Well, you get more leg room on an economy flight than in this lounge!

Can you imagine Christmas around the fire? www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-47806475.html

I like to think that whoever is selling it have spend many evenings on the separate couches, legs curled under them, bitching at each other about their inability to use a tape measure when furniture shopping

BehindLockNumberNine · 25/09/2014 07:49

I like it but would furnish it completely differently.
That furniture is huge for the tiny room.

I would be tempted to remove the dresser from the kitchen, stick the dining table in there, then use the dining room as the lounge (as it appears bigger) and then use the tiny lounge as an office / tv room / snug / teenage hangout.

Cute cottage though, exactly what I hope to move into once the dc move out and we sell our characterless 1950s semi...

Ha ha, I'm looking for a house in BS! Or at least I will be when I finally get all the little DIY jobs done here and sell this place! Sadly it seems priced about right, there are loads of tiny little old properties in the town centre. I would live there if I was a first time buyer without kids, the lack of any garden is a bit sad though!

hiccupgirl · 25/09/2014 18:50

It's a cute cottage and I love the kitchen which is enormous is comparison to the rest of the house.

That lounge is crazy though...I can imagine getting my legs in and then be forever trapped behind the coffee table!

PinkSquash · 25/09/2014 20:01

Is the TV on the windowsill? Do you have to be an owl to live there?

How expensive has Stortford got, I can't believe it.

80sMum · 25/09/2014 21:21

It needs less furniture, that's all. Two chairs in the living room would work well, or possibly one small sofa. The coffee table is unnecessary. A small side table would suffice, or no table at all.

Pipbin · 25/09/2014 22:09

I thought 'not so bad' but then I saw the price!

Pipbin · 25/09/2014 22:11

And there is no parking!

Pipbin · 25/09/2014 22:12

And it backs onto a train line.

RJnomore · 25/09/2014 22:14

£265k!

There are definite advantages to living in Scotland.

Pipbin · 25/09/2014 22:16

Anywhere not London or London commuter belt.

I'm just over an hour from London and just sold a similar house for £100.

Naoko · 25/09/2014 22:22

From what I can see, the house I live in has a similar floor plan, except at some point in the past, someone very sensible has knocked through the dividing wall between the living and dining room. Cue decent size living/dining room, with room to breathe and sit on the sofa with your legs on the floor as opposed to curl up.

VestaCurry · 25/09/2014 22:27

Furniture way too big for sitting room! What muppet decided a pic with the the 2 sofas and the mahoosive coffee table in was a good idea? Oh yeah, that'll be the estate agent Hmm.

PrimalLass · 26/09/2014 12:44

It would be much better with a corner sofa, along the wall opposite the window and at 90 degrees to the door.

UniS · 26/09/2014 12:48

We used to have a house that size, it was fine. That house has too much too big furniture in, but the house itself is what it is, modest in size.

Woozlebear · 26/09/2014 19:53

Crikey. Anyone who thinks this is small or expensive should try living in London. I was looking at it thinking it was blinding value. I still think it is, if it's commutable to London. Same thing in Surrey would be way more.

The fact you can get two sofas in the front room is an improvement on my area in London where a 2 bed with a front room you can only get a small sofa and one chair in would cost you over 600.

I think it's quite cute anyway. Just badly furnished. Don't understand obsession with space. I like small houses. So many people seem to have these huge houses full of crap, and millions of bathrooms.

Tyranasaurus · 27/09/2014 06:44

Cute house- bonkers coffee table.

I remember a house I once looked at which was advertised as having a living room something like 12 feet by 15 feet. When I got there it was L-shaped and around 5 foot wide. There was a sofa facing a wall with a narrow gap to walk past to get round the corner to see the other sofa facing a wall. Utterly bizarre

Sandthorn · 27/09/2014 15:03

The sofas are bananas, but I was actually thinking it could be really nice... Then I saw the price Shock

VivaLeBeaver · 27/09/2014 15:15

Have you all seen where the TV is in the sitting room? Grin

Not very practicable.

BackforGood · 27/09/2014 15:31

It's all very typical cottage size, just furnished wrong.

sallysimpson · 28/09/2014 19:20

Shock i cant get over the price! We looked at a similar house here(beautiful part of country,low unemployment)newly decorated with a garden for 124k!!! How ever to people afford to buy in the south east?

PrimalLass · 28/09/2014 23:02

Not just the south east. That house would be the same price here (Fife).
