Slowly\u00a0rotting\u00a0away on Coldharbour Lane (by Barrington Road) is this four-floored Victorian terraced house.<\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong> it seems that despite its\u00a0dilapidated appearance, the building is in fact occupied. Many thanks to readers for the info. See the thread on urban75 for more info.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
