In response to the sluggish UK property market, sales reps at Brighton-based estate agents Bonett's have been sent on a poetry workshop. The aim was "to learn how to reinvent space and avoid the cliches". The team were given a property description and asked to turn it into something more poetic. Here are a few of the best lines:
The first thing you eye is the sea meeting the sky; like old comrades they share a warm embrace.
Translation Direct sea views.
Without feeling lonely, the room has an echo.
Translation Spacious accommodation.
The windows lead out on to the terrace, taking you above and beyond, with room to breathe and take in the world.
Translation Large balcony.
The road noise scurries by like a gentle sea breeze.
Translation Good location.
Green like the colour of grass that has just two weeks rain,
Gold like the colour of the Sahara desert.
Translation Yellow and green interiors.
A murmuring whisper – is it cars or just the waves?
Translation Seafront flat.
