That's a beauty. Love the floating staircase and the mid-century carpets.

I like it, but I can't work out whether the period style has been lovingly maintained, or if they just moved in during the 60s, never bothered doing any renovations and stayed their whole lives. I suspect the latter, as some of the built-in furniture looks knackered, and there's no way any sane person below the age of 80 could really live with that kitchen or bathroom.


Regardless, it's sitting on a v large plot of land for London, and I suspect that's why they're asking 2 million.

Size and location. It's an eyesore from the front but it's a mansion by ED standards.

Not sure about that... it's only 1580 sq ft. Some local terraced houses are a similar size after the usual extensions. It's different because it's detached and has a v large garden.


In fact I wonder if it's priced with a view to a developer knocking it down.

Yes it's the size of the land that really matters. The garden is enormous.

The owner who died last year was well into his 9O's and I guess he may well have been the first occupant. It must have been cutting edge design when it was built however the rooms are small and the windows are really pokey.


It is semi-detached which detracts from its value but (as a hobbyist and handyman) what I really like is the 35 foot garage. What couldn't one do with a space like that! Enough for both a car and a full blown workshop.

      Recommendation - Silvano - Driving Instructor

      By cjchung · Posted

      I'd also recommend Silvano for anyone in the area looking to learn automatic, having just passed first time with 5 minors. He's a very patient teacher and ensured I learned how to drive safely above all.

      Idle cricket musing

      By David Peckham · Posted

      You don't need to do the research. I had to know the numbers as a TV buyer. I analysed the potential advertising revenue and Channel Four didn't cover their costs. They had some nice 'Channel Four' signs when someone hit the ropes but, In all honesty, a lot a potential revenue was lost because most old knackers were pissed off because they couldn't perve at Carol Vorderman on 'Countdown'.       Sorry, cross-post. I was replying to Malumbu. Give me a minute, if you will. I listened to the first two sessions (today) on TMS and popped down to the pub for the evening one.   I do miss the days of Peter West, Richie Benaud and Tom Graveney on BBC2.   But, the BBC are at least putting on 'Today At The Test' on at around 7pm instead of after midnight.   And it was on the 10pm news.

      Idle cricket musing

      By Peckhamgatecrasher · Posted

      "PGC, do you reckon this 'Anderson -Tendulkar' series could make Tests a bit more interesting to the wider word?" Alas no. Until it comes back to terrestial telly, I think it will always suffer from elitism(?).  Excepting The Guardian, cricket is barely mentioned in other press. I am fortunate in that my daughter has just added me to her subscription on NOW TV. It has been great to watch this test; it really could have gone either way, eariler in the day, which always makes it more exciting. The only bugbear is that I am a TMS afficianado, and they are about eight deliveries ahead of the tv! I thought Tongue was excellent in mopping up the tailenders, and Duckett was a delight to watch. Bumrah and Jadeja were brilliant to see. I'm sure the Edgbaston crowd will have tremendous supporters for both sides. PS: I don't think Jofra will be back on the strength of one county wicket.
