It looks like they’ve converted two integral garages to living accommodation

Agree - pic 16 shows a very weird lack of symmetry that must be deliberate, but seems odd -

That'd annoy me every time I came home.

It’d make a good ‘spot the differences’ competition.

Seems decent value at £1.5M and must be unusual to find a house like that so close to a village centre.

it looks like they've tried to have the diagonals match (sort of)

I don't think they've got it quite right, but breaking up the uniformity a little. Better than total symmetry.

I quite like it. Reminiscent of real Elizabethan houses that are often a ‘bit added on’.

Garage nightmare? - https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/109534442#/

Is it me or is the garage closest to the house a nightmare to get into/out of with the portico on the house. Or is it just the perspective?

It looks a little tight, but a small car would probably go in.

That kitchen

[Shnozz]

I don't mind that kitchen. The suite in the lounge on the other hand...

Seems a lot of house for not a lot of money mind. Always think Silverstone seems quite a charming village when I visit too.

Probably tricky, but then again how many people have 3 cars in a garage ? At least 1 of the three is likely full of bikes and general junk anyway....

Getting on and off the drive isn't ideal, never mind the garage. For the size of houses they're really packed in. A few visitors at a couple of houses at the weekend would create havoc.

Motorbike... or typical for the UK... storage space.

How about a doer upper - for a mere £2.85m?

https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/109491596?f...

I'd love to know the story behind this. Why on earth would someone live in such squalor in a £3m house?

[sutoka]

This is up the road from me, been empty for a good while fixed up it would be £1m plus but something is a bit off with it.

There's a load of potential in there.

Unfinished project surely. Though of very dubious taste.

Is that magic eye wallpaper in pic 15?!
