One of the ugliest houses ever!

jw2003

Thought this one looked a bit depressing:

Couldn't find the type of house I was looking for but an old friend lived in a place that had no windows out to the front whatsoever... brick wall and a door... and that was it

This estate is in the city where I work. Over the last 10 years it's undergone some MAJOR redevelopment. This is the result:

Not a very nice estate to live on, in fact, I refused to visit sites there on my own during the day!

But that's what regeneration does - replace yesterday's slums with tomorrow's.

Well if we're opening up the category of over-extended bungalows:

At least I think it is. It's hard to tell.

Good grief, that's ugly. On a pedantic note however, how is that a bungalow? I'd class it as an over-ambitious cottage

They are my idea of hell. Are they rental?

I think you're right, from the fact the windows are recessed rather than dormer.

On the subject of bungalows, you know a house is an ugly duckling when the first picture on Rightmove is internal or the garden:

This one you have to wait until picture nine to see the lack of kerb appeal.

Another ugly. http://www.findaproperty.com/displayprop.aspx?edid=00&salerent=0&pid=5442192

In particular, I'd draw your attention to this room: http://img.findaproperty.com/miller-&-son/Redruth/dp75442192.jpg

Strange, couldn't find it on Streetview, although the address it brought up isn't exactly picturesque:

It's like they built the drive/bridge/underground room structure up against a perfectly normal house.

Sorry is it a house or a van for sale? Check out the street view, I'm practically crying with laughter!

If you search for Jaywick Clacton-on-Sea you'll find some gems, I could list at least 10 we could have a good laugh at.

I think I would actually feel some sympathy for EAs working in Jaywick

Do a complete 180 degreee turn on streetview - absolutely brilliant! :T:rotfl:

180 or 90?
