Here's some of those Georgian doors I had in mind:

Exactly what I am finding!


I drove past one on Saturday that's on at £175k that was only bought last year for £150k and has had nothing done to it. And another that was sold at £165k that's now for sale at £200k.

Do you think I should put my house back onto the market, flog it for £mega and retire back to my parents?

I guess I should give the place a quick lick of magnolia paint, plonk in the cheapest off-the-shelf bathroom and kitchen and buy some twigs to go in a vase first. And I really have been looking forward to spending some time in the garden sipping wine/ G+Ts...

Tempting though.

Prawn cocktail was my first thought too. I love a nice prawn cocktail

Yes, they're not bad. They'd be too big for here:D

We might get away with huge window shutters cut down a bit :D

That place on tv isn't where I thought, its southwark.

Pn that decorations show is on.


I'm not sure where it is but it looks familiar. I'm wondering if its some alms houses or something near Liverpool st? Anyone know?

I keep forgetting about this blooming programme! (and still on the phone wifi so can't really do catch up).

They just showed this: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=bankside+sandwich+bar

So looks like its Southwark.

They look OK, although any house I'd have would be hugely smaller than that, so I was thinking glazed ones.

Issue I see with those folders is that every time they're opened and open they run the chance of being knocked into and damaging.... over 20 years or so they'd be hanging and rough.

I think sliders might be better.... in the main they'd never be open in my house, but sometimes they might be

Yes, put it back on for £200k more than you paid for it - but put in a feature wall with the largest and most garish wallpaper possible - because that's not "bit of wallpaper", that's "money invested", which you deserve to make a profit on.

Where you've gone wrong is not practising that groin thrusting...

They are just ugly.
