I got dogs abuse from an estate agent for going with another estate agent instead of her. Wasted her time and wouldn't get what they were looking for apparently. I got more. Awful woman who felt entitled to list the property.
I don't understand how they can get away with being rude, hardly like there js a shortage of them is jt?!

Mary Berry’s house:


Not doxxing her it was in the article I read 😜
Great find!

It’s a pretty house but rather cold in a modern way and un-cosy inside which surprises me.

That grass tennis court has had some love and attention!

That view 😍

It's a spectacular place to live, but you're at the mercy of the Bealach na Ba in winter (the shortest road in to get to it):

And in summer it gets flooded with tourists doing the North Coast 500, the 'main' road is right in front of that house.

I’m coming out in hives at the idea of being that remote. I’ve lived relatively rurally but that is something else (and I’m back near a city again). There are good views with facilities attached!

You can get similar views in the Greenock area with the benefit of being a hop, skip and jump to Glasgow

There's houses further up the hill with views that are just jaw dropping, too, if you don't want to be right by the water (and road). Same with Gourock, where you also have this -

The difference in estate agent photos always surprises me. When we sold ours we had one estate agent assure us they had professional photographers come and do the photos and not just them pointing their disposable Kodak about the place. I really took that for granted as all the places round here are like that - and they literally come and help to stage the rooms to get the best photos.

that place looks tiny and dark but the floor plan shows the rooms are actually quite big - goes to show the difference between a good photographer and the other end of the scale!

Oh dear Gods, someone loves their floral wallpapers!


Also am hooting at the description: " This is more than a home; it's an experience, an opportunity to embrace the unmatched allure of Sydney House, Lairg. "

The flowery wallpaper matches the flowery prose . Estate Agent is a thwarted writer of overblown romantic novels. Or Barbara Cartlands ghost writer.

Do you ever think the estate agents hate the vendor? Some of the photos I’ve seen lately are awful.

Anyway, it’s nice to know that if you stand in the office of this house you can see the toilet down the hall?
What gets me is when people don't tidy up or move things that are clearly out of place?

I saw a house the other day that had a washing basket of clean washing (it'd all been folded) on the bed in the master bedroom. Every other piece of furniture, the floor, the cabinets etc. was very minimal and immaculate. And another that had a dirty mug and plate on the counter of an otherwise beautifully clean kitchen - why wasn't it put in the sink before the photos were taken? Why wouldn't you put that washing basket in the airing cupboard, or put it away before the EA came round? Or as the EA, just move it behind you when taking the picture?

Stunning! Never mind the wallpaper though. For 500k I could cope - for comparison this is what 500k gets in my (rough) area - https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/140877137#/?channel=RES_BUY

I have very fond memories of Portishead, I grew up in Bristol :) Where £500k would just about buy you a flat in Clifton now.
