    Never realised that Imelda Marcos had downsized and moved to the UK.
  • If you took out the shoe racks you would be able to put in bookshelves. That's a plus, otherwise don't like it very much.

    In need of some TLC why the need for 2(7&8) photos of the bonfire ash.

    good plot well back from the road loads of potential

    No.11 has had application for tree work in the last year so may not be so derelict.

    Bypass has been built on the A477 so may not have so much traffic on this road now :D
    I should have known that, as I knew it was coming 10 years ago.:o

    In that area, dodging the double lines of pylons was always a consideration too.

    All academic to me now!

    Well - I guess that developer moved fast (assuming it wasnt STC) when you made the post...

    Just as I was thinking "Potential nice house - with a LOT of work done to it".

    That's right - it was the garden that was attracting me. Translation in that part of the country = developer thinking "It's the plot that is attracting me".

    It was already SSTC and as a conservation area I suspect they won't be able to do much beyond the existing footprint, nothing much on the planning portal around the area developing stuff.

    Never having seen it, I somehow imagine that this is what the sets on Game of Thrones or some nerdy quasi medieval computer game look like.



    But what is it that they do to make the photos look so weird (as if the subject matter wasn't weird enough)?

    Does anybody here remember the Myst computer games?
