Just having a browse online, dreaming of living by the sea.

This listing has really irritated me. Is it my age? Hormones? Am I tired?

The place is beautiful but the wordy listing has really made angry 🤬🤣

Are you going to share the link, @ItsLikeClimbingAMounjaro , or do you want us to guess the house?

VickyEadieofThigh · 10/04/2025 18:38

I think you forgot the link...

Unless Neptune’s boundless oceanographic realm is heavy with melancholia and yet somehow still pregnant with unlimited possibilities I’m going to be a bit disappointed.

Almost certainly Chat GPT (wielded by a lazy amateur)... I'd be furious with that description if I were the vendor!

AgnesX · 10/04/2025 18:57

The EA trying to justify their % fee of £1.5m....

Heh heh heh x

I live near here (relatively). Westbourne Village indeed. Heh heh heh.

I guess you’re not really allowed to say that it has bland but relatively inoffensive interiors and that the Edwardian architecture is confused, giving size but without real character or presence.

Well they must surely have approved it before it went online!

MistressoftheDarkSide · 10/04/2025 19:08

It did used to have connections to a Baronet. There's a little album and some history on Flickr if your curiosity is piqued.

AnSolas · 10/04/2025 19:09

Ugly photos for that price band😬

I’ve been doing the same thing. Dreaming of packing up the cat and my books. I could spend my days beach combing, drawing and making new friends.

Much more natural write-up. Snap it up (save it from becoming a wasted second home)!

Indeed, Westbourne is not exactly a "village". Many years ago, I rented a couple of rooms above a hairdressers in the Arcade.

Upsidedownsides · 10/04/2025 19:29

Don’t known how it’s described as a house when it’s actually a FLAT

BaronessBomburst · 10/04/2025 19:31

The traffic in the summer...... You'll never be able to get your car out.

Mudlarking · 10/04/2025 19:34

Haha it’s positively frothing!!

TheReturnOfFeathersMcGraw · 10/04/2025 19:34

The bolding definitely suggests ChatGPT

Maybe but it might be so lovely on the beach, I wouldn’t care.

Jabberwok · 10/04/2025 19:36

Is this a case of trying to make a silk purse out of a sows ear? I expect the owners have been thumping on about the grandeur, the refinement....it's s bloody flat

Also the pictures are confusing...none of the rooms look square! The kitchen seems to take up most of the flat with 3 dining tables (I think)

PigInADuvet · 10/04/2025 19:36

It's not for me. Firstly with that layout I'd get lost, and secondly scooping leaves from the trees of the pool would drive me potty.

Depending on when, we might have been neighbours 😂 twice lived in a very haunted flat above the card shop next door to the continental style cafe x (Long, weird story lol).

Trumpsgoneloco · 10/04/2025 19:46

Wow what a house & relatively cheap!

didn't realise it was just the downstairs 😆 still a lot of sq ft.
