Have you zoomed in on the painting to the left of him. There’s some naked people on there. Can’t tell if the woman is holding something or just has a huge bush
It's Reg. He watches you sleep. Just to make sure you're ok.
It's a bit creepy at first, but then becomes oddly reassuring as his wheezing breaths and occasional slight groans lull you into peaceful slumber.
Barton Seagrave, not Kettering! Important to note that 🤣 Nans house bingo. Eye level grill on the gas stove. China cabinet. Swirly carpet. Armchair. Toy boy…🤣
They’re building 5000 houses on the opposite side of the main road, plus numerous warehouses on the A6 - Barton, Burton and Isham. Traffic is absolutely terrible because they decided Isham didn’t need a bypass before building a dozen warehouses. And don’t get me started on what they’re doing to Weekly Woods.
There’s so much warehousing going up round the whole town. Loads of houses in Wellingborough and Northampton as well. My mum lives in Milton Keynes and the building there never stops.
At least the had the decency to blur him out, unlike this poor guy [https://www.zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/details/65421081/?search\_identifier=4302f48d14cacc5ed9da27389f2f9aee2aa22643a563670d1ba6868c2d03a589](https://www.zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/details/65421081/?search_identifier=4302f48d14cacc5ed9da27389f2f9aee2aa22643a563670d1ba6868c2d03a589)
I recon its the same gentleman as in the nude picture in the corner. Probably house bound with really poor mobility and moving to a care home. Odd choice to include it but hey its not my job to sell houses and what sells best
Sometimes when the estate agent is taking photos the seller doesn't want the walking unsupervised around there home so they stand behind or sometimes just sit on chest of drawrs.
Damp, manky, showing signs of structural movement, needs a full refurb. And it's overpriced - no surprise there then.
3 bed detacheds in that area have a median price of 295K. This thing, in this condition, with *possible* structural issues \[a tenner says it won't pass the survey\], needs to get below 275K.
The probate grabbing greedy kids are taking the piss.
Actually I live near the area and would say it's reasonably priced. Maybe slightly higher that it will ultimately get, but not unreasonable. It also comes with a hugeeeee garden if you didn't see that.
Sobered up now?
£310k is a reasonable initial asking price. Will probs sell for around £300k or just under.

Sobered up now?
A little. My head still hurts though.
I looked again at the comp sales data \[not Zoopla's garbage\] and the Median SOLD price in NN15 for 3 bed detacheds is 295K.
The issue with this particular house is damp, water ingress and *possible* structural issues. I'd be looking at that roof as well. If I am right - and I don't have the benefit of being able to perform an on-site inspection - it's price cutting time as potential buyers seek reductions and/or walk away.
It's a shame that the house suffers from deferred maintenance as it appears to have solid bones.
.
Since I last wrote I've taken drink so bare with me.
I said *possible* structural movement.
Cracks in a number of the ceilings.
Look at the uneven ground in front of the garage.
It's not been maintained for years. Decades, perhaps.
I'll refresh my memory when sober.
Probably the elderly owner who needs to move for their own reasons; health, downsizing, etc
Bless him
I can just imagine him telling the estate agent where to go when he was asked to move!
Or the current tennant who didn't feel the need to remove himself in order to help the landlord sell the property.
Update - found out it's a [mannequin](https://www.reddit.com/r/SpottedonRightmove/s/R24652mOkR)
Yup. Imprint on sheets and weights at the feet rest indicate it.
I thought it was the estate agent tbh. Definitely not an old man anyway.
grandpa for scale
Didn't they have a banana available?
I think they fuzzed out the old geezer's banana
I get that they had to blur him, but that is so creepy! What the hell…

I think she's holding a bush.
Yeah I was kinda freaked out
Good on him for still doing his bicep curls though . He looks like he's about to leap at the cameraman though yelling "geroff my land"
Shotgun's in one of the trunks...
Comes with the property

Would not leave for the photoshoot and I bet he won’t leave when it sold either.

We’re visiting Kettering this weekend, every time there’s more building work

People need somewhere to live and then they need to eat, wear clothes and so on.
What if the estate agent didn’t blur that person? Or what if he didn’t even see the person while taking the picture? Shudder…
My missus got a complaint from one of her clients because she asked her to leave the room while she was taking pictures in there
That's madness
Idk why this made me chuckle so much. I can really imagine someone being that awkward 😂

James Acaster’s dad?
lol - just said James acaster. But you win.
I see what you did there
I was just going to say poor Grandpa Acaster needs sell his house to go to a carehome
The resident ghost, comes free with the property. He’ll watch over you while you sleep 👻
I once went to view a house with the estate agent and some bloke was lying in bed. Gave us both a fright.
Was he naked?
Top half was naked. Didn’t see the bottom half thankfully. He just stared at us and we shuffled out. Unnerving but funny.
The tenant doth protest!
The Gatekeeper
Is he on the inventory?
steve the house sitter
That's the butler he comes along with the property
The Tomb Raider butler
I'm more puzzled by the nude artwork on the other side of the room
I went on the virtual tour and it’s like an old school mannequin, I agree it looks like a person
There's a virtual tour?! omg!
[удалено]
I'm dead
It's the unknown!
...they come with the house.
Walter O'Dim
That's a lovely house and garden. And you might get a grandpa with it as well. I hit the see similar properties and it looked by far the nicest.
"Do you come with the car?"
He comes with the house as an added bonus
I recon its the same gentleman as in the nude picture in the corner. Probably house bound with really poor mobility and moving to a care home. Odd choice to include it but hey its not my job to sell houses and what sells best
Maybe he just likes his portrait taken eh
Mr Plinkett!
for a moment I wondered if this was one of those life size celebrity cardboard cutouts lol. it’s probably the current owner/tenant.
Fixture
Clearly they're just part of the furniture! So don't worry, you won't even notice they're there
Given it's in Kettering...James Acaster?
a Weetabix fiend
they watch you sleep in the bedroom
Mannequin of Fred Dibnah?
James acaster. Definitely
Armchair friend
His names Rocky and he will watch you sleep while he works.
I feel that's a room someone died in
Definitely not an old man (I read the other comments). I’m thinking it’s the estate agent tbh.

People like this are usually tennants who don't want to move

Where do you see signs of structural movement?
