Does anyone know what is going on in the garden of this listing?

[Househunt2026]

The boundary line has a weird cut out and it’s freshly boxed in in the garden, but in the pictures the box (and thus boundary line) look like they jut into the property. What on earth could be the reason for this? https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/91378401

More to the point, what horror is that little tapestry rug hiding???

Agree, what with the fire regs on the wall and extinguishers in strageic places. Seems like the door into the kitchen is a fire door as well.

It could be a lovely house, but agree it needs £££££ spending on it first.

I’m fairly certain they were built around 1890 based on the conservation area docs!

you’re so right, I hadn’t noticed it before - not a speck of furnishings and then that strategic looking rug 😂😂

It looks to me that it’s a cobbled together storage unit to keep stuff in.

The neighbours are working on the boundary or perhaps on a party wall and have built a temporary structure to protect the adjacent garden. Perfectly normal.

I think it's possibly a Muslim prayer rug. The house doesn't look lived in but someone (caretaker? EA?) may have prayed there. It looks randomly placed as it's facing the direction of Mecca.

Really ugly and horribly expensive, but that will be the postcode.

@SixtySomething @Livingoverseas123 did you see the floor plans? The storage unit/wall is defined as their border! That is what I’m curious about. Seems like a really weird boundary line for a Victorian terrace.

What is the pipe in photo 20 for? Why is it there? So bizarre

2 kitchens means 2 lots of council tax.
