I've been looking through online estate agents around South Wales for houses. Apart from being floored by the prices, even for god-awful cackholes in horrid dirty places, I've been highly amused by the sales pitch. For example, one house "benefits from electricity," whilst another had "light." My favorite was one that listed as one of its rooms "outside." But, then I found this beauty - is this the most horrendous thing you've ever seen? And for 75 THOUSAND pounds!!!!!

Who would live in a house that looks like a bloody pillbox? Put a couple of machine guns in the slits and you've got something that would not look out of place at Omaha Beach.

The inside shots remind me of my old flat in the UK. I went back to it to clear it out a few years ago after I sold it and was shocked at how small it actually was.
Orrible ..... house has no charm or kerb appeal . third bedroom is more the size of a bathroom or garden shed .

Would be a good investment t for contracting out to a movie company for use as a site for the making of a horror flik
