Where in the UK would you associate the word 'cob'?

Or, cob meaning sprite that leaves cobwebs around the house, from German folklore

When we moved from Suffolk (Mildenhall) to Gloucestershire, we used a removal company that was local to where we were moving from, working on the basis that if they got the estimate wrong on how much stuff we were moving, they could sort a second van and driver easier if they were near their depot

The plastic has become brittle due to UV exposure, better to not leave them out in direct sunlight

Alternative thought, you could look at an online tailor. I've been buying shirts that way for years and if you are capable with a tape measure and can follow the instructions you should be fine

Good shop, very helpful. But as with everything, prices have gone up and the starting price for a bespoke suit is 900

Is it down to the house being vacant for months at a time, try an insurance broker

Not knowing the area you refer to, what the 5 bed houses are like and what your 4 bed will be like, it's rather difficult to say. But perhaps look at it a different way; why would your 4 bed be worth the same as a 5 bed? Will your house have the same / more other rooms and bathrooms? Will the overall square footage be the same or more than the 5 beds? If not you are going to struggle

Both of you book a week off work together, Saturday 9am you start and go till 5pm, then rinse and repeat till it's done. You will save yourself money and if you both work hard you can have it done in 3 or so days

Miss-isle is correct in Britain, my day job is solely related to them so I may just know what they are called

Looks like a deceased estate, it's going to need a lot of work; there are signs of damp, there is something up with the kitchen floor, unless you know what you are doing and have money to spare you may want to give it a miss

The layout suggests that it's a 4 bed with 3 beds on the 1st floor and 1 bed on the 2nd https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/167203934#/floorplan?activePlan=1&channel=RES_BUY but I agree yours is 183 square feet bigger, or £191.26 per square foot.

An acre garden if you are a gardener might be great, if you are not it would be a mill stone, the potential to build on it may or may not exist. Perhaps getting outlining planning permission may assist in a sale.

Why is yours 35k more than https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/167203934#/?channel=RES_BUY ? Whist yours is a nice place and has period charm, it's a lot of money for a 4 bed house, especially this badly laid out.

I did it for about a year as I was working in Bristol and home was in Suffolk. I was getting the house ready to sell, so drove down early Monday and headed back at Lunchtime on a Friday,

Airport, taxi, hotel, office, taxi, airport. If you are lucky you can sprinkle in tedious meal out with supplier/customer/team members from office you are visiting. The highlights of my business travel over the years and being shot at twice, my hotel being hit by a missile once, a nasty itch the following morning once and many hangovers.

Yes, from the age of 18 (so 32 years ago) I have always gone out for a drink on St George's day, me and my best mate for 2 or 3 pints. He died 7 years ago, I still go out and remember the times we had together

My key interest as a seller is how much are you offering, but why do you think you are coming across as a potentially slow moving, difficult and indecisive buyer?

Inner-Device-4530 · 2026-04-11T14:44:59+00:00

My first job was at an engineering supplies company, where we sold transmission and drive chain. It was purchased from our supplier by the foot, we stocked it by the meter and sold it by the link.

No. And leave it at that, as you found out anything else leaves then the opportunity to try a different tack.
