The "cheapy" in Detroit, well, as someone else commented....
I know people in the UK that are buying places like these up under newly formed US LLC, and renting them back to the locals via associations, etc. The yields are high, but then so are the risks, hence their low price... bit like the £1 places found in some parts of Britain.

(Would be nice if someone did something like the DIY SOS did for a Veteran's St., IMO.)

I've been going to Detroit every year for the last 10 years. Still here.

Maybe we should head North?

None of them substantially faffed around with, either, period features seem largely intact.

I've been to Whitehaven and along the Cumbrian coast. I'd rather be a few miles inland...

That last one is just astounding to someone used to London pricing.

Does tend to highlight that the problem in the UK is not that property is too expensive but that there are too many jobs in the South East and not enough out in the regions.

This would do me just fine. Sadly I'm a few quid short of the asking...

All too frequently, and not just on this thread, wealth and taste are rarely in the same place at the same time.

And yet, where there are the jobs people are hurling themselves at highly impractical properties.

There's a lot to like there. It seems that the bits I don't like would be leaving with the current owner anyway. What they'd leave behind seems very satisfying indeed.

It's too much of a mismatch of styles for me. All beamy in some places then all minimalist in others. Like they couldn't make up their minds. I like both types of house but it's got to be one or the other.

^^^^

It's abhorrent. Vile. Execrable.

It has neither the elegance and refinement of the modern aesthetic done well, nor the warmth or charm of an older house.

Just a incongruent collection of unpleasant materials and finishes, thrown together by some mouth-breathing halfwits. There's not a single book in the property.

Exhibit A



Steel, wood and wallpaper - none of them with any individual merit and collectively horrid. Part industrial kitchen (steel frames, lighting), part Premier Inn (awful furniture & little splashes of purple). There's a mahoosive telly hidden in the end of the bed, natch.

Exhibit B



Someone *chose* to put down shiny black floor tiles and thought those rugs and that furniture were a good idea. Can you imagine how dark, cold and charmless it feels on a winter's evening with the rain lashing against the windows?


Can you tell I don't much care for it?

They have rather snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, haven't they.

It's West Yorkshire. A sex pond in the living room, a stripper pole in the bedroom, a few more TVs and bosch, the whole set up of having each room resemble a sales zone in Dwell comes together nicely?

[FourWheelDrift]

Photo 7 of the cinema room, it almost looks as though if you settle down low and stretch out in the back seats resting your feet on the red stools the bottom part of the screen gets blocked by the back of the seats in front.

[bob-lad]

And why sit so far away from that screen.

You might as well have an old Sony Trinitron in the kitchen.
