    That's an unattractive building and looks out of place. I imagine a few neighbours aren't pleased; not only lost their local cafe, they get this in it's place too.


    It's hideous isn't it? How on earth was planning permission granted?

    I doubt the neighbours would be eating there much if they already live in the nearby area? While its architectural quality is debatable, I reckon a cafe would potentially produce more complaints eg crowds, noise, litter, smells, parking etc.
    Imagine a cafe suddenly opening up in your residential only street?

    It's a simple cafe, not a nightclub and when i say "neighbours" i'm talking about the members of the neighbourhood not the houses literally right next to it. So of course locals were using the cafe, that's why it was there (but perhaps not enough to keep it there).

    I don't need to imagine, i specifically moved to an area with such local amenities. There used to be a small restaurant at the end of my street, but it was converted into a house last year. Fortunately it's completely in keeping with the rest of the area.

    The pictures were from a photographer trying to hard, okay I could skim over that but the floor plan? the upstairs link baffled me more than the downstairs link, what's with the black sharpie scribbles over the bath?

    Is that why it’s been on the market over a year? Or is it because it’s priced at 20% over the highest price for the road?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    ....just looked it up. Seller is a lingerie mogul (someone called Michelle Mone who I've never heard of). It's beginning to remind me of an episode of Father Ted!
