Bob Buzzard Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I was wondering if I have the most extended house in ED? I have: full loft conversion with ensuite; dug out/tanked cellar that you can fully stand up in and a toilet there with a macerator (can still get blocked with logs though); bay windows extended; kitchen extended into garden with massive bi-fold sliding doors; passageway/side-return extended into; outside wooden building with heating and gym equipment/office; original stainedglass restored on front door and transom window; and neighbours' gardens annexed. Plus I can park all our cars in the front garden.

malumbu Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Bob, is this a facetious thread? If not it is probably the most wonky thread I've ever seen on the forum. And the bar is pretty high. I'm sure others can express that more eloquently. I can of course quote other places with pretty bad over- development. And I am sure those struggling to buy or rent, particularly the young, will find this thread perverse.

I gave the elderly neighbours enough money to move to Nunhead, and then put in a doorway in the hallway between the two house, so now it's like one house.

malumbu Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 You remind me of the unfunny Harry Enfield sketch with the awful West Midlands accent (that makes the Archers seem authentic) and the catch phrase that didn't catch on "I'm considerably richer than you"Enjoy Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/263101-have-i-got-the-most-extended-house-in-ed/#findComment-1450570 Share on other sites More sharing options...

malumbu Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I had a house in Nottingham once with a cellar that was bigger than the footprint of the house - perhaps it went into some old mine workings. I explored it a little and it went from hard flooring to earth. I felt a little like Steve Blackshall.It probably went into the cellar of the house behind but I was freaked out so blocked it up after the hard flooring with breeze blocks.
