This has some interesting carpets and “original” Victorian cast iron radiators so gonna take a few quid to sort out. It’s also class c listed so whatever you think it’s going to cost, double it and add a random number of your choice. Beautiful house though.

Almost tasteful interior, external rendering that will tear your retinas off.

Upkeep even more ruinous than the current Sodders Towers.
Actually that place actually has a tower-ish thingy so you could actually call it that.

Nowt wrong with that.
Checking for £2m in the shed
Surely a bit more to build the Spa conversion?
Ah, yeah, there is that.
Latest in ‘Exiting world of old houses’, we had regular water leaks from two 1st floor windows since we moved in, when it was particularly wet and windy, previous builders did some remedial works to what they thought was the cause while doing the roof. Did not fix the issue.
This South side of the house was particularly over grown when we moved in and was by far the worst condiditon with a lot of paint peeled off on the rock faced concrete bricks and the lintel render cracked. Now the paint has all been taken off and re-painted with a modern breathable product and investigation into the leaking windows uncovered that the lintels are an RAAC product, and likely cast in situe hence the ‘interesting’ rebar, one of them even had an old knife in it…
So a couple of weeks later and 3x 1st floor window and 1x ground floor window & door lintels all replaced. We know the others in the house need doing at some point although all are in far better condition than this set with no cracks. And yes, that is a Chrysotile Asbestos tile on the left, which we also had professionally removed along with another on the right. Fortunately they were only in this door lintel rather than above the windows.
The odd one is we believe the house is from the mid-1930s, going by archived maps and parish/census registers but I don’t think RAAC was really in use until the 50s at least. We do know the house has been played around with in the past, being a doctors surgery for at least 30-years into the 70s. The first recorded owner (we can find, who was a doctor) built the house next door in 1965 and then moved into it. The house was seemingly then owned but two seperate doctors until the 80s. It’s facinating but finding more exact history and layout of the house pre 1970s (earliest planning records) is proving difficult!

My younger brother went to that school, I’ll have to ask if he remembers that particular building &/or any associated weirdness. He had an interesting time there.

Nice bit of estate agent understatement:
Overall, the property needs an integral intervention. In fact, although some environments preserve the historical beauty and the traces of the noble origins, the systems, the fixtures and the bathrooms must be modernized. The roof and some floors need to be completely redone.
