I live opposite a park, in summer it’s a fucking nuisance as drunken twats traverse it at all hours, singing and being arseholes. Special shouts to the bunch of pricks who turned up the other night at 0230 with some fucking boom box. Might be worth checking that out.

I also live opposite a park in an area that seems to attract loud drunks at night. That is a pain but waking up and seeing massive trees swaying and looking out over grass makes up for it - and if we had double glazing it would probably be fine.
I would definitely go for the fixer (even though we're halfway through our own).
Shiny stuff that's not to your taste but is too new to bin is my idea of a nightmare - and I really enjoy putting my own stamp on a place (even if you'd have had a hard time reminding me of that at times over the last year).
Also that door is excellent.

We're now in the privileged position of having to chose between two places to make an offer on. Both are a similar size (+-100sqft) and within a mile of each other. One will need next to no work done and is very shiny. The other needs pretty much everything doing and when it's done, will be miles better than the shiny option (better proportioned rooms, period features*, next to a park etc.).
We're both a little paralysed by the fear of making the "wrong" choice. I think all the discussions we've been having are gearing us towards the wreck, hence the questions about full fat surveys. And are anxious about what other people will think about the decision.
