Translating Estate Agent Bullshit

by James

Estate agents seem to have a deep desire to bullshit about everything. Here’s the description for a property that I picked at random:

A two bedroom semi-detached cottage superbly refurbished throughout.

Old, but with new paint. Property was, until recently, a barn.

The property offers attractive and comfortable openplan living

The property is small. There is a TV in the kitchen, because the TV room is the kitchen.

Set within private parkland with views over the surrounding countryside.

No private garden (check out the photo).

Excellent access to M4

Warning! Road noise. Bring ear plugs.
