Doesn't it depend on the local market and need at the time?
Always! The area is weird, all the old houses are being knocked down and turned in to middling footballer mansions with astroturf gardens. Unless you had similar 'spectacular' plans for the place then you'd buy somewhere modern and cheaper in the next town. No point living in a cold 1930s converted bungalow where doing any work requires unpicking 70 years of modifications that weren't done particularly brilliantly to start with. Nice garden though.

My dad's neighbour's place sold a couple of years ago - elderly bachelor whose parents had moved into the place when it was almost new in the mid-1930s, nothing had been maintained/updated for years (no central heating, original windows etc), bought by a young family to live in - they had to spend a bunch to fix it up before they could move in, but they definitely live there now.
