Halfway down the hill is a house that comes with wisteria pre-installed. It's an interesting shape and has some interesting deign work going on and has a lovely front(ish) garden; I've been admiring it regularly every time I go by for years.

... and it's currently for sale.

From the start of the brochure:

Barnfields are proud to offer for sale this formidable semi-detached property built in 1927 by local builder Mr Hills. Hills Folly boasts a wealth of period features along with a modern twist offering five bedrooms, two reception rooms, a magnificent kitchen/breakfast room and conservatory.

It's hilariously out of budget and not suitable in any number of ways and we're not looking to move house...

... but we might just book a viewing anyway. I mean! Look at it.

“Second reception room” in the description is labeled as “dining room” in the floor plan (actually I don’t recall if it’s First or Second but it’s the other reception room in any case); fifth bedroom is the odd small unlabeled room that is half built-in-closet-space (containing things like ‘the water heater’ according to the description…) which I suppose might be possible to fit a bed into if you’re *desperate*…

Going by the photos, ‘reception room’ appears to be functionally equivalent to ‘living room’. Certainly sounds fancier though ;)
