Luckily power still on where I am.
Is the power off around Longmeadows by any chance?
I’m ok ower here in Lower Herrington (Farra).
You’ve got every other type of Herrington.Nice way to put it

No, not quite. I’m just up from McDonalds in one of the Georgian (effect) houses.Power is back on now.
I had it in my head you lived around Summerhill behind the Board Inn.

Same here. There was a canny refurbished one up for sale a while back. Was surprised at how reasonably priced it was.Nice looking houses. I always through they were git posh when I was growing up.

Were you selling it or did you buy it? Was done owt spot on either way like. Would have been tempted if I'd been looking to move like.That’ll be mine.
A lot of house for the money.
I bought it. I’d looked round High Barnes, East Herrington etc. and other than the area (although where I am is quiet as anything), pound for pound this was the best house... I’d have been spending another £40/60k for an inferior house but in a slightly better location.Were you selling it or did you buy it? Was done owt spot on either way like.

Atleast I know which letterbox to shit in now.
The price snobbery around Herrington is mental. Massive price disparity for the sake of a 2 minute walk in a particular direction. Laughable really.I bought it.

My kids have got into EH primary so can’t complain there either.
I look forward to the kids finding a pile of shite on the mat.
Always has been marra.The price snobbery around Herrington is mental. Massive price disparity for the sake of a 2 minute walk in a particular direction. Laughable really.
Me too.Nice looking houses. I always through they were git posh when I was growing up.
I’m far from posh. Most are dropping to bits a bit from the front and the council do little other than cut the grass but they look lovely from the road. I e been doing stuff to mine and it looks decent out front. Still some to do but as people tend not to use the front so much (all parking is round the back) they tend to get neglected.Me too.
Also thought folk were posh if they had black pepper in a grinder rather than ground white pepper in a little plastic pot.
Couldn’t agree more. I’m down places like Charter Drive and up Durham Road every day and the prices for space are eye watering in places. If I moved, the only thing I’d be gaining would be a better postcode (although it’s all SR3) unless I started going £300k+.The price snobbery around Herrington is mental.

I lived in Hillcrest when I was a lad if that helps.Power is back on now.

Agree 100%! I’ve grown up on council estates and although I look at east and middle Herra and think it looks great, I could effectively afford to double my mortgage but for no other benefit than nicer surroundings which are otherwise a short walk away.I have lived around this area for over 30 years in the same house.
When I was looking for houses, the area was always "sought after".
Nothing has really changed.
Now that the old council houses in Farringdon have gone up for sale, (right to buy etc) - there are some great properties to be had at good prices - BUT - the area is still a council estate - and that's where the snobbery will come into it - as @Mackem00 mentions in post #14.
