Tan lines. The window shortage doesn't seem to be getting any better either.

Everyone involved in this crapshow should be utterly ashamed - architect who "designed" it. Company manager who specified/signed off. Planning officials who insisted on it being dungeon-like, and signed off. Builders who couldn't even get enough matching bricks. And some poor sausage who'll buy it because it's new.

By the way, that Stairwell posted a while back here, for sale for 20K, was sold (for £25k)
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!  

ok, but did anyone get my Roxy Music connection back a page or so/

I did. But it blew my mind!

Too many steps down to the garden? No problem!

That is a wierd street layout.

"As you enter through the gated courtyard  small back garden"

That appears to be the only entrance.

What looks like the front of the house, (where the slide is) is now the "back door" to the long garden.  but no way it seems to get to what would normally be the front of the house directly.

Of course that also means no off road parking etc.

Aye, queer setup eh. And streetview is no help. It's almost as if they put a back garden on the front of the house...
