A dialogue between 2 estate agents:
-Hi John, how's your property doing?
-Fine Mike, fine. What about your compact & bijou flat conversion set over two levels within an imposing Victorian double-fronted house?
-Well...stunning but not providing enough modern living style with character yet.
-Of course, you don't have contemporary radiators, do you?
-People love that stuff.
The estate agent's jargon is so fascinating that I couldn't resist the temptation of playing a bit with it. Here is my small tribute, on the cheap, to the debate concerning the housing market. Or the rip-offness of the housing market, if you prefer.
I set off with the intention of producing a small, wholehearted tribute to domestic life but after reading something like "...providing a prestigious address on an elegant space, this sensational four bedroomed house is generously arranged over five floors..." I decided to set the tone for a radically different discussion.
The image caption reads:
A charming Grade II listed Georgian heart, favourably situated around the corner from lungs and other lively, essential organs.
A most distinctive building, inside it has retained many period features but also has potential for restoration and minor updating. Accommodation comprises two atriums, a fine curved aortic arch, a dual aspect I shaped superior vena cava, right and left ventricles and an outstanding pulmonary artery.
Mitral valve to be negotiated separately.
The heart also offers a gated entrance courtyard and a triangular garden area

If this looks scary to you wait another 10 years and they'll put up for sale your Victorian liver as well.
