About it

7 Carmel Terrace is a mid-terrace house in the hamlet of Mongewell, near Wallingford, Oxfordshire. Built in the 1960s by Carmel College for its teaching staff and their families, these houses began to be sold into private ownership in the early 2000s. I moved here in 2005 and although I've done lots to it, the house remains original in all the important respects.
