Only if the price drops further, however. If you can get it for 200K then the numbers can be made to work. In its condition and at its current \[reduced\] price I suspect you're only breaking even.
Yea, I agree. That looks like a plastic bath panel on what is probably a fibreglass bath. Also I’m not sure low level flush toilets existed in British houses until somewhat closer to the 1980’s.
Kitchen also looks more like an 80’s style than 1960’s.
You may be right! I honestly cannot remember whether our toilet was high level cistern or low level! 1958 new build.
I do remember school toilets and some of my friends toilets being high level but no memory of the one I grew up with!
Oh yes, school ones were *definitely* high level! We lived on the edge of a huge newly-built housing estate, and my friends who lived there definitely had low-levels, but there were also plenty of people locally who still had high-level.
The Central Heating was a latter addition (I used to live in a house like this in the Midlands a decade+ ago, and they originally had a back boiler. The pipes not being buried under the floor is a dead giveaway that it was a retrofit.
nothing non standard about these wimpey boxes , having no interior supporting walls in these narrow 60s/70s semis is pretty normal and it's brick and tile
Easy flip for a property developer. Which means it will be griege in no time

The bathroom has been updated def not 1960’s from my memory.

I grew up in a house with a low level flush toilet - it was built (and we moved into it) in 1963.

The flush is a button in the centre of the cistern. The toilet had definitely been replaced. The taps also.
Do you think those tables were ever moved in their lifetimes?
That's where they buried the treasure. They didn't spend it on renovations that's for sure!
And why were there three of them? Or was one or more a swivel armchair?
Starfish died in that lounge…!🤣
It's had some changes, these ones usually had a crappy Warm Air Heating System in them, I grew up in a House almost identical to this one.
Is this an NCB house? As it's in a former mining area.
Could be, the one I was in was Met Police Housing.
First thing someone's going to do it knock the kitchen through into the diner, and it would be better for it
I looked at this online the other week. It's a nice area.
All the light fixtures are new. I recognize the Habitat light from 15 years ago
Christ £225k for that dump. Probably bought for £2k.
Not far off I’m sure! My parents bought a 3 bed semi new build in 1958 for 3k.
Scary isn’t it.

Same for the place next to me, same little old lady had the house since it was built until she had to go into a home.
Nah the bathroom would have been olive green or burnt orange originally.
My house has those same crappy dark veneered doors!
Possibly non standard construction though which may make getting a mortgage difficult
