Re: The Elevate/pheonix scheme

17 Hornby St Osw, 1942 - 1961 terraced
249 Dill Hall Lane, 1961 - 1967 terraced
28 West Close Ave Higham, 1967 - 1971 semi bungalow
26 Lord St Osw, 1971 - 1972 terraced
8 Chapel St Belthorn, 1972 - 1978 terraced cottage

27 Laburnum Drive Osw, semi
Hawthorn Ave Osw gfloor flat (shop converted)
the 2 above rented for total 6 months during refurb of -

17 Catlow Hall St Osw, 1979 - 1984 gable end terraced
60 Dill Hall Lane , 1984 - 1991 terraced
8 Barnes St Church, 1991 - 2002 terraced

The list above shows I have lived in seven stone built terraced houses.
The sizes and interior layouts differed, so it is not realistic to say that all terraced houses are better to live in than new builds.

Two of them had only single brick walls dividing next door - hence neighbour noise.
One had no front garden - hence street noise & litter.

Some terraced houses are worth preserving - many aren't.

From my frequent flittings I can say with some authority that what matters most is -
location, location, location.
