That’s an interesting office in… Covent Garden

Well. It’s been a while hasn’t it? We’re in this thing called “lockdown”, if you hadn’t noticed, and while that should have made it easier to get writing, my mind has been pre-occupied with fears about dying, losing my job, whether the box-sets on Amazon and Netflix will get better and whether or not I […]

That’s an interesting house in… WGC

It’s been a while since I’ve been on here. It isn’t because I wasn’t interested, it was more to do with the lack of time. It seems odd to even be here now. To be honest, time is at both a premium and a luxury at the same time. I, like most of you, am […]

That’s an interesting house in… Tottenham

A quick post this because I am pushed for time. I would, if I could, live in London. Sadly, it isn’t too be. But if it was, it would be this one. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-85752455.html Because of this. I’d live in this house because whoever is selling it clearly doesn’t care that there’s a mannequin, naked, apart […]

That’s an interesting house in… Wrexham (or near it)

When I think of Wrexham, I think of unemployment, scousers, and funny-money Mickey Thomas, the footballer jailed in the 90s for having counterfeit bank notes. What I don’t think about, aside from that being clearly unfair, is the fact that it is incredibly well connected, technically not in England, which, let’s face it, is a […]

That’s an interesting house in… Beckenham

Ok, I thought I’d hold off the whole Dave Sedaris thing (I’ve never read his work btw, but have listened to him online), but only a few posts in and I’ve caved. The blog, is, and resolutely I state this, remains, primarily about property, and not about me. That said, if a writer (blogger) is […]

That’s an interesting house (castle) in Maze Hill

Ok, confession time. I feel under-prepared. I feel under-prepared because it was this building that I saw, with my own eyes, little more than a month ago that inspired me to come home and start writing again. I am married with a couple of kids (sorry ladies), and once a month we do something called […]

An interesting house (flat) in… Greenwich (near the park)

I have been ever so tempted not to make this site all about London. I was born in a London borough, and thanks to the property market being, frankly, unaffordable in 1989 to my parents, I like so many other kids at the time, moved out of the smoke (Beckenham to be fair), to the […]

Hackney Hardcore

(an interesting house in Hackney) I’ve nicked the title for this from one of my artistic heroes. Jonny Banger, DJ, Entrepeneur and knock-off king, did a bootleg sweatshirt of the Helly Hansen brand – changing the type to say Hackney Hardcore. Now, the point of this site, isn’t to get political. It’s about interesting houses. […]

An interesting house in…Innishbiggle

Yes, I have never heard of it either. I found this one over a year ago. Bored with work, bored with living in the Medway Towns (there’s a saying that if you’re bored of Medway, then you’re probably right), I looked at how we could, as a family, escape the rat race. How we could […]

An interesting house in… Frimley.

One of the things that inspired me to start this site was the discovery of unusual houses, and the need to share them with a wider audience. I’ve no formal qualification in architecture, and to be honest, I don’t know what I am talking about when it comes to such things. But I do know […]
