Owain 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.

Bill When I lived in (South) Harrow, a neighbour used to describe their house as "Pinner". As with most places, some of Pinner is very posh. But it bleeds into North Harrow, which is less so, and onto West Harrow, which is less so still. Eastcote borders Ruislip (our current PMs bolthole) - not far from Northolt airport which had all sorts of odd goings on in the 1970s ....

Well...
I see the house is unoccupied... How long before scrap metal thieves break in and strip all the copper out? Hope the house has a commercial grade CCTV and alarm system to protect what appears to be the UK'S national copper reserve.... Whoever buys it and moves in is guaranteed to never get arthritis! |

It's a bargain at that price...
The value of the copper far exceeds the asking price! |

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. -- *Forget about World Peace...Visualize using your turn signal.
