Good address though, No 1 The Thames.

I wonder why it’s quadrupled in price in 4 years? https://www.kentonline.co.uk/medway/news/no-1-the-thames-back-46892/

Not sure if I like this or not it needs a lot of work considering the price

Yes, it does seem a wee bit overpriced despite the provenance. But it is gorgeous I think. Love those doors and the fireplace...


Actually, reminds me a bit of a bungalow we viewed once- built in the same era and just about completely un-modernised (it was a probate sale following the death of a lady who had lived there all her life. I think it was her parent's home originally). Like a time-warp.

We had a bath in the kitchen in our council flat (no bathroom) until we were moved out early 70s for modernisation. When not in use it had a hinged top cover to be used like a table.

A certain ambience de scout hut :rotfl:

Parts of it could be 1970s, parts could be 1890s (the servant's bell indicator)

Nope. All of it was built in 1936-7 (even though the listing says 1920's)

Our house was designed 1939, but built 1946. Or at least completed 1946.

It had a bell indicator in a polished wood case. In fact I still have it in a cupboard. I keep wondering what to do with it.

My parents' house, which was built in the 1920s had bell pushes in the downstairs rooms.

I know; some of it is so modern and occasional other bits are really old-looking. An interesting justaposition of styles.
