Ex-council houses

My word, there's a lot of these up for sale. And none are appealing.

A turgid dark brown colour. Dominated by irrelevant chimneys. Out-dated white window frames. And front gardens that look like havens for stray dog turds.

Many have been converted into even less appealing maisonettes. And you're never sure of the quality of the neighbourhood, nor the friendliness of your neighbours. I'm sure they're all very nice. But I'll pass.
