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To be sold by Auction: Starting price - £220,000 (Reserve price is higher & unpublished)
We fitted some like those (fours and singles, but in brass) at our last-but-one house in 2012
It'll be interesting to see the hammer price for that.....Mortgage-free for fourteen years!

Absolutely. We had a couple when we first moved to our previous (late Victorian) house. I SO wish we'd kept them when the electrics were updated. Kicking myself in retrospect.0 -

Doorsteps in Harrow don't know what a floorplan is
Apologies edgex, I do not understand.
That magnificent property is somewhat north of Harrow, on the Isle of Bute; or it was when I posted it!
Or is my ancient Scots-English in need of an update?:)
"Doorsteps in Harrow" - Err. Could it be what folk in Watford call certain folk just up the road from them??
Help!0 -
