Although you are the same age as me I have to assume you got on the housing ladder before me. First place a 2 up 2 down. end of terrace on Canford Heath. Originally built for the council but they never took them on. Single garage in a block. But our area has always been expensive. I was about 29 when we bought it for £23k, in about 1984 again on a 100% mortgage guaranteed by no one. We didn't get a semi until a year or two later.
Yes, we bought that house in 1975 when we were 21 years of age.Although you are the same age as me I have to assume you got on the housing ladder before me.

From looking at the pic's it seems to be built from 4 corner posts wiv thin timber between them. Eye is a bit put oft by some of the review comments so may buy 1 wardrobe and 1 chest o draws and see. If they is good eye will get 2 or 3 more of each. Eye could line the inside of the two sides wiv mdf to strengthen them fer shelfs.
Have a look at ikea stuff…

Interesting!Yes, we bought that house in 1975 when we were 21 years of age.
We sold it in 1980 for £16,995 and bought a detached house (also on Canvey) for £30k.
Then it all went Pete Tong when I moved to Stroud in Glos. Missus didn't like it down there so we moved back to Essex. Couldn't afford much then as the prices down here had gone crazy. Had 5 houses in UK and 3 rentals in California. This one we are in now we bought as a probate sale for £90k (it was a wreck) in 1990; and the average price in this street is around 500k now so it has come good I suppose.
That's a big ole burner, what kW?Evening folks
