seanmlow Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 ......I used to rent one of those. Go inside - different story - very nice indeed.Try the vile building on DK Hill - which has won shit loads of architectural awards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macroban Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 I watched Altima Court being built. You probably did too. What is the design life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citizenED Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Don't mind the one on DKH myself - or Altima Court - I'd nominate the nondescript block that's just gone up by the CPT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonM Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 The one (still empty long after completion) at the junction of Overhill & Underhill Roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 That new yellow and orange plastic railing that runs down LL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has absolutely no merit whatsoever, either to look at or (see above) to live in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
She'llsurvive Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 what about the one with the great view of the railway line and the empty shop at the bottom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kford Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 That sprawling collection of nonsense called GV15 by ED railway station. Unimaginative and depressing. DKH is pretty good; the wood and dark grey look modern and well-coordinated. Ditto the block opposite - Mary Seacow Court or something - especially when the sun hits the bright brick-red staircase in the evening.NB: 3-bed flat in Overhill/Underhill block: ?390k.

Brendan Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 That's Mary Seacole, as in the Jamaican nurse who cared for soldiers in the Crimean war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruffers Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 It also provides the most entertainment. I don't pass it that often but when I do there's the excitement of wondering if anyone's in it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Bob* Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 The genius of the large, horrible windows is that you can see how crap it is from the outside without even having to go if for a viewing. They could fill it with water and fish - it might make a nice aquarium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keef Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Another vote here for the Underhill/Overhill thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanmlow Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I agree with the ones by the CPT. They are so boring looking - and a 2 bed is 1,900 pcm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonM Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I see Foxton's recently took over the letting/sale of the Overhill/Underhill Carbuncle.....Maybe they'll all move there when they're forced to sell the LL Flagship?>:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AD Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I vote Underhill/Overhill road block. They stick out like a saw thumb and have been empty for a year, no wonder either given the bedrooms are both very small and they were on the market for ?328k. Crazy !!!!!!

Keep it up folks it?s far more entertaining than racism and homophobia which seem to be the flavour of the week at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
