44 HARELAWN DRIVE looks unassuming and, dare you say it, normal from the outside.

But it’s only when you dig a little deeper into the photos that you can see the current owners really stamped their aesthetic preferences all over the gaff.

“L’il tacky dream house” is such an affectionate and accurate name.
