I got it too, but I’m still not quite sure how this particular ‘chair’ works... unless it’s multi-positional...

Not too shabby, with provision for a collection of cars - https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/96556859#/



Not sure I like the metal windows/doors though. (£2.25m, with reasonable access to KGX)

That's lovely. Can't believe they've done that with a TV in photo 11! Easily removed though.

[RichB]

Yes, that's nice...

How on earth did those windows get past planning & conservation?!

Because planners like all that business. They like it to be obvious how a property has changed over time. Years ago that space would have been open.

I quite like this portion of the building:

From my experience of planning and conservation, allied to anecdotal experience of others, I have to admit that I don't understand the above bold part.

Are you being facetious?

[Simpo Two]

I think he means that new parts, like extensions, have to be notably different, not trying to copy the old. At least that's how it was on a George Clarke project.

Not sure that space would have been open originally, it would be an awfully big loggia!

[number2]

They like/prefer/require extensions to be modern e.g. glass box stuck on side of a Georgian pile. See lots of them.

So the difference can be clearly demarked or because it's difficult to extend/replicate sympathetically, I don't know.

Deadly serious.

Planners and architects like to see a delineation between the old and new. They tend to see blending in as a pastiche.

Personally, I think modern adjuncts to period buildings often look offensive. But I do enjoy being able to read the history of a building, so probably the experts know more than I do.

Mrs. Guitar and I used to stay regularly at this place. It's grade one listed, but the owners got planning to put in a modern apartment at the top as can be seen in the photo. Fascinating building, it's a Grand Designs episode, the place is called 'Hellifield Peel'.

I recall that one went pretty smoothly, all considered?

I think this is the same place in 1905 - without the modern extension - https://www.countrylifeimages.co.uk/Image.aspx?id=...

Not really - they didn't want to run a B&B! He's a successful architect iirc. There was also the small matter of a fecking enormous wall collapsing as they removed the rubble from the ground floor.

It's also even "worse" than Grade 1 listed - it's a scheduled ancient monument!

One of my very favourite though. Went on the market a couple of years ago (in theory turning a nice profit) but got pulled from sale.

I think the eco glass got delayed on its way from Antwerp
