Business at the front, party at the back.
I have looked it over a few times and am still confused about everything stuffed in the back garden - an extension for tiny pottery houses, a converted bathyscaphe, a fountain that looks like it came from a funfair and a tree house. All that before you get to the loft conversion that has the feel of a small caravan (we used to go on holiday in a Sprite). 🤷♂️

“Honey, you’ll never believe the deal I just got for some particle board!”
Looks like the estate agent wasn’t brave enough to create a floorplan
That photo gallery really is the gift that keeps on giving.
“Renovated to the highest standard”. Not my highest standard, that’s for sure. I’m not a fan of the chipboard look.
it boasts hand-crafted structures
Yeah, no kidding!
What’s a “snug” in this context? When it listed it as a feature, my American brain thought it was an adjective but clearly they mean a type of room.
A small room to be snug in
Looks quite bizarre but fun

Works for me. Here it is on the Internet Archive.
Even got that error there.
Tried it in both Firefox and a Chromium browser.
The earlier capture (the one I did) still works. I’ve added the link to the original post.
The link works! Also, “open the pod bay doors please, HAL.”
(And would it have killed them to at least paint the plywood?)
Apparently it would.
That’s also down.
The Internet Archive has two captures - the earlier one is the one I grabbed and still works.
Thanks, that worked. I actually think that’s a really cool and unique house. I like a lot of what they did there.
Those pictures are so deep fried that some of them are difficult to look at. Whomever took those needs to chill out with the sliders.
What’s up with the TV in the bedroom? It looks like it’s about twice as wide as a normal TV. Do they make ultrawide TVs, or are they committing some sort of fuckery with this photography, stretching the room out to make it look larger?
I get the same error on there as well 😕
Works for me now. Seems like a zany place, kind of fun tho.
I’m getting the same error.
Woah, I tried again and now I get the error. Maybe their server’s being overloaded or something.
Well I’m glad the error is happening today because I was literally just using that site yesterday. Didn’t end up needing it yet, but still…
Oh that’s right! You can go check out these houses irl! How is it over there? Have they sold your data to Palantir yet?
Haven’t moved quite yet. We’re leaving on Monday evening, so I have just enough time to see the rapist turn America into a Fascist Dictatorship from the inside.
We pushed the schedule up because we’re worried that when he starts mass deportations, people who are even here legally will freak the fuck out and grab the next plane out of the country and I won’t be able to get a ticket. Also we think it will be much easier for me to find someone willing to hire me from within the UK and with a UK phone number.
Maybe all the worrying will be for nothing. One of my elderly British relatives, who is not conservative, said I have Trump phobia. Maybe so. Maybe this is all panicking for nothing. Or maybe I’m saving my daughter from kristalnacht. I don’t feel like it’s worth gambling if I don’t have to.
Anyway, we’re going to end up in a VRBO in Blackburn, Lancashire for a month while I look for work, so I guess I’ll know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall.

I remember an American postgrad I was teaching talking with horror about George W. Bush (the president at the time), and he seems positively cuddly compared to Trump. It may all be bluster, but it could be a Handmaid’s Tale prequel and I don’t think I’d want to roll the dice on it.

You are only about an hour away, so if you get in a pickle let me know.
It’s well located for Manchester, Liverpool (a current hotbed of the creative industries) and Leeds. You’ll find the cost of living is cheaper and the people friendlier Up North. Good luck. 🤞
It doesn’t mean you have a phobia, just: this is a great excuse to see another part of the world, give your kid a bit more perspective, get in touch with your heritage, etc.
Just make sure you catch that flight!
