And the nomination for the most misleading road name goes to

Situated just off  the London North Circular Road...

Multiple pictures of hairy cows, a large clock and a bed end tv, the very height of must haves in your house if you aspire to be with it!

I thought you might like to see some pictures of the house we bought in April (cos I just know you will absolutely appreciate them 😂). I've screenshot them from the EA listing. 

Hang on to those four panel doors, especially if they have the original locks. Plenty of other period features worth keeping.

I think that Dining Room carpet may be my all time favourite - though the Hall carpet gives it a run for its money.

I agree-  it's wonderful isn't it?

We've kept all the doors and taken all the flush boards off. I'm sorry, but the carpets have gone 🙃 they were fantastic quality but it was a step too far!

Noooooo, please tell me that pretty one in bedroom 2 did not end up in a skip.

What a fabulous house. So much to love in there, it will make a wonderful home. 

Funny isn't it how when we are young and go to visit grandparents we think that everything in the house is ancient. I've found that as I get older I'm more for the old pine dresser, cottage look and hate the modern grey chrome look. I often wonder if it's just personal taste that changes or if you really do become 'old fashioned' as you age.

Perhaps I should ask my younger visitors what they  think when they visit our house.

WOW that is (will be ) a beautiful home. You're very brave. Are you all still in the campervan or have you managed to make the  house habitable?

I remember posting on your thread way back in January. We took the relatively easy route of buying an extended 1970s bungalow needing only a little work, back in Shropshire. If we were 30 or 40 years younger, I would love to have to taken on a project like yours. Good luck!

This house has a few things....

1. Who on earth lays out breakfast fro the estate agents photos?

2. How many sofas in one room?

3. The photographer looks like he is dressed to shoot a crime scene (I know covid PPE)

4. What the hell do people do to afford to buy these homes?

What is that in the far left corner of picture 7 and also shown in the right of picture 8?

Well I guess the breakfast is there so show it's a breakfast bar?

The living room with all those sofa's looks like an old people's home. Pictures 15 and 17 seem to confirm that

It's being run as a sort of B&B- that explains the seating in the utility and the rather crummy bed bases in some of the bedrooms (considering the size and style of house!).
