I can’t decide if that is beautifully preserved original, or a recreation of the style with a fabulous eye for detail.

So they have added no value of their own, but seeking a substantial premium above the average for the locale. Best of luck with that in a currently static London market.0 -

With it being so near the North Circular that will put off a few (like me) due to noise and pollution , despite some EA's frequent claims about transport links etcposeidon1 said:Green_hopeful said:@EssexHebridean It was like this when they bought but it was only 2021. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/house-prices/details/fe390c2f-aeab-4158-b77e-f085fda52c63
