I agree - lovely. I always see these wonderful places, but then consider the additional £££ you would need to shell out to furnish it correctly. A trip to IKEA would not suffice!

My first thought was 1920s Art Deco - The 1934 build date surprised me a little.

And you don't get much of a garden for £2.2m.

Art Deco ran well into the 1930s.  Some lovely original features - would be sad if the new owners 'modernise' them out.

What ever possessed the architect into thinking this was acceptable?  And who would buy it!

I haven’t read the description but from the outside it looks like an old school building.

Might work well for marijuana houses?

I doubt an architect came up with this as a design for a new home.
Big developments get a "master plan" stage done by one company. The local council make ridiculous requests on density, privacy, nature etc which get incorporated into the design and the estate and the houses.
"Gardens not overlooked" leads to houses with stupid windows for example. Density leads to 3cm gaps between houses 

The master planner gets paid and washes their hands of whatever nonsense they've ended up agreeing on 

The actual construction of this rubbish goes to a bidding process. Often big companions refuse to build it. 

That company takes all the blame

The estate in Cambridge where all the houses fell down won lots of awards for the house designs and master plan.... Sigh

Hrrrmmmm... Wonder if there is planning permission and building control sign-off on the garage conversion.

Oh I'd move in there if I won the lottery!

Have clearly been hanging around this board too long though, couldn't help but wonder how much maintenance all that flat roof would cost...

A naturally chonky cat - I've got one that looks rather on the fat side.

Does that count both as fat shaming  and cat shaming?
