There is a way in actually, for the slender. See pic 5. I wouldn't fancy it though, I can just see me wedged halfway in when plod arrives....

Oh this is a gorgeous home, and not too far away from me but i don't know walsall that well.

Lets hope it gets sold to someone that will look after it and keep the original features - my mom has just sold up and she'd love this but oh well.

 

[adamroutley]

i was hoping it would be bought by somebody willing to keep it as near to its origins as poss but i think its going to be offered to local housing companies which will rip it down and build on the land, rather than offer it as a sale! booooo!

I am from Walsall. If a building like this is ripped down to create 5+ houses it would be a travesty.

Great pictures, fantastic flooring.

Shame we can't find the sales agent and get a viewing .... it's a great house with good gardens by the look of it. I want a mooch round the cellar and loft.

Hmmm, thats Parquet wooden flooring, real wood made when floors were built to last !
I landed head first on that kind of floor when I was young (might explain a lot).

You read my mind. I don't want to leave UK, just move to elsewhere where I have more friends. I'm studying with OU with a view to getting a better paid job eventually and relocating with it.
