What does your house look like?

Obviously i don't own two identical houses, one upside down and one the right way up.
Friggin iPad.

Obviously, that would just be stupid.

But you do own one over here and one in Australia, right?

Lol, well I may well, in a decade or so.
We've been flirting with emigration for the past 5 years!

Grow some wisteria up the side of the house: (apols for the Wail link)

I guess that a high pressure jet wash would go down well on those brick paviours. A mornings work is my guess. It'll come up rather nicely IMO.

Nice house, white white white though. Get a new front door and garage doors in a nice colour, duck egg or something is popular, a wisteria as someone else said could be nice. Your last house had really matured up nicely, love the veranda with the white flowers out the back. Always the way with a new house to you when an owner hasnt done much. My place is the same, moved in recently, 30 years old and almost blank canvas back garden, Im practically willing the plants to grow and mature up to hide the fence.

It is a nice house - it has a friendly family feel to it.

As for improving the front, it looks like the rather "blank" gable end faces the street. It has the downpipes as the major feature and a smallish window. The first order would be to disguise that or change it. Wisteria would work. An orangery? Creating something there might be transformational.

The other thing is maybe that the front door looks a bit too tucked-away. It might just be the angle of the picture but the projection of the garage hides the door. People like to see the entrance immediately. Perhaps extend the line of front face of the garage to increase the hall size?

My new place, needs a fair bit of work but houses rarely change hands in the area so decided it was worth the effort.

View from my roof tonight.

looks fine - and looks like Brighton?

Yup, at the top of 7 Dials. i360 is just down the road and you can just make out the (remains) of the West Pier to the bottom of it.

Not quite ours but will be soon! Was harder and harder keeping it a secret but now the board has gone up we decided to tell the children.
Its huge and knackered, been empty for nearly 5 years. Around 4.5 times bigger than our current place...

Lovely building. Best not to rush anyway. Organic renovations work well.
