They've done some odd virtual renovation on the kitchen and lounge photos. 

Interesting.

I like the workshop / shed and woodstore. I think I have seen that place on YouTube.

I once stayed at some lovely (to me) digs up Bicester way that was by a canal, they'd bought it off the canal authority and turned it into a little canalside location.  Not posh but my sort of place, real coal fire/woodburner to myself etc

Too close to the water for my liking and if it sprung a leak who fixes it? 

I think id prefer this former railway station complete with track

Right Sarah you have convinced me. I would love to live there. 

My next problem; how to find the thick end of a million quid.

They won't sell it to you unless you're really into canals according to that video.

Having to walk through one bedroom to get to another is just a tad, ummm, 'weird', no?!

By definition, it’s a corridor, not a bedroom.

Well, that's alright then!

It kinda reminded me of that weird recurring dream a lot of people have (self included lol) of living in a really shitty house with no privacy and inadequate toilet facilities!

I'm not saying the house is shitty as such. A lot of it seems nice enough. The decor is, uh, questionable in some rooms, but fine in others.

The garden is certainly very good.

I just really struggle to see who could possibly want to buy it - and who would have the necessary funds?

This is going to be on the market a long, long time I think!

What's with the meat hook on the beam in the bedroom? Weird choice of decor.

I get those! Had one just last night. Didn't know it was a common thing. Does it mean anything?

I also have a related similar one where I am wandering around a hotel or shopping mall looking for a toilet but can't find one, or it is broken, or too dirty to use. That dream means I want a wee in real life and I suppose the dream is preventing me wetting my jamas if it let me find a working toilet.

Years back, when house prices were reasonable, my parents had their pick of houses and took us round an old rectrory, a  farm, a big house by the sea (bought that one), a big detached Georgian house, and a modern house in a rural setting built into a sloping bank of land and designed by the architect who was living in it.

It all looked great and modern until we came to the three children's bedrooms.

They were fairly small, adjacent to each other and on the front left ground floor.

Those weren't the main problems though.

It was that there was no corridor alongside them so to enter the centre of the house from the far bedroom you had to walk through the other two bedrooms.

I assume that this particular architect failed his exams.

Yes - I've had the same one many times too. Sometimes I'm wandering around half naked as well - as in just a shirt and boxer shorts lol.

I did run this through a couple of the 'dream analysers' on the web, they all said the same thing, which went along the lines of 'this is very common and shows insecurity/fear of a long-held secret(s) being revealed/ money worries/ self-doubt' you know the deal, I'm sure - covers just about anyone!

This is a late reply, sorry for that - reason being I had an extremely vivid dream last night which left me a bit shaken up. Not worth starting a separate thread over, but even , dreams like that one have always proven to be prophetic with me, it wasn't pretty. Not just on a personal level either, this was global.
