The door is beautiful and the carving too. The decor is boring but it seems that’s what people want. I’d add some colour myself.
Wrecking ball urgently required!!!!!!!!!!! What a dump!!!!!!!!! Building plot is pointless as it has not got good views either!!!!!!!!! Layout is awful too —— weird!!!!!!!! Knock it down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
