Thoughts?

I love the fact that the large house and the pics show the kids rooms full of toys

I like the tree ferns in the garden. Other than that though, hideous.

That’s what I thought too.

I think the reason the kids rooms look better is because they aren’t so bare. Most people would want to change the black woodwork.

It's in Sheerness. Basically an open prison, bleak marshland and people whose family trees don't fork much.

That is one of the best kids bedrooms I’ve seen. Wish I could do that for mine, but there’s barely any room in their tiny box for the basics.

Hideous. Cheap compared to London prices but £££ for the area where it is. Sheppey is grim.

Honestly, if I had that sort of money to spend, I'd probably go for a smaller house which wasn't in such close proximity to its neighbours. It looks really squashed into the plot, for the price.

I shall remember "people whose family trees don't fork much" forever. I am from Kent originally, I have never been to Sheerness.

Ha! I am also from Kent. It was a phrase often used about Thanet before it became more accessible and trendy.

Originally from Kent too (other side, but live elsewhere now) and also heard similar muttered about Thanet, particularly Isle of Sheppey...

It's a very weird place.

@RosesAndHellebores you haven't missed out on much!

The Isle of Sheppey isn't part of Thanet.

No, it isn't! I meant to type 'about Thanet, and also Swale, particularly Isle of Sheppey..'

What's with the kitchen next to the garage? Agree it feels soulless. Maybe it's because there aren't any belongings on show (apart from the racks of clothes) and just the toys in the kids' room - no pictures, rugs, ornaments etc.

It's horrifying I would want to knock down and start again

The whole place has an operating theatre vibe.

Why is the table set for 6, but only has 4 seats?

It looks like a mish mash of several houses - black bathrooms, green ones, bare spaces. The kerb appeal is literally awful. It looks to me like a house owned by a man who is divorced and has the kids over only at certain times. It smacks of TOWIE.

Definitely not my house, just stumbled upon it

Lovely ( expensive ) soft toys in the children's room, shame the Wendy house in the garden is so disappointing - could have done far better :)

Also not enough space in the house for a dressing room, so rails of clothes in the attic.

Vile. All of it. And I just knew it was going to have plastic grass before I even clicked on the garden. Sheppey is a shit hole. Went once only to see if it was as awful as people say. And it is.

Yes! 😆
