Lots of people, including families, and myself, prefer living in a stone, well built, terraced house, rather than a newly built Wendy House.
To prove this further, some two-up, two-down, traditional terraced houses in Hyndburn, are more expensive to buy than three bedroomed modern houses, with gardens and garages.
