      I've cycled through the village; it's a lovely area, and looking on Google maps, you've got the River Stour at the bottom of the garden. Might, as you say, need £1,000,000 worth of work, but it would still be reasonable for its location.

    That house at 9:40 has what looks like legitimate medieval plaster paintwork, definitely medieval construction methods in the structure. It might be in a bit of a state but that house is of incredible value. Just the plaster walls in there are priceless, museums fall over themselves to get hold of that stuff when these ancient homes finally leave families who have kept hold of them for centuries.
    It's a shame to see it in an abandoned state, but that is a proper house. That has definite historical value. From the entire town of Ipswich nearby not even that much medieval plasterwork walls were rescued to put into Christchurch Mansion on display. That is an incredibly high class property, and I wouldn't even be surprised if an archeological organisation grabbed it up to study it. Nearby Ipswich has some similar houses, though not anywhere near as grand, which are preserved empty for their historical value with occasional tours and little museum displays in the windows detailing the building's history.

    Standard two up two downs in 1963 were around £1200. That's a little over 1 year's wage at the time. That's how people back then could work in a fast food restaurant and support a wife and 6 kids comfortably. My grandfather took care of his mortgage in 5 years iirc. Impossible to do that today unless you're in the top 1% of earners.

  • @jonlannister345
    @jonlannister345 3 місяці тому

    House is a little overdone, but that's not bad at all, other than the kitchen. You can see a lot of that furniture is incredibly old, priceless stuff. Since most of the styling and decor is from the 1700s (some looks like it actually is, not recreation) that's not to the modern Ikea and Facebook dominated anti-aesthetic, but nothing wrong with that house at all.
    That's a regular sized house that has been done up like somewhere King Charles would live, and that's top class. That's like when you meet 20 year old kids who put in the effort to wear a nice suit everyday. You know for sure they're not stupid enough to watch TV.
