Owning your own home

This is like those weird property before/after posts which are all over Instagram but they're nearly always better before. 'Contemporary refurb' starter pack options:

1. So many horrible up/down lighters it's visible from the ISS
   
2. American style-door not befitting property with massive vertical handle
   
3. Acrylic/perspex door number like this
   
4. Going right up to the edge on both sides of the plot so you can't get things into the garden without a crane (note your example has done that).
   
   

Basically the house equivalent of a Merc leasemobile. Sad that nice old tree got the chop.
