That house seems rather nice actually.<BR/><BR/>One final point when looking for a new house, if the photo shows a small room, things are not good as estate agents photos show rooms a good deal larger than their true size. Therefore a small looking room in an estate agent's brochure will be, in reality, the size of a small cupboard.
