This is in the same postcode. Stained glass and bathroom are lovely. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/house-prices/details/england-76908625-91017330?s=958a61caf46c7e699555f1b93fe4313308a0df12db57ab989b5e07d01b0d51d6#/media?id=media1&ref=photoCollageFreeBear said:
Took me a while to find the property on google maps - It is actually on Woolton Rd, and there is a garage/repair shop to the rear. Don't think they would care about the state of the garden.daivid said:

Depends on the type of lodger - If you want one that you'll never see, the space would be ideal. Although, with that amount of separation of living space, I suspect they would be a tenant, not a lodger. Best kept for the batty relative or that 30 year old teenager that you can't get rid of.Ditzy_Mitzy said:Another one from the 'garages are evil and must be converted' school:

The garage is now an annexe, as so many are these days, but one wonders what the new owners will do if they haven't a somewhat batty, single, elderly relative to shove in there. It can't be used as a self-contained flat and, I believe, would be unsuitable for a lodger. In fact, the ideal use would be parking or storage...
The annexe is no good to a conventional owner occupier as is: what's the point in having another kitchen and living room? Perhaps it might be good for a teenager who still lives at home?
Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

They were obviously planning to use the flat roof as a proper balcony.eileenfromplaistow said:The door in the bedroom. It's not exactly a Juliet balcony.0 -
