The kitchen has an interesting boiler control panel too

The floor plan and the views taken of the park from inside the

The floor plan show windows facing North (over the park) and

I thought the english system was effectively the same. You ask

Yes, the seller is not bound to accept the highest, or any, offer.

When I worked in an estate agent's office, we had the situation that we really, really, wanted the lower offer to win (as we were handling the buyer's mortgage, which would bring us thousands more in commission than we got through the property sale).

Remember though that in the Scottish system the offer is binding on the buyer immediately it is accepted without qualification by the seller, so the buyer had better have his mortgage already sorted out. When I bought, it was just over three weeks to do the conveyance from offer to moving in.

The workshop is behind the kitchen so the gauge and taps likely relate
to the boiler.

The small bank could be connectors for audio distribution.
Not sure what else they could be, maybe fuses but no switch in sight.

Although there appears to be a drip jar underneath one of the taps.

For a workshop there seems to be quite a lack of mains sockets. Some kind
of compact mains outlets?
Slightly clearer photo he

Right side a bank of outlets, left side a bank of switches?
Look a bit like US power outlets, but with a central flat pin, slightly
offset.

I don't see any sockets in the other photos that would be audio outlets.

The boiler appears to have 8 toggle switches, 5 indicator lamps and 2 dials.
https://lc.zoocdn.com/f1d31b5c28032b...3469a76875.jpg
Controls to radiator valves perhaps?

There's a virtual tour you can see without signing up:

But it doesn't show the workshop. It appears the most 'tech' in the place
is a built in radio in the living room.

Shilling categories

The shilling categories were based on the invoice price per hogshead (54
imperial gallons (250 L)) during the late 19th century. The stronger or
better quality beers paid more beer duty and therefore cost more. Light
beers might be in the range 42/- to 48/- (42-48 shilling), Younger's
brewery produced heavy beers ranging from 80/- to 160/-.[15] The same
shilling designation was used for beer of different types. Usher's, for
example, in 1914 brewed both a 60/- (60 shilling) Mild and a 60/- Pale
Ale.[16] In 1909 Maclay brewed a 54/- Pale Ale and a 54/- Stout.[17] In
1954 Steel Coulson were still producing both a 60/- Edinburgh Ale and a
60/- Brown Ale on draught, both with a gravity of 1030; the third
draught beer was 70/- P.X.A. at 1034.[18] By the 1950s customers would
ask for a strength of beer by names such as "heavy" and "export", rather
than shillings, these two terms are still widely used in Scotland. Even
though the practice of classifying beers by the shilling price was not
specific to Scotland, during the cask ale revival in the 1970s Scottish
brewers resurrected the shilling names to differentiate between keg and
cask versions of the same beers. This differentiation has now been lost.
An Edinburgh 90 shilling label

While the shilling names were never pinned down to exact strength
ranges, and Scottish brewers today produce beers under the shilling
names in a variety of strength

Apparently a previous occupant had installed a lathe in the sitting room,

I don't think there's been much done to that flat decor wise, and
probably electrics and plumbing, since the 70s. There's a fireplace
that dates from the 40s or 50s.

"Offers over" means "We really don't want less than this, but if we
don't get any offers, we'll (have to) reduce the price." As others
have said here, I'd normally expect it to go for much more than
£620,000, but with Covid19 around, who knows?
