    http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-23939706.html Wouldn't you think they would clear the front garden before taking the photographs? I think its just a tad overpriced but am watching with interest as I am interested in this area.

    A lot of people will be put off by the noise of the North Circular and the electricity cables almost overhead.

    It looks like they were building a new road right next to the house when the google camera called. What's happened about that?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    They've only just finished renovating it, hence the carp in the front garden and being barely furnished and now they want to sell it on asap. Meanwhile it has four bedrooms and a downstairs bathroom. Good luck to them.

    Yes, I wouldn't want to be quite so close to pylons or the North Circular myself, but the work that looks like a new road being built is a water mains replacement programme that is finished now. The good thing about this little backwater of the East End is that in front of the houses is an unused sports ground surrounding the gas holder and they have another wild area that used to be a sports field behind them. That does rather balance out the other obvious drawbacks

    Me too, and a sewing room, and a music room, and maybe a bit more - hence the late night fantasising over estate agent !!!!!! ;) I like to see houses with books on their shelves, so many seem to not have any books at all in them - sad.
