1930s House (South Norfolk)

[hamishsfriend]

Been driving past this house for years.There used to be a few cars in the driveway including an L reg mondeo that was new then and never moved to my knowledge.

Interesting, thanks. There's no sign of the Mondeo now, the only vehicles I sometimes see parked in there are builders' vans, I think.

I drove past this beautiful house today,lots of workers there but not much progress,the only difference I can see is the bay windows on the side of the house have been removed as if waiting for an extention...which is great news I think cos I certainly wouldn't want developers flattening it,that would be a shame,its a really big plot the house sits on.

I remember there being massive trees in front of it and the mondeo parked under them....going green with moss and stuff!!!

maximus, AFAIK the house will be renovated, not demolished, which is indeed good news.

Half a House !

Well it's a pretty place, but by today's standards, only half there. The owner is up for new Kitchen, Bathroom, Laundry & various Toilets & maybe needs an add-on extension to put it all in. Serious money !

Where I live [ Sydney ], most of this class of building [ 1930's free-standing Brick ] has doubled in size for modern requirements. The question is always whether to alter or rebuild.

Lucky the roof & floors here seem OK.

I was like "OMG, NO WAI"

Presently the building is stripped bare except for few period details such as the tiled fireplaces, which have been retained.

Great find

Shame some of the original doors have been removed; hope this doesn't mean that horrible uPVC windows are the next 'improvement'. Thanks for a really interesting post.
