Description

A 1950s council house in St Albans, Hertfordshire, has undergone a dramatic transformation, sparking online debate. The £850,000 property features a towering white extension with floor-to-ceiling windows, timber cladding, and artificial grass. Critics call it a UFO or Toblerone bar from hell, clashing with the traditional front. Despite objections, St Albans council approved the design. The Patels describe it as energy-efficient family perfection, but neighbors worry about lost light and privacy. The house has been on the market since 2022, with a few fans praising its location near top schools.
