In possibly the weirdest New York Times UK property feature ever... the story of a nice girl from Texas, who's ended up in Reigate, swapping sunshine and space for a house with an asbestos problem and one less bedroom now that she's knocked through and turned it into a wardrobe. She did it all for love. Simply as an Englishman, I've been left feeling guilty. And it wasn't even my fault. Love these US views of the UK market though:

Ms. Gilmore’s home is what is called in Britain a mid-terraced house — a rowhouse — and is classified as semi-detached.
