor and the annexe over the garage would be perfect for my daughter. Number 2 has no parking and nowhere near enough bathrooms for a house that size. Plus the kitchen is horrible.

Number 2 has no parking

It has a garage and a carport - I think both are double or at least the car port is - so room for 3 cars

I think my old English teach would know

Chuchoter

school playing field

What I meant to say was that it would not have enough parking for my family. We have four cars. A garage and a carport on some random street not next to the house would not be suitable.

Number 2 by a country mile. Number 1 is just naff.

I prefer no1 as I like a more contemporary style. However the decor is soulless and looks like it has been staged to sell. I could make that into a lovely home with less hotel like furniture.
No 2 looks like it is a home already and beautifully decorated but less to my style.

@user2155340308842 I was thinking houses are expensive in leamington!

If paying that amount I wouldn't want to be so overlooked and on a busy main road. Would also want an ensuite. So that would rule out No 2

Garden very small in house no 1 and wouldn't want kids playing football right by my boundary, again not worth the money

they are at the bottom of the garden, but hay if you need a garage right next to the house then thats not going to work for you - I don't have the asking price anyway and couldn't afford the council tax or heating bills😂

Oh why? I lived in Wells and loved it. Mind you that was some time ago.

Number one creeps me out for some reason. It looks like something out of a film or drama where the weird automaton wife lives. urgh. makes me shudder.

I'd also turn one of the bedrooms upstairs into another bathroom

in number 2 the dressing room is large enough to make into 2 bathrooms, so you could have 2 ensuite to the two largest bedrooms - one is now an office

2nd one has more character , but they are both close to other properties.

For the money I'd like more space around them.

Number 1. Lovely views, high spec, quiet location and multiple bathrooms.

All they’d need to do is put external shutters on those windows and it’d look good..

Haha. I guess it just goes to show how relative everything is when it comes to houses.

Yeah, I'd still take one of those bedrooms and turn it into a nice, big bathroom/shower room.

I'd also pull up the carpets! Not a big fan of carpeting. And replace it with wood floors and area rugs.

2 looks beautiful but I don’t think it is adequately bathroomed for the cost. The whole upstairs is a bit disappointing.

1 has a lovely floor plan and the garage adds a lot but it is lacking a bit of character.

apart from the price they are very different homes.

No 2. Far more character.

No 1 is also very close to a big A road and I'd be worried about the school selling off their playing fields and a housing estate being crammed in that field/

YABU. The kitchen in house 2 doesn't have enough storage.

I used to live in Leamington Spa- number 2 without a doubt!

Who needs parking when there’s a huge garage? It’s a much, much nicer house than the first one.

What's the difference between a garage and a car port? I didn't think a car port had a door but this one does

It's a choice between old and new. I think for that money the location would be a factor for me too.
