The big question though, is  what the local council will actually allow him to do with it. re: planning permission.
Unless he has got some strong indications already for a change of use, he is taking a chance.

 Squibb, 49, is hoping to get permission from the local council to turn it into a pop-up shop, office or “live-work space” that entrepreneurs can use – potentially for up to a month at a time – free of charge.

Property developers have also contacted him to tell him that, with the right planning permission, it could be developed and sold for £500,000.

Not that he is  too bothered I suppose:

At the very least, he said he hoped he would be allowed to put a desk on the landing and use it as an office space himself. “I own a £2m mansion not too far away, but I think I actually prefer the staircase. It’s the potential of what it can do to help other people. It really excites me.”

Purporting to sell sanctuary?  That's got 'cult' written all over it...

Eh? What gave you that impression?

I think some of us are showing our age! I got it straight away.

I know the song and the group - but I still don't see how the term sanctuary  was prompted by the Guardian report.
Unless by quite some stretch ,  a business space is some kind of sanctuary , I suppose.
Oh well, let's move on.

The pun was about The Cult, as you say, but was prompted by something about the whole business vis a vis 'we help entrepreneurs for free' not seeming quite right.  No apparent objective; no apparent source of income; missing information and broken website link; photogenic young ladies all over the place...  Perhaps I'm a cynic.  

Anyway, back to houses!

Nice house (and bear), but the term "Punctuated by sash windows" is rather irritating.

The floorplan on this new build confused me at first. I assumed it was the whole floorplan for three different houses. But no.

Why live in a nice two bed house with space for a car on the drive when you can instead live in a flat above a car park with your dining room on the landing?

The whole advert is confusing - There appears to be images from four, may be five different homes being shown. So you might get a juilet balcony, patio doors opening out to a garden, or the top floor of a multistorey carpark. Definitely view before you buy rather than going for off-plan.
