[Pootles2010]

Do you mean the play kitchen?

[FunnysInLaJardin]

a childs play kitchen? A weird drinks cabinet? An even odder music centre type thing?

[HeadFairy]

It's a play kitchen surely? a bit of a swanky one at that

[DewDr0p]

Def a play kitchen

[FunnysInLaJardin]

more to the point £580k for that

[monkeyfacegrace]

Yep kids play kitchen.

[TaggieCampbellBlack]

How big is the cot? Their baby must be ginormous.

[Oreocrumbs]

It is this.

at my extensive knowledge of kidkraft kitchens. This is what having children did to me. 5 years ago I could have identified the make, model and price of a real kitchen at one glance. Now it is children's kitchens .

[FlouncingMintyy]

Well done Oreo! You must be so proud.

You see I looked at it and looked at it and thought "No ... no ... surely they haven't made a child's play kitchen the focal point of the room when they are trying to persuade someone to pay almost £600,000 for that fairly ordinary house in a fairly ordinary outer London suburb."

But seems they have .

Do you think it is Granny and Grandad's house? There don't seem to be any other toys about the place.

[Oreocrumbs]

I'm not sure . It has a bit of a rental house look of it I thought.

Apart from the cot and the toy kitchen, there doesn't seem to be much of anything, let alone toys.

If I was trying to make £270K on what I paid I would have put more effort into the staging!

[FlouncingMintyy]

Oooooh you looked up what they paid! When was that then?

Tbh I take all Kinleigh Folkard valuations with a pinch of salt. They tend to over-value by miles.

It was back in 2005 so the market did rise a lot after that. No idea of the local market though, I'm at the other end of the country.

Frightening what you can market a house like that for in the area!
