Nice Garden Ornament

Nasher · 13-02-2024, 07:30 PM

This house is for sale near me.

I should add the neighbourhood is a little more 'exclusive' than ours.

Flick through the pictures and see if you can find the Garden ornament I'm rather taken with:

Fffooooookin Ada !!!!!

Glad I don't aspire to that kind of gaff.

I do have three sheds though.
To be perfectly honest I sometimes think I could use a fourth.

Being a bike collector, I need to see more pics of the garages or I’m not really interested.

I wonder how they acquired that, and how was it moved into position?

a bit small and draughty for my taste ,, would rather spend the money on Bikes , drugs guns and sleazy women

That'll be the equivalent of garden gnomes

Way back I knew someone who lived a few plots down from there, huge house and a garage that you could fit about 5 mini's and a pair of jags. Always had nice coffee and biscuits.
I always thought wouldn't like to have to paint that. Then as he was quite comfortable I don't suppose that it would have been any bother.

I'm getting caught on skirting boards, plastering and painting ... Ahh the days when I could afford a sleazy woman

exactly!

I moved house last year. New place has a garage / outbuilding that is just over double the size of the house that goes with it.

Perfect!

Ha thats great shame it prob doesn't work?

Two of my absolute hates leaded light windows and exposed interior beams means I won't be putting an offer on the house though, with or without ornament

The thread wasn't ever supposed to be about the house, but I suppose it was inevitable it would get commented on.

It's not the sort of place I'd want even if I could afford it.
The grounds are far too nicely landscaped and manicured for my liking.
If I had 10 acres it would be far more natural with woodland and habitat.
And even if the grounds were to my taste you'd need to employ several staff to look after them.

The house I'm not that bothered by, but it would also take a lot of looking after.
