The enchanting woodland is in one of Peterborough townships built in the 1970s. They were the future. They decided not to have windows on the front elevation of the houses. They had communal areas at the front and no parking spaces. Some had district heating. They made sure they had schools and drs and shops. 

They were designed to get people out of London poor housing and provide workers for local industries like Perkins Engines. 

I remember Bretton being built. Because the "streets" all adjoined one another, the only way you could tell which house belonged to which street was the fact that all the street signs were in different colours and the house numbers were in corresponding colours. Judging by the heat that was coming out of the open windows of some of the houses I think the district heating system must have been charged at a flat rate rather than by individual usage.  

Yes my husband remembers visiting houses where it was roasting and people just opened their windows.

Some lovely art deco fireplaces there.

What a coincidence, exact same "lava" carpet that was posted by Johno a couple of pages  back.

I love the lava carpet. I think I would be tempted to keep it.

In fairness the shower curtain will take away the view, though it will do nothing for the sounds or smells…

Curtains looks to be remote controlled.

But who has the remote? The voyeur in the bed or the showman on the throne?

We have stayed in a number of hotels with a window between the bedroom and the bathroom. I always think it’s funny but then we don’t have a door on our ensuite.

Moved the font door to the right, meaning you now have to walk in a circular path to get to the door to the snug and downstairs toilet.

 Whats really odd is that they have extended into what was the garage (and above it) then hived off that part of the house to be its own little house. So this one for sale was an end of terrace with space at the side and now is a mid terrace. Also loses a car parking space as access for the parking spaces belonging to the little house at the side will need to be given. Picture 15 gives a Birds Eye view.
