How about 12 bedrooms and a pool for less than £400k?

Wowzer! I wonder what the setup their is at the moment? Rented on a room by room basis?

It's got to be a children's home or a halfway house of some sort, surely?

I would assume someone will demolish it! It’s ugly beyond description! Including the pool! Who wants a urinal in a bathroom? It’s presumably some sort of hostel. The money needed to make this pleasant is huge so of more interest to developers. Who allowed that extension??? Beyond awful!

Is the extension built out of shipping containers? I suppose the pool would be quite a liability to either make good or get rid of.

There appears to be a dead cow on the bed of bedroom three!

It's definitely been some sort of supported living I can tell a mile off by the bedrooms, especially the two tubs of chocolates on one of the beds and an armchair in each one.

Got potential bit its currently awful!

That needs knocking down

Seems it is a family home!

That article has absolutely convinced me something else is going on here--some kind of halfway house or care home situation. It's way too defensive.

The estate agent who took those photos needs to find a new job. It’s hideous. Dated, dirty and dismal.

Why is there a urinal in a ‘family home?
And why is there a towel rail right beside the urinal?

Come on, let's all chip in but bagsy room number 3!

@bobstersmum curious as to how the chocolates gave it away. We had both a tub of celebrations and heroes on our bed earlier. Admittedly at the moment the decor in the house linked in the OP actually puts ours to shame

What a sight. The recreation room

Ahh the article is hilarious! The family apparently can’t decide which of their many other properties they will live in when it sells. A villa in Turkey, property in Spain and others in the UK. Brilliant.

I feel the bragging about other properties funded by the people living in that pit is a bit distasteful.

82 and still not yet retired... being a property developer and landlord has really worked out well for him I see.

@betternamechangeforthisone the patients I supported hoarded treats and goodies and kept them in their rooms, they were like tuck shops!

I have lived in hostels and supported accommodation, it looks quite upmarket compared to the dives I have lived in. I do wonder why a "family home" has a fire extinguisher in it.

It could be a house used by contractors. A couple of photos you can see a fridge in the bedroom and could also explain the dead cow reflective jacket.

‘Quiet cul-de-sac’ says the EA description. No mention of the fact the M62 backs onto the property.

Terry, who works as a landlord and property developer, said his family were more concerned about which of their many other homes they will be moving to after the house is sold.

I would be worried too

They'd be better off trying to get planning permission to knock it down and rebuild 2 or 3 properties.

It is well above the price for that road, and needs a lot of work, even the front is very 'blah'
