I like it, good size rooms, blank canvas.

Area is lovely. very quiet, mostly professional types, lots of woodland.

Similar house but not the same house? Not a problem.

There's nothing that size for that price local to me. Good or bad areas.

Probably ok with an altered layout. I really wish developers wouldn't chop a substatial amount off the master bedroom just to fit in an ensuite though.

Did it go for less money because of the history? I think estates agents have to disclose such events.

Not sure what the point of your post is, OP? Are you saying it shouldn't have sold because a similar house had someone murdered in it?

Confused here too.

In response to the original question, no, I think it's ugly and boring and the layout is insane - the hallway is claustrophobic with only one door into living space.

What's the murder thing got to do with it?

This is really bizarre

The "immaculate presentation" that brochure bangs on about is contradicted by the manky carpets.

I don't like the outside of it. Inside has good sized rooms but they need decorating as totally boring. I'd personally need to replace the kitchen and the floor in there and the bathroom too.

Would be a good rental property.

£195k?

I need to move north... Very similar house around the corner from us is £720k!!!

I'm amazed at people saying this house looks like a "developer" job 😷. What with the 80's kitchen, 90's fireplace, mismatched doors & carpets in need of a change. Empty, yes. Developed? I doubt it.

Sorry for random 😷 Emoji there. Unintentional!

Manky carpets ??

I thought they looked new and the marks were just where the pile is going in a different direction. I certainly wouldn't describe them as manky.

I think it's a fugly house but am astounded at the price assuming 'town' is Edinburgh.

Really not sure about the OP's motive for posting this though?

Sorry- ignore the carpet comments- was on my phone- looks way worse on my iPad

I wonder if OP is looking to sell her very similar house and wants to gauge opinion without posting her own home on the www.

carpets in need of a change

They look brand new to me.

Is that 20 minutes into the city centre if you have a helicopter? It takes a lot more than 20 minutes to drive into town at commuting times.

There is a new station at Eskbank. It is 20 mins to Waverley.

Fairly good sized rooms and obviously represents good vfm - although awkward layout would need changing - wouldn't appeal to me though as too bland/fugly/lacking in character......but I'm a period house girl

Needs new kitchen and bathroom, all that horrible artex removed and new carpets. I know the description says they are new carpets but they are really horrible.

Oh, I didn't know that Primal!

It's incredibly ugly. I wouldn't buy it but blimey it is cheap.

I don't like it either, but like older houses with character.
You don't spend your time looking at the outside of your house though, so if you like the layout and size of rooms it will be a good buy.
You'd get the same for your money here too, NW, so not cheap at all.

I am not sure why you have mentioned what you have if it isn't the house relating to the murder. I am assuming the big case about 10 years ago.
