Worst photo of the week

Worst photo of the week!
Why would you use such a glary picture? It doesn’t show the house off very well. Perhaps the estate agent had missed sunset?

terrible photo like search lights shining

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’ve not included the house listing as the house is quite nice and actually this photo really shouldn’t be on there.
Estate agents take note! People don’t like the look of a house that feels like it’s got search lights outside!

Useful to know

I’ve not really used ‘On the Market‘ much, but today I have had a play.

I put in a postcode and did a search. It extended the postcode to within 1/4 mile which wasn’t a problem at all. I assume it did this as there wouldn’t have been any results. A search of the postcode L39 sticks at that area, because there’s plenty of results and it’s a big area.

It reveals a grid display of houses for sale. I played with the filters and was very impressed by it increasing the search radius when I searched for land for sale.  That’s pretty clever I thought!

It seems to default to ‘most recent’ but as I like looking and drooling over big houses that doesn’t work for me! I do understand if you’re actually looking to buy a house you’re probably keeping quite a keen eye on the market and want to see what’s come up since you last searched.

I’m not sure I like it as much as Rightmove but I will certainly play with it a bit more to see what else it can do.

You can indeed draw areas like on Rightmove.

biggest fireplace?

OK, so it’s not a normal house at all, it’s a beautiful tudor manor house.
But with such a huge fireplace!

Purported to have been built in or around 1520, Barsham Manor House has played host over the last five centuries to many guests, from monarchs, knights, politicians and celebrities to latter day rock legends. Its most famous guest was undoubtedly King Henry VIII who stayed here on at least five separate occasions (never with the same wife!) whilst visiting the nearby shrine to our Lady of Walsingham and, whilst The Manor’s construction has always been attributed to Sir Henry Fermor, Henry VIII once referred to it as “my small country palace in Barsham.”
