Well some thing has to give it a £1.3m price tag! Nasty ugly modern

Indeed.Meanwhile the back garden is shabby and the fencing tatty.

What are all those round things in the walls next to the sockets ?.

Lights, as you can see from the later photos. Weird imo but clearly thats
what they are.

They're everywhere. In every room. (Except the shower.)

Maybe a patient care lounge, wired services for beds and such.

There are some circular 3-inch sockets at socket height all over the
place, even either side of the WC. What could they be?

Lights.

Ours are shoved behind/under sofas and chairs. Not in sight at all. With
an added bonus that you don't need to move furniture to get to them.

Isn't that a bit of a contradiction? ;-)

Definitely not in our case. The layout of furniture in the room has
changed over the years (particularly since I got married) and at one
end, one double socket is behind a bookcase and the other is behind a
china cabinet - both immovable without emptying them first. A short
extension leads from behind the china cabinet and is tucked away between
it and the end wall 6" away from it. It normally feeds the cabinet
lights, but often gets used for phone charging and running a fan in hot
weather.

A basic 3 bed semi over-extended at the back, with a really ugly loft
conversion. Not much of a garden and no effort to make anything of it.


It's a detached property, and convenient for commuting into central
London, which explains the bonkers valuation.

No. If you need to move something plugged in, you just find the
multiplug, which is 1m (at least) away from the socket, and do the
necessary there.

Beats trying to find a spare plug socket which is invariably as far
behind a heavy sofa as possible.

That's the beauty of DIY. You situate sockets and switches where they are
needed. Not where an electrician guesses.

Just a tip ... I'm too old to give any ****s about making anybodies life
easier except my own

Quite right.

If you took pics of the rooms here empty, it would be similar to that
estate agent's pics. You wouldn't know why the sockets etc were situated
where they are.

Add sockets in the correct places when re-decorating?

Very few places in London which aren't convenient for commuting into town.
I'd not think Pinner special for that.

Pinner (et ses environs) is *especially* good for commuting though, as
the Met line runs an express service (or did when I lived there) that
could get you from Harrow on the Hill to Aldgate in less than 30 minutes.

When I lived in South Harrow, I could leave at 8.00, and be sitting at
my desk in Marble Arch before 9.00. And that was with a 15 minute walk
to the station one end, and a 10 minute walk from the station (Baker
St.) the other.

Perhaps you don't know just how fast you can move around London by PT
these days.

I went to Regent Street on Saturday to look at the veteran cars (London to
Brighton) Took 45 minutes door to door, including the walk at either end.
