Love that :heart_eyes:

I guessed Ā£1.2m so at Ā£1.35m I’m feeling pretty smug.

Also wondering table ID.

Ercol :wink:

That’s a fab house, love the minstrels gallery. Would be amazing for big parties.

Stuff of dreams, appeals to me more than a brand new slick modern remake, something so much more convincing about buildings of this era…less bling, more integrity.

The house next door to me on Ham Common has been sold for £15m. The last owner was Russian Mafia (allegedly). All the gates and railings were reinforced with steel plates now thankfully removed.

At the other end of the twitter scale…

I do admire that they have done it properly with gravel boards and concrete posts, at least…

The architect responsible for that drab mess should shoot himself.

I wonder how many of those type of estates are basically cut and paste jobs. I suspect most, and certainly not something I would choose. However I suspect in many parts of the country its basically the only options people have on the first or second rung of the terrible UK property ladder.

That’s a very depressing state of affairs.

Unfortunately there won’t be an architect anywhere near that kind of mass housing development. Housebuilders won’t pay the fees, unless it’s an upmarket development. Just a cut and paste of their own house types that are kept on file and dropped on a site plan by a layout designer, normally in-house (pardon the pun).

That explains why such a horrific carbuncle came to be built.

Build down to a price.

Also why every new build I went to see last year when I was house hunting ā€˜was specifically designed for modern open plan living’

Which means no internal walls downstairs which saves a few more quid but is a pain to live in with a family who might not want to to do the same thing in the same space at the same time.
