With a kitchen that resembles a vagina that's spent the weekend entertaining a football club and a bar over the driveway to prevent family from bringing their caravans.

A bizarre location to put a house of that design too, right in the middle of a village, overlooked on several sides, built right up to the side of the fishing shop next door, and rough ground to the back which could be built on at any moment. You'd think that in that area you could find a larger plot on the outskirts for not huge money.

That's superb. Measure the width of the wall perfectly but forget all about the sloping ceiling! We've all ballsed up doing things like that but it takes a real pro to just say 'fk it, I'm not going back to the shop!' rofl

The entire place does reek of the self-builder who can't think in three dimensions.

Clearly a bunch of work to do, but the eventual cost will be miles over 45K

The property, built in 2002 and extended in 2006, holds historical relevance as the former site of Kings Cinema.

I'm surprised they don't do it with those "PEADO" houses.

"The front of the property benefits from colourful artwork contributed to by people from the local area. It commemorates a former occupier of the property, Mr Jes North, a loveable rogue who was recently sentenced to life imprisonment"

To be fair, that's mainly the occupier's junk and an unkempt exterior. It would probably clean up easily and well. It's messy, but clean.
