I know - it's given me some ideas of what I could do with mine if I ever have the money.

Sorry for late reply to this thread, just come back from holiday. Am interested in the thread re 199 Underhill, We bought the house approximately 1980 ( the memory is fading !) You were correct in your assumption that the houses were at one time owned by one person. He rented it out for a long time and then gave it to his daughter and son in law. This was then sold on ( with a great deal of bitterness). The next purchaser was us (eventually), we had huge problems as the Mortgage company wouldn't give us a mortgage without a covenant. As the original owner was still very bitter about the sale, and was totally uncooperative this presented a huge problem However we eventually managed to persuade him to agree to a covenant. This I think is the covenant you referred to.

I must say we were very happy at 199 it is a brilliant house we were sad to leave but unfortunately we had a growing family. Are the allotment's still out the back?

[indiepanda]

The allotments are still out the back, but the old broken buildings which I assumed were garages have been replaced by two new build houses - eco style wood clad with flat roofs and huge windows.

Two more houses for sales along the row - adjacent halves - looks like I am getting some new neighbours:

Have to say I find it fascinating seeing what others have done with theirs - better way of getting ideas than looking at property / design magazines.

I need to work out which one in the row is the one that has been turned into a 4 bedroom house and get the details of their architect, it looks fab.
