We are viewing this house tomorrow:
Southwell Grove Road, E11.
www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-57531638.html
There's no doubt about it, it needs a lot of work. The amount of work is a bit scary for me but it's a house and that's better long term than a flat.
I'm thinking it needs a bay window added, the top window being returned to two windows like every other house and the pebbledash removed. The area was bombed in the blitz ( two houses on that street) so I suspect the pebbledash was used to strengthen the building rather than for 'decorating' it. I doubt it can be taken back to the brickwork but it can be removed and rendered so it's not as horrific.
The poor house basically needs a facelift before you even get into the front door.
Am I thinking along the right lines? Any other suggestions?
