Look at this beauty I just found on Rightmove!

Promise it's not mine, I'm just dream window shopping

It is stunning 😍

Love it but definitely needs more rugs on those floors!

Rugs are just things to trip over especially on stone/ wood floors as they slide about.

The owners comments in the description sounds like they've put in a lot of work and money, but that it's never ending

You need to try rug grips!

It's lovely. Really really nice.

But...

How the hell did they get that boat in there?

Why is there a wall and a hole in front of the kitchen cabinets next to the fridge - I'd fall down it at least once a week!

It's beautiful but how on earth are they going to get that boat out?

It's errmm ....unusual. Kitchen's a nice size, about as big as the whole ground floor of my house.
I love noseying on rightmove 🤣

Now THAT is a house with character. Love it.

Not sure about the boat, or is it a table?

I do a lot of home visits as part of my job, and recently I went to a home with very high ceilings overlooking a bay- they had an upside boat that had been turned into a light fixture hanging above the dining room table! I did wonder how in earth they got it in.

Wow. That’s a lot of wood

What a really beautiful house, I absolutely love it!

Can appreciate the character but I wouldn’t want to live there! I bet they’ll get loads of viewings from people just wanting a nosey.

I don’t like it. The stairs terrify me

I love the house but I think they ruined it putting a swimming pool in. Why?! Also the fake diamond-pane windows.

But I am just being a curmudgeon really! It seems really cheap to me, and I don't live in an expensive part of the country. I do love the mill stuff.

I love it but no heating, and puddles in one room in heavy rain, it needs lots more work.

What is the boat for ?

It looks great! Shame about the Japanese knotweed, must be really gutting for them to put all that work in and then be held back by that.

Is that a railway line on the viaduct? And yes, the boat has to go.

Too much wood for my liking.

I can't find the swimming pool on the floor plan.

Certainly quirky, with loads of history but it does look a bit of a money pit to me. I'd be put off by the idea of living under that towering viaduct....something a bit oppressive about it. It has a long list of things that need fixing and not sure about the puddles inside when it rains. No floods since 2015 isn't really that long to prove the flood defences work. That said it's in a good location for commuters to Plymouth and there's a lovely pub down the road!

Awful location. One would have to like trains

It looks terrifying but also beautiful at the same time! Not for me though....

Why have they written all the bad stuff in the description? Didn't they read the thread on here the other day from the woman who lived near the train line?
