pilchardthecat Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 What about this chav-fest of extensions (moreso the one on the right)? Have you ever met a chav? As a general rule they tend not to live in massive period manor houses with manicured lawns. Is that a peacock on the left there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cells Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 What the ****** has it to do with you? Do you go seeking views you don’t like and stare at them until your eyes hurt then protest that your eyes hurt? WTF is it with people who don’t like what something looks like when at most they may see it in their peripheral vision for 2 milliseconds as they drive by!! The house looks….i don’t care and I don’t have the right to object nor do you at least morally and logically whereas you sadly do when it comes to planning laws!

cakehead Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Looks like the Dalham house was a teensy teapot cottage that was extended piecemeal before planning regs troubled with building materials or stylistic continuity. It resembles a very small youth hostel, the usual competition for weirdly extended rural buildings of character. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Executive Sadman Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Here it is, admittedly it wasnt a very attractive bungalow to begin with, but still, its a pretty half assed cheapskate way of turning your bungalow into a chalet type house. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=burwell&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Burwell,+Cambridge,+United+Kingdom&gl=uk&ei=N8gCTaznA8SKswbDkMjgCQ&oi=geocode_result&ved=0CBoQ8gEwAA&ll=52.284388,0.329112&spn=0.001037,0.005493&t=h&z=18&layer=c&cbll=52.284343,0.329243&panoid=StF9CE1tgyZFJhAx-RrmJQ&cbp=12,189.87,,0,8.87 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Assuming the left hand side is original, why would it be narrow and terrace like when it's detached? The rest looks like someone knew a builder who'd been left with materials for a job that had fallen through. Either that or it's a film set. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tim123 Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 No it doesn't. It's hideous smoked glass green house welded to the side of a nice stone building. It's the now standard way of adding an extension to a listed prop. The eco numpties think that it's a good idea to insist that there is no chance the extension pretends to be part of the original so it has to be built in a completely different style. I think it's nuts, but they don't. tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would quite happily live in a decommissioned railway carriage, I have been inside some wonderfully converted ones in eastern Europe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PunK BeaR Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 No it doesn't. It's hideous smoked glass green house welded to the side of a nice stone building. Thats all the rage nowadays. Make a clear differentiation between the old and the new. Dont try a pastiche as it looks tacky. etc etc Personally, i think your right, it does look like a greenhouse. Best just to leave these old stone buildings alone and dont bother with any extensions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
