House of the week

MOVING out is going to be hard enough, parting and packing up being such sweet sorrows, and as for decluttering, well ... it’s not going to really make much of a difference, is it?

The red-brick period semi-d Glenville has lots of property market requisites in its favour, but its charm is extra, down to factors like the patina of age, more old pine than your average forest, and enough books on shelves to account for another forest or two’s demise.

New to market Glenville’s a busy spot in more way than one; it’s choc-a-bloc full of possessions, and in the last fortnight, house-hunters are almost falling over one another (and themselves) as they navigate its three floors of rooms, one more packed and curious than the other.
