Oh my..

Period property..

How?! Where's it all gone? How should it look at the front? I'm struggling to envisage how on earth you would rectify this?

It may have victorian bones, but they have had so much cosmetic surgery, they are unrecognisable. Like that wildenstein woman. Or Katie price

Looks like it was unsympathetically "re-modelled" at some point in the mid-20th century when Victorian architectural features were considered unfashionable and ripe for destruction. It's hideous.

The notion that it's "exceptionally well modernised" is ridiculous. The bathroom looks 15-20 years old. The kitchen is not only old, it's unfinished and missing trim pieces, and parts are unpainted. Decor elsewhere may be new but the quality of the finish is terrible. I love that little touch of brand new spotlights (aka new build pox) recessed into an old artexed ceiling.

The £400K asking price, on a street which looks like the value should be £200-£250K at best, is the cherry on top.

It's been hunned.

How to wreck a Victorian house: this property listing is a textbook for that. uPVC windows do not constitute a "exceptionally modernised" Victorian house.

And I won't comment on the totally unsympathetic decoration ...
