Squeeze-in houses

moneyistooshorttomention

Well...outa interest....I'd like to see details of properties that have been squeezed-in to places where there quite obviously isn't room for a house.

But someone put one there anyway....

All contributions welcome...

I believe that this one would fit the bill



It could be yours for only £200,000

Yep....fits the title for sure:T

"Very unique" the EA says. There was me thinking "quirky" was their usual fallback option for "You gotta be kidding....but someone might like it".

Yep....good contender for this thread:T

I've seen a similar one and it was obvious it had been built on someone's tiny little backyard (now even tinier:eek:). I often wondered what it was like inside.

I can show you many examples of houses built (or converted) in the last 15 years or so which have no garden, but perhaps a single car space, or at most a tiny patio area, in mews or courtyard developments on brownfield sites. Many are 3 storey.

It will be an aspect of living we will have to get used to

What a depressing thought Lincroft:(

Anyways...on a different tack...and some squeeze-ins are rather older than that and are actually detached or semi-detached houses that, at first sight, look like there is room for them. Then you sit and analysis how they actually "work" and they don't.....because there isn't enough room for them...

Anyone got any examples of them?

It's too expensive to be poor

I don't see why you have such a bee in your bonnet over infill housing, money.

On the one hand, you profess to love the countryside and organic food, but on the other you appear to think we are all 'entitled' to a certain amount of space, indoors and outdoors too.

Well, I have 5 acres of space available. It's on a good road and there's water and electric on-site. No one is wants to pay me much to grow organic crops on it, or raise meat, so perhaps I should just get some 'nice' houses in there, each with about 0.25 acres of garden. I could do plots at a give-away price of , say, £50k.

Maybe we can leave the farming stuff to the big boys.

I don't understand the comment and certainly don't understand the link - there are probably millions of such houses in the UK
