Personally, I would have gone for the other house. Quiter location, pretty house inside and out with great bones. A redecoration is all it needed. The kitchen was smaller but perfectly formed. It had great work surface, and would be very easy to cook in. I love a galley or U kitchen, as everything is in easy reach. The one they lost needed as much redecoration as the other, so that was a toss up. The render on that one looked dreadful, and left the outside looking drab and dreary compared to the beautiful stone on the other. Hopefully they did find the right house for them and are very happy 20 years on.
@@kentlatimer3706 The vivid colours are easy to deal with. It is only paint. There was nothing that needed a major overhaul to make right. Decor is not a good reason to turn down a good property. Even the best decorated house on the world is going to need freshening up at some point, and the chances of buying a house that is perfectly your taste is slim to nil.
I would run screaming just at those colors. Come on, people, if you're selling a house, just paint the whole inside beige because your taste in cornea-scorching orange or screaming-mimis blue makes it hard for a LOT of potential buyers to see your house as a blank canvas they can write their life story on.
Brass pipes outside the wall right when you walk in the front door. Pipes running down the walls everywhere in every house in England. Don't they CARE how ugly that is? Can't they SEE it? Pipes belong in the walls or hidden. Pipes showing is like wearing your underwear outside your clothes. Stop it.
