To Paddle Or Not To Paddle

The Creek, Sunbury-on-Thames, Surrey

This property is being marketed as a building plot, but actually has a serviceable house in situ. So the question is whether to refurbish what is already here, or knock it down and build a new bespoke residence? To newbuild or not to newbuild? To paddle or not to paddle. Personally we quite like the old building. It is quirky and certainly liveable. But the price tag is pitched towards a state of the art newbuild to go onto what is a very well located site. Imagine commissioning Richard T. Foster Architects to build something along the lines of The Round House as featured below! What an amazing design for a first class location.

For the sake of good form we should also point out a third option to the refurbishment or newbuild proposition. At around 0.45 acres, technically there should be enough room to build 6 houses on this plot (click here). Though that might be viewed as over development of the site. Perhaps four newbuilds would be worth consideration.
