Selling your house in winter

[sevenyearoldsarecrazy]

If you have an extension overlooking the garden that is quite cold in winter (but fine the rest of the year) would you (if selling in winter)

a) use it as a tidy form of toy storage
b) put the dining table and chairs in there even though it is not the right time of year for it

??

I think b would make it look more interesting/useable but I don't want to give a false impression.......

b).

Also, if you have any photos of the garden in winter, give them to your EA for the brochure, there's nothing more depressing than a leafless, flowerless winter garden (unless it's photographed on a frosty day).

I'd also make sure that the internal photos show the fire lit, candles lit etc.

If only we did have a fire!
But thanks, maybe the table is the way to go then.

We are currently selling and our -freezing cold junk space/toy room/play area-- conservatory is set up as a dining area, I have it set with ware and candles, I also have hyacinths and tulips in pots that I chuck on the window sills and around the garden to brighten it up, every weekend when there are viewings I run to the garden centre and buy some cheap flowering plants.

I like your style canyou!

I'd put the table and chairs in there. The more soft fabrics and lamps you can put in there, the warmer the room will seem - so: rugs, a throw draped over a dining chair, a tablecloth, lamps round edge of room (switched on of course!) will all help.

I'm not sure about having table laid for viewings, but a nice bowl or something as a centrepiece is good.

You could always have a few toys in the corner to demonstrate that that is another use for the space.
