Talking Houses on Rightmove - What were they thinking?

Bit of a hobby of mine to browse Rightmove for what I might be able to afford when we make our next move. Sometimes you see a few pictures of a house and just think to yourself why the hell did they do that

Anyway during today's lunchtime perusal I found this gem:



Lets have a wood burner, I know lets stick it in the middle of the room

Disaster waiting to happen especially if your a bit clumsy / drunk like me

Any other wacky stuff anyone has found?

That wood burner doesn't look like it has ever seen a match, the logs in it are to neatly stacked up, it looks more ornament than functional. Plus unless it is a bungalow the chimney goes up through the middle of the house with no support downstairs.

I personally think the wall lights with those stupid lamps look far worse.

My guess is there was a wall there and they took it down and stuck in an RSJ or 2 in there, that's the only possible reason you'd have the wood burner there.
