Lovely house full of character, traditional materials and colour on the inside and also on the outside too. I don't think the owners are moving into a new build outside Kendal

Lots of nice things in there including the dog. It doesn't look cluttered to me, however. Nice balance.mark_cycling00 said:Spot the doggy-woggy!

This is one of those houses where my first thought in Sir David Frost's voice is "who lives in a house like this?"
Anyway, quite a nice house, not enough pictures really given the value IMHO. But twin bathtubs? I don't get twin sinks if I'm honest, but is this a couples goal or something? I know I'm not romantic, my OH tells me often enough, but I don't think he'd want me ruining his peace when he has a bath either

I agree. I can't think of anything worse. A 'Jack & Jill' bathroom is one thing but a 'Jack & Jill' bath arrangement is quite another!

I've also heard that bricked up windows, which apparently gave rise to the expression 'daylight robbery', were a form of 'future proofing'.FreeBear said:
Between 1696 and 1851, one had to pay a tax on the number of windows. Some claim that this lead to windows being bricked up to avoid the tax. Others suggest that it was an architectural thing. Take your pick.RHemmings said:
I've seen that quite often. There will be a reason. I sometimes wonder if it was pre-double glazing improving the insulation of the house. Or: dungeons.Green_hopeful said:Funny two houses are missing their windows. https://www.knightfrank.com/properties/residential/for-sale/church-terrace-richmond-surrey-tw10/rch012430727
