The existing rail probably isn’t right at the top of the current fence. So the current palings stick up a foot, taller ones would stick up more.

I'm not missing that, busses suck rear end. I'm saying that trains are prohibitively expensive for most of the places people wish they were once you consider the number of people they'd serve and its better to give crummy service (a bus) to a bunch of people than a nice service (a train) to a handful of people.

It's wearing a striped shirt with polka-dot pants. The cobbles and brick clash rather badly.

It's also asymmetrical, but not enough to look intentional.

It won't fix it but the windows on the door being on the opposite side of the handle is hurting my brain. Replacing the door would help a little but the door is still out of center.

I can't decide what I like most about that house, but it might be the near complete lack of interior pictures to avoid showing you how tiny it is.

Oh, and Jones was there too.

It's a UK house, they're all tiny. Kitchen is a nice size at least, and there's a floorplan if you scroll down. What a weird, horrible looking estate, though.

Bathrooms seem weird, the house looks like it's set up for somebody elderly, no high cupboards, raised oven for those who can't bend down, enough space for a wheelchair, and then they go and put a bath in instead of something more accessible. I like the ramp out the back, in a place you couldn't get into because of the step.

I think for me, after reflecting on it for a few moments, it's that the "cobbled"(?? is that the term?) front feels like it's a fit for a more squat building with overhanging eaves located in the middle of a wilder garden of some sort. The "old" fronting combined with the newer-looking roof, windows and garden just makes it look like a texture that someone slapped on a render of a modern house. Completely out of place.

How is the master bedroom 2.8m wide, but the lounge that shares the same wall lines 3.5m wide? There’s something weird going on.

Could be measured from the back wall to W rather than the door, a built in wardrobe would account for a ~70cm difference

It’s a UK house, the lounge is a TARDIS and the electric kettles get warmer incrementally faster.

The worst part about it is that it isn't the product of a single individual with horrible taste but rather some committee came up with that design and plopped a dozen identical copies of it down in that development. There are even other variants that have the same weird cobblestone/brick combo.
