  • Hmmm, or now even. I’ve lived in a pretty good range of houses from Chocolate box 17th Century haunted ones to new build with some 2 up, 2 down, Victorian terrace, Warehouse conversion and Architect designed TMH fodder in between. We picked our ex-LA house for this move as a long term (20 years) bet as the layout works, they are pretty light, it had a decent sized garden, and crucially it was in a good area with a nice local school. All else being equal, I’d take this objectively ugly house over the stone floors/no insulation/shoddy workmanship/dark corridors/over-looked narrow garden/listing restrictions previous homes have offered. You can make anything look pretty good anyway.

  • Exactly, carbon effect vinyl wrap, grey window frames, astro-turfed front lawn, 6 foot tall ‘Live, Laugh, Love’ neon on the roof and some over-sized house numbers. 💥
