    “There are a number of issues that I think need to be addressed with this property.”

    On the positive side, the interior of the house is spacious and pleasant and as described and shown in the details. The garden is most certainly not. It is scruffy, unkempt, and generally in need of considerable maintenance. The garden table and chairs are dreadful, they either need replacing or sanding down and upgrading. Some of the chairs were broken and the patio area is overgrown with weeds. The owners had not even bothered to cut the grass prior to our arrival and the photos on the ...

    On the positive side, the interior of the house is spacious and pleasant and as described and shown in the details. The garden is most certainly not. It is scruffy, unkempt, and generally in need of considerable maintenance. The garden table and chairs are dreadful, they either need replacing or sanding down and upgrading. Some of the chairs were broken and the patio area is overgrown with weeds. The owners had not even bothered to cut the grass prior to our arrival and the photos on the website bear no resemblance to how the outside space actually looks. The steps to the garden area are covered in moss and debris and need cleaning and power washing. The garden itself is scruffy and the fence is covered in weeds and nettles. Even some strimming would have improved the look. Inside, the downstairs bedroom has evidence of damp and mould on the walls and there are areas where paint has peeled and re-painting is needed. The frontage of the property is also scruffy and uninviting, access to the road is dangerous due to overhanging and uncut hedging, you really take your life in your hands exiting the property onto the road. The house needs better signage, it is difficult to find and apart from a rusty milk churn at the side of the road, it is easy to miss, as indeed we did! All in all, a property that needs money and time spending on it to bring it up the advertised standards and prices charged. I have taken numerous photos to evidence all the points I have made and am happy to share with you if required.
