Dear Estate Agent,

House hunting is hard. Being first time buyers is hard. Trawling through property websites and estate agents' lists for something suitable is boring and hard.

You are not helping.

No love,

Me

The reason for this letter? I was doing one of my regular hunts for property websites that aren't Rightmove and stumbled across some interesting things. There were the usual houses in terrible areas, and terrible houses in good areas. All fine and dandy, you might think.

Under the cut is what one agent is selling for £120,000 as a bungalow.





I KID YOU NOT. Click the picture for the full details.

SRSLY. IDEK.

It's sweet, isn't it? I mean, I wouldn't want to live there, but it's very cute.

I like the agent who describes it as "detached" best. Because...well, it's only one storey and it's not actually attached to anything, so clearly it must be a detached bungalow.

...it's possible I'm spending too much time on this if I can figure out estate agent logic ;)

It looks like something one might run across in The Wind In the Willows. And when you didn't want to live somewhere any more, you could just cast off and float away!

I suppose there are all kinds of jokes and pointed comments one could make about becoming unmoored ...

;-D

*smiles* Next time we go down to the canal, I'll take some pictures for you. It's lovely down there - yes, very Wind in the Willows. Henley, which was a big part of the inspiration for the book, isn't far away and has a whole museum about the river. It's fascinating stuff!

*grin* I wouldn't mind a holiday on a boat, but I get the feeling living there might get real old, real fast...
