Place next door being built is fkn loud. Basically a massive crater at this point.
Looking at the company who is building it, it will probably look something like
this
Or one of those ‘ultra modern’ boxes.
According to the plans the pool is going to be bang right up against the fence so I’ll be able to jump in when they’re not there :) or if I’m nice to them maybe they’ll let me use the subterranean indoor cinema which (according to the plans) can seat 15 (!) people lol.
From what I gather this company builds it then tries to sell it so what sort of person would buy something like that (without any input into the design) I have no idea.
and the burbs are full of those now, they aren’t brick or stone, it’s stucco on foam, hebel if they are doing are it right
also, having actually lived in one of those in europe, albeit an 18th C one, the layouts are awkward and not in tune with modern living, I did like having lots of sunlight and the entrance hall was nice
there were little extra windows everywhere that were made of venetian rose tinted glass lead light , glass so old looking through them every thing looked all wobbly, The wooden floors were old too, in the past they didn’t have mortise and tenon joined wood floors, it was just butted and then they would grout between them. After a few centuries the grout was all gone and there were big gaps . Couldn’t walk barefoot anywhere as it hurt.
no, I didn’t have a cinema, tho there was a cellar. It was dank and cold and would get flooded and had rising damp, it was where the furnace was

That would’ve been interesting living in a ‘real’ one!
It was.
the old houses are built for people who are far shorter than modern people, doors are low, rooms small
unless it had very large rooms i wouldn’t get one, they aren’t conducive to modern life
