love the dividing doors, love the bathroom, love the loft room.

Do not like the look of the back garden or the area

countrykitten · 28/02/2013 11:30

But apparently it's a much better area than the whole of Wales....

countrykitten · 28/02/2013 11:31

Looks pretty rough to me and the crime stats are dreadful.

The doors would look ok in a grand country house or an old municipal library - which is no doubt where they came from originally - but they look ridiculous in a small Victorian terrace imo - totally out of place. Not massively keen on any of the decor. The modernist house on the other hand looks great, but sadly neglected.

The modernist house has a great garden but i am not a great lover of open plan living. It looks cold and a nightmare to heat.

Bloody Nora Shock

A thread. About dividing doors. Has gone awry.

Baffledandbewildered · 28/02/2013 12:03

Haha thought the house looked familiar !!!! I moved from this street 12 years ago . Very nice :)

Baffledandbewildered · 28/02/2013 12:09

Its not in plumstead its blackheath . They are about 2 miles apart !!

That's a lovely house, I was all set to post that not knowing London very well I was surprised that it cost so little ( a nice 3 bedroom near my parents in the midlands would cost nearly that) then I came on to see the comments about the area.

twitchycurtains · 28/02/2013 12:42

Not keen on the house, however I would love to live in a house with 2reception roons or at least a frigging door between the living room and kitvhn/dining room-I hate open plan living, I dream of doors and walls.

Pmsl countrykitten
OBVIOUSLY I was being offensive to demonstrate to cantspel how offensive she had been. You can't honestly have thought I was being serious? Not ^really?? Shock.

And of course I don't mind if people don't like the house or even hate it. I haven't argued with anyone else who doesn't like it, have I? Its not my house, I don't even know Plumstead at all well. I just happen to like those room dividers.

"FM - please explain why you have used racist remarks in this thread. Really not impressed. Shows a rather high level of stupidity on your part."

I like the dividing doors but the house is a bit.... well.... cosy to say the least Wink

Fallenangle · 28/02/2013 12:50

Its what my dad calls 'brewers taste'.

grovel · 28/02/2013 12:52

I imagine welsh people would like the dividing doors.

Only boring people get bored, did you Mum not tell you that Hully?

Well I'd say the derelict dump in Dublin probably has more potential than the Plumstead one.

KobayashiMaru · 28/02/2013 13:02

yeah but Howth is a seriously desirable area and once renovated that house could be worth a fair bit, even in this market.

Hullygully · 28/02/2013 13:03

no

boring
