Nestled along a peaceful street in Upper Sydenham, this striking converted warehouse presents an unexpected architectural gem. Featuring an inverted layout, the two bedrooms are situated on the ground floor, while the living areas unfold above, culminating in a private roof terrace that crowns the home. Originally built in the mid-1870s by George Kemp, a prominent local builder and entrepreneur, the warehouse was an extension of his own residence; Kemp expanded the property towards Fransfield Grove to accommodate his growing construction business. During its early years, the warehouse served as a central hub for materials and workshops but over time, while the surroundings have changed, the building retains its distinctive historical charm. A set of original warehouse doors provide an eye-catching entry from the street, framed against the building's red brick exterior. The entrance hall offers practical storage for coats and shoes, with additional concealed storage cleverly tucked beneath the stairs. The main living spaces are located on the first floor—second floor in the US—where large windows and skylights flood the rooms with natural light. In the living room, a dramatic skylight spans nearly the entire ceiling, and the room is anchored by a cast iron fireplace with a marble surround while exposed timber beams soar overhead, lending warmth and texture to the room. Air conditioning ensures comfort during warmer months. The adjacent kitchen features original Gothic-arched French doors that open onto a Juliet balcony with street views and marble accents top a sleek central island that doubles as a workspace and gathering point. Counters line both sides of the room, offering ample room for cooking and entertaining. The high ceilings and abundant light create an airy atmosphere, with integrated appliances, including a Bosch oven, discreetly built in. From here, stairs lead up to the secluded roof terrace. On the ground floor, both bedrooms are located, with the main bedroom, at the rear of the building, offering an intriguing design that includes a sunken seating area, which acts as a second lounge and connects to the en suite bathroom. Hidden storage, crafted from hardwood, is seamlessly integrated into the walls, enhancing the minimalist aesthetic. A family bathroom on this level serves the other bedroom at the front of the home, and features a large walk-in shower adorned with bold Scandinavian tiles, adding a touch of style. Both bathrooms benefit from underfloor heating for added luxury. But the jewel of the home is the expansive roof terrace, beautifully landscaped with a variety of potted plants and trellised greenery. Bamboo borders add privacy, although the terrace's elevated position ensures a sense of seclusion. Whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee or hosting a larger gathering, the terrace offers a perfect outdoor retreat. All for £750,000 or $933,330 USD.                          |

As we get closer to the midterms the GOP Clown Car and its head Clown Pedophile are getting more desperate and unhinged so stay focused and do that one thing you can to drive them all bonkers … CAST A GODDAMNED VOTE!!! Cankles says if the GOP wins the midterms he’ll pass a healthcare plan. His party has had the House, Senate, White House and Supreme Court for two years and done nothing for healthcare. And if you recall it was Fox News, on July 19, 2020, that Cankles promised a “full and complete” healthcare plan “within two weeks.” And yet it’s ben 2,282 days since then and no plan at all. Do not believe a word he utters. According to the Epstein Files Cankles sent money to Jeffrey Epstein roughly 4700 times. This from a man who had 3500 lawsuits from vendors he fucked over but never paid them. Ask yourself how come he only paid Epstein. Gender reassignment surgery costs upwards of $100,000 and is a long drawn out process with psychological testing and all kinds of medical procedures but Cankles is once again saying that children children are undergoing these surgeries during a single day at school. How does this get done for free between Math and English classes? Remember the GOP lost their minds when allegations emerged about Somali-American healthcare fraud in Minnesota? But when Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and his wife, Casey, stole $10 million of taxpayer money meant for children’s healthcare and rewarded their friends with promotions, Republicans were silent. The grift is all over the GOP. The GOP likes to say Democrats hate Christians but the facts are that most Democrats are Christian, and what they hate is people who spew Bible verses on Sunday, deport immigrants on Monday, shoot bystanders on Tuesday, tax the poor on Wednesday, take food from children on Thursday, do nothing about school shootings on Friday, and take healthcare from the sick on Saturday. It scarcely leaves them any time to pass tax breaks for the rich, but they do that too. Don’t forget that in a speech Cankles suggested Iran could use a nuclear weapon to take out Los Angeles and San Diego. He later said it was a joke, but I don’t find murdering millions of people funny. Remember that all the harm Cankles has done to our democracy, our monuments, the nation’s capitol, our reputation around the world, our allies, the wars, the prices, the lack of healthcare, gas prices, the war in Iran, his family using the White House to enrich themselves, his support of Putin and Kim Jong Un could not have been done without the goose-stepping GOP aiding and abetting him. Vote them all out or they’ll just keep doing it. Democrat Representative Jaimie Raskin has new legislation to preserve the huge Cankles banners that hang in front of the US Justice and Labor Department buildings, as well as the “propaganda” signage Team Cankles placed at the National Museum of African American History, saying: “Unlike [his] project of censoring, whitewashing and fictionalizing American history, my legislation will forever preserve his manifestations of authoritarian narcissism and his propagandistic assault on American History and America democracy.” Never forget. Remember as we get ready to vote that undocumented immigrant workers pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year while the top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year thanks to the GOP. The 1% are the problem. The Constitution says a President can be impeached for:
Cankles is guilty of all of these. Running for office in 2024 Cankles said he would pass the death penalty for large scale drug dealers, human traffickers, and anyone who kills a police officer or law enforcement official. But he has pardoned 100 drug dealers, cop killers and is protecting himself and every single predator and pedophile in the Epstein files. Don’t forget as you go to the polls that nearly every Republican in Congress stood by and supported:
They helped; they deserve to be removed from office. This is how Cankles works … he starts a war with Iran whom Russia backs in the war. Then he makes a deal to buy oil from Russia that they bought from Iran. The president is funding Iran in its war with the US. The stupidity is real. People chanting USA! While a man beats a woman for wearing a “Release the Epstein Files” as Cankles calls her “fat” is the perfect description of the trash-hole this country has become under a demented fool and his moronic cult. Speaking of morons, J Dufus Vance spoke at a rally recently and said: “We’re tired if being called racist for noticing that out country has become dirtier.” I’m tired to goose-stepping Nazis in government. Democrats who stay home elect Republicans. You cannot sit this one out and if you do, keep your mouth shut about what happens if we lose because it’ll be your fault. Now get out there and …  |
