Every town and city has one or more of these: The House at the End of Town.

It sits on a large plot. Maybe one of several nondescript houses, often a dormer bungalow.
Renovation and extension work is never quite finished.
In a nearby field are piebald ponies and derelict tractors.
One or two car projects litter the front yard.
What features does your 'House at the End of Town" have?

The front wall is largely ornamental blocks, and the gate posts are topped with concrete lions.

One of the houses I go past has a collection of 1980s Jags and Daimlers. Mostly red, unless that's rust.
They are that Double Six model. None roadworthy. Maybe he thinks that if he buys enough of them, he will have one each of every working part.
He hasn't painted his house in the last 30/40 years but his neighbour's place is impeccable.

A common feature of The House is that they run a block paving business. Two of the staff members are Dobermans who handle customer complaints.
The Dobermans live in a miniature chalet.

Was that really worth the effort to type that last comment?
OP here.
Thanks for your post.
I'd have thought my original comment was pretty clear that it referred to 'towns' not 'my town.'
Never mind.
I could infer:
Either he does live in a nice town but has never left it.
Or, he does not have English as his native tongue.

I consider this thread to have been somewhat unsuccessful but perhaps many PH-ers are leaving town in a hurry?
