Two "time capsule " houses ,  both for sale at the same time and next door  to each other...from the same Estate Agent.

Goodness, I thought they were the same house! They're like twins aren't they? I'd love to know what the back story is. Can't believe there isn't a connection. Perhaps the owners were indeed best friends (or siblings possibly?) Blimey though- London prices never fail to make my eyes water...

My bet would be siblings!

Quite possibly siblings. It's far less common now but at one time it wasn't unusual for close family members to buy adjoining properties.


Based on the very similar and rather DIY look of the dilapidated rear sunrooms,  I'd imagine the previous owners worked together on building them both at the same time.

I'm some ways I love it but I get more kinda quirky european hostel vibes rather than a home.

What's with the apple boxes for clothes in pic 16 and also the wood wall in pic 17?

Then with the bath propped up like that with bits of wood on top in pic 26?

The heating bills must be sky high with the high ceilings, Jacuzzi and walls probably not insulated.

Why no external photo of the front? 

Hopefully the buyer is a plasterer or gets mates' rates for one.

If  street view is accurate it fails badly on kerb appeal.

Yes, it's there in the description "As you approach the property, you are greeted with what appears to be a workshop"  

I wonder if it even has planning permission, or building regs come to that, as a dwelling

Looks like a DIY conversion of an industrial building.  Some parts are finished to a "unique" style, some are just well not finished.

I bet overall insulation is lousy and heating bills astronomical.

You are right with SV being accurate as it matches the floor plan plan https://www.google.com/maps/@52.4705534,1.7462306,3a,75y,74.93h,84.39t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s9dt3UwBRi3KT2ftqE1GQNg!2e0!5s20190701T000000!7i13312!8i6656
