Teak Drive was an estate where you bought a plot and the house was built to your taste, there are some wierd houses on there, one like a Swiss chalet. They went up in the late 60s. The appliances aren't tested so they put the stickers on, bathroom etc because they don't want to clean again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Teak drive was a nice little estate, I lived on the estate on the other side of the main road and it was a nice place to be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bear Hug Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 With it's purple bathroom suite it's a bit of a museum. Of course there will be "do not use" signs everywhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
destroyah Posted April 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 its gone for 280k.or i wanted to bid but the massive 25 meter leylandii hedge at the back put me off. said hedge is 1m away from the neighbour's wall. imho it smells of potential dispute if cracks appear in neighbour property. probably too cautious but having suffered neighbour issues before i would rather not risk it again.
