This house was built around 1870 and I think basically predated the road it was eventually on.
Maybe it was a problem of names and being in Worcestershire.
Where is @crimsondonkey moving to again? 
Same here. Except we donât have street name either.

Clearly there are exceptions, however, the crime is electing to name a house.
Albeit, I submit that

That looks worryingly nice - where is the undersized garage to mock, or decrepit collection of outbuildings requiring an endless flow of cash? Must try harder

Donât worry, all the faults, foibles and opportunities to take the piss will reveal themselves in the fullness of time 
To begin with there is a cellar basement area underneath the house that you can see from the garden view which could provide much potential for disaster and folly.

Good luck with Royal Mail (and every post code look up routine on the internet) and insurance company and bank with that one.
Worst of all Waitrose wonât be able to deliver your groceries
Some post codes just have house names such as ours here -no road names either - So it does happen.
Not sure how easy it is to get no51 changed to âwearenotjustanumberâ though.
Houses which have always had names is very different to changing it from a number to a name

The Land Registry might like a word too
If your house has a number now, then it has it forever, if you decide to change the number to a name, like, for instance Hyena Newel House, be prepared for a postie who canât be arsed remembering, or is an inverted snob, and there are lots of them, or just someone who is new to the duty, to return your stuff to sender marked âNo Such Addressâ.
When I had to deal with complaints, I got several from someone who had named their house, a recent-ish bog standard Redrow type 3 bed box on an estate, to âRamsharnokâ (Iâll not insult you by telling you why), and had everything addressed to the name, omitting the number. Their postie used to cross out the name and put, in large numerals, the proper number.
It used to drive them to fucking distraction aand they were on a complete loser by complaining because the postie just used to say he was correcting the address.

They donât now (cos we donât use them).
Perhaps we should just name it âNo Such Addressâ 
I thought any twat pompous enough to get a name for their house would probably use Waitrose.
I stand corrected
