    http: //www.rightmove.co.uk/property-...-43363045.html Need to know why you guys think its not selling, been improved since last sale in 2009.

    Despite the money the EA is going to make on the sale, they haven't bothered doing a floor plan.

    As Mardle says - first photo isn't good.

    By the looks of it a repo. I think the EA has actually done a good job and that it is even worse in real life.

    There's a lot of these round here that were built in the 1960s - although this one has a more modern kitchen in it.

    Thanks!


    There are a couple of streets around here that have these but they always go for less than smaller Victorian terraces on the surrounding streets. Always wondered why.

    Not surprising. These late 60s / early 70s houses lack any of the character of Victorian houses. Not particularly well built either. Flimsy walls and low ceilings. Post war up until the early 80s was a low point in quality and design IMO

    I'm wondering if the block is studio flats & someone has created a 'bedroom' in the loft space of one of the first floor studios. If there are 8 studios in the block that would explain the roof shape in that room.

    That's exactly what it is. Those are a very common design of studios.
