As a little follow-up to Mrs Malaprop's magisterial
post on estate agent's English. I would like to cast two more words into the furnace.
This two bedroom ground floor flat is located on a highly desirable residential street
The property is situated in a quiet, very sought after location [why so quiet if so sought?]
The property is situated on one of Hendon's most exclusive roads [this is far funnier if you know Hendon]
A mid terrace character property located in the Rutland market town of Uppingham
I tremble to think what a "character property" is. I could have added
set to this list, but I did not. I did not. The OED spends longer on
set than on any other entry, and frankly the word terrifies me. Look. I took a photograph.
Terrifying
