  • There are a myriad of things to do and see in and around the Village when you’ve laid down the power tools for the day and just want to enjoy yourself. Just around the corner sits The Castle, one of our favourite places to eat (check out the quinoa and beetroot burger – it’s epic!)

    Yes, well, you certainly won't be doing much cooking in that kitchen.

    Lovely terraced house in London

    https://www.primelocation.com/for-sale/details/52540780

    Still with gas light in the kitchen and an outside toilet, so some upgrading required.

    that place is truly in a time warp. look at the old black rounded light switches!

    To be sold by Auction: Starting price - £220,000 (Reserve price is higher & unpublished)

    Transport it all to Shoreditch and you've got your hipster designer home ready for that "ironic retro" Guardian/Observer shoot.

    What a find O.M.!

    Memories of Izal are drifting through the mind :(
    Even worse is the news that it's still available.

    Note the toilet seat lid has a bespoke V-for-vandal mod. No doubt for self support.
    If boys were trained to sit down for their no.1s, such disfigurement would be unnecessary! :p

    What a strange place.
    Storage heaters put in at some point (70s, 80s?) but no other work done.
    Wonder if it's been empty for years & the changes to empty property council tax have forced their hand.

    Blue & gold bedroom?
    Boats galore.
    A tiny house glued to the gable end of a much bigger one? No Thank You :(

    We fitted some like those (fours and singles, but in brass) at our last-but-one house in 2012 :D

    It'll be interesting to see the hammer price for that.....
