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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

I imagine welsh people would like the dividing doors.

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

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