They just need a bucket of horse chestnuts to roast in the fire and Southend will have cracked the FBO market.
On a serous note it does look like someones country cottage with the fireplace, log fire, furniture and decorations and not at all like an FBO. Great place to go though in the festive season if they pipe Last Christmas around the building and put up a Christmas tree.
