Not really a nightmare cos it's cheap enough. Check out the wood paneling.

That's considered cheap?

For the area, they love round there. it'll be clad with a box on the back before you can blink.

To be fair, that's just a fence.

Take a look at street view.

I've been trying to work out if that's a fire escape, though your shrubbery.

Yes, I know. I know where the house is. The thing in the back garden to which you referred, and which is visible in the photos is a fence.

Note that I added a

Bags of potential there subject to deep, deep pockets (and relocation )

Looks like a prison cell.

Yeah, with that pitiful level of light output I'd guess they're LED's. On the other hand all those twinklies above makes it a bit like those starlight/constellation roof liners in Rolls Royces....

Nice area that, probably hear the trains on the Churnet Valley as well.
Need a lottery win to do it justice though.

Well , according to the blurb, it's a 'poplar' area.

There's a 'study room' which is less than 6' x 3'. It's a cupboard, FFS!

This house has been a notorious wreck, alongside its 6 fairly immaculate neighbours, for years. They've only just cut down all the overgrown trees that previously made it nearly invisible from the road.

835K seems a bit steep when you're going to need to spend 100Ks on it to make it habitable, and you can get one of the nice ones today for 1.15M !

I was thinking that almost £300k to spend on a refurb would appeal to me, to get something bespoke. I spent less than that on my Victorian house.

Then I noticed that this thing is Grade II listed.

It should be on for a fraction of that price, as refurbishing it will be a deep pocket nightmare, dealing with awful people, for years.

Not eaxctly a property nightmare - but definitely o[ptimistic pricing. Love the location and river frontage of the refurbished one, though. If we worked from home semi-permanently, I would consider that house. I like the area, and love the idea of Thames frontage with an old house. I could deal with having to commute to London a couple of days a week. Every day? No thank you.
