Delightful, a piece of paradise there really.

Yes but a thousand pounds was a lot of money back then

Equivalent of £53,000 in 2021 £££ - and there was the cost of the land too.

But still a mere fraction of today's lunatic property prices.

Great calculator :

Yes but the inflation of property prices will have far outstripped the general level of inflation RPI/CPI whatever.

Oh wow, that's so pretty. Looks like a Lilliput Lane cottage. I used to collect them in my 20s but I sold them off.

I might buy it if I had the cash...

£53,000 now seems impossible. Wish some of the home builders on programs like Grand Designs took on the challenge.
I think its delightful and has the character of older properties.
I'd love to see what it looked like when newly built.
