"East Dulwich skyline has been creatively enhanced" ???

[Bony Fido]

According to Wooster and Stock estate agents :-

"Thanks to Bespoke Homes, the local skyline has been creatively enhanced with the advent of this progressive building on the East Dulwich/Camberwell borders" See: http://www.woosterstock.co.uk/DetailLet.php?id=348

Any votes in favour?

This makes the rate at which estate agents' offices are closing seem all too slow.

[pablogrande]

Estate agents talk shite shocka

[Mark]

"An enviable array of bars and restaurants on Lord-hip Lane"

see what they've done there? They truly are masters of words and stuff.

[Brendan]

They should introduce an act of parliament banning estate agents from using adjectives.

I'm liking the use of chicken wire to house the pots and pans.

Allows storage of kitchen essentials without blocking the only source of natural light. Feels like you're in prison. Nice.

[Ant]

I'm not entirely convinced of the benefit of the downstairs loo in such a small property. Bit of a waste of space perhaps.

[ThoseWereTheDays]

That's actually hilarious!

[????]

What exactly is a "State of the art bench"? Does anyone know?

[*Bob*]

I actually quite like W&S.

If you're going to write a load of Estate Agents guff then at least make it entertaining.. and at least they get the photos right as well.

[Brendan]

Actually after reading that properly I would like to change my earlier comment to say: "They should introduce an act of parliament banning estate agents from using adjectives and adverbs."

Although I did get quite an amusing image of the courtyard enjoying the state-of-the-art bench.

[Ant]

Why is it state of the art? Is it because it's interactive - i.e. you can sit on it?

[Moos]

Perhaps a state-of-the-art bench is one which reduces your art to a state after you've sat on it.

[Brendan]

Perhaps it is just designed to inspire conversation on the current state of the arts.

[Jeremy]

I always like the "Architect Designed" bit... as if most buildings aren't designed by architects.

[clive3300]

That building is awful. What's with the green plastic looking side facing the hill.

[Moos]

Brendan, nice.

Like this one?

Hambling's A Conversation With Oscar Wilde

[Jah Lush]

More like a hideous carbuncle on the skyline. Dull and uninspiring. It has a what I'd think a modern concentration camp would look like. Council flat chic.

[Brendan]

The irony being that the build quality of 1960?s style council housing is much better than these ?modern luxury apartments?.

I?ve lived in both.

[citizenED]

But, Jah, council flats will be the next big thing - now that the Tories are back in charge. Actually I quite like that block - and it has stunning panoramic views of sarf London.

[Brendan]

So do the battle ships.

We say: while a steel mesh cage hangs from the ceiling providing extra storage

We mean: we forgot to design any kitchen storage space and these were going cheap from a pet store

We say: The ceiling is part exposed concrete from the build process and part finished in plaster, lending some post-modern faculties

We mean: We ran out of money towards the end and couldn't pay a plasterer to finish the job properly

We say: A healthy sized larder cupboard is next door

We mean: The government says you should eat more so there's room for a lettuce and a tin of aduki beans and no more

We say: tiles are oversized and elegant in a caramel shade.

We mean: stupidly large beige tiles

We say: Access a private, decked balcony from here, ideal for swigging a mojito in the warmer months

We mean: You'll need a drink when you see how much you're paying for a view of the Sainsburys car park

[snorky]

if this was in Chemnitz of a suburb of Leipzig, this would have been demolished a decade ago as part fo the plans to sort of the glut of ex DDR blocks.

But cos this is ED, its desireable

its is ugly

?1300 pcm ? thats only cover a mortgage of say ?200K - unless someone had a slab of ? to use in as a hefty deposit, this is a poor investment for the buyer.

rubbish

"A mezzanine bedroom faces the south facade..."

So it'll be hanging in mid-air in the street?

The writer is most definitely writing-challenged.

...A larger version of the lesser carbuncle at the junction of Overhill & Underhill Roads, which has remained empty for months and months, and no doubt enhances the view of the cemetery opposite...>:D
