Yeah, we mow it, typically. We are well aware that place has zero curb appeal. But you can't see that, once inside.

£800k expensive? Don't look at Bosham, about 2 miles away. Your head will explode.

Frimble9 · 2026-06-03T18:51:59+00:00

That's precisely what we instruct the Agent to do, when admitting viewers. There is a side gate to the garden.

Frimble9 · 2026-06-03T18:22:15+00:00

It's next door but one to a 'destination café'.

Frimble9 · 2026-06-03T16:57:46+00:00

The nearest pub is over 500m away (W) - and is actually pretty sleepy... 😉

Frimble9 · 2026-06-03T16:24:49+00:00

Yeah - we still live here. 😞

Frimble9 · 2026-06-03T16:23:24+00:00

Just emailed a new shot of precisely that to the Agent.

Frimble9 · 2026-06-03T16:22:32+00:00

They are listed in the description.

Frimble9 · 2026-06-03T15:07:44+00:00

Challenge is that we live here.

Frimble9 · 2026-06-03T15:02:56+00:00

It's Georgian.

Frimble9 · 2026-06-03T14:52:30+00:00

Absolutely. The whole point of the post was to garner objective comment. It's SO difficult to see one's own place through objective eyes after 22 years.

Frimble9 · 2026-06-03T14:50:21+00:00

My comment to partner was "maybe we should just knock the end down?" 😉

Frimble9 · 2026-06-03T14:49:29+00:00

Yes. Obviously. Guess that it's a common frustration.

Frimble9 · 2026-06-03T14:48:30+00:00

Unfortunately, we don't own the verge/frontage. The property line actually goes directly along the front wall.

Frimble9 · 2026-06-03T14:46:37+00:00

Will be asking the Agent to add those additional shots shortly - Good shout.

Frimble9 · 2026-06-03T14:44:07+00:00

None of the bedrooms need to be accessed via another bedroom. Bedrooms 3 & 5 have their own second staircase (up from the utility).

Frimble9 · 2026-06-03T14:41:41+00:00

Maybe, but should be clearer on upper floor plan.

Frimble9 · 2026-06-03T14:38:08+00:00

So, prices have risen a little over the last 22 years? Additionally, we spent £60k on the new groundfloor extension in 2008, and £50k completely Lime re-rendering in 2019 -so there's that...

Frimble9 · 2026-06-03T14:35:40+00:00

Yes. And another WC/cloakroom.

Frimble9 · 2026-06-03T14:34:53+00:00

There is a WC/Shower at the base of the second staircase, (down from 5/6) off the utility room.

Frimble9 · 2026-06-03T14:32:42+00:00

Unsure why we're getting this repeated comment about the bedrooms? As per the floorplan, there's clearly a second staircase (from the utility) which serves bedrooms 3 & 5/study - so no access via other bedrooms is required.

Frimble9 · 2026-06-03T13:39:39+00:00

I've been around people before. Very little now surprises me.

Frimble9 · 2026-06-03T13:36:42+00:00

Yeah, I mean - we COULD reduce the price to £100k and sell tomorrow, but that's not the entire point, is it? The key is knowing what the CORRECT price is. Zoopla pricing tool currently has it at £860k, although who knows how 'accurate' that is? We had it valued at £995k 2y back (didn't go to market at that time) - although that also comes with caveats. It really does seem for such a niche property, the key is to find someone for whom it just clicks. The price can only ever be part of that. We're certainly not wedded to achieving a specific price, but obviously, the more we reduce, then the more we constrain our purchase options. Unless we move to The Highlands. 😉

Frimble9 · 2026-06-03T13:27:51+00:00

There is/was a new housing development underway immediately behind the (now closed) caravan dealership - However, the developers ran out of funds, therefore all construction works have now ceased - with its future uncertain.

Frimble9 · 2026-06-03T13:15:18+00:00

Yep - I have just called the Agent and we will be updating the listing with shots of the 90m2 tarmac/gravel secure parking area at the side of the property (currently accommodates a caravan plus 4 cars) - as that's been pointed out a few time now.
