    the 1st one is really nice. so unique but the 2nd is a lot of money for a standard small flat.

    It was a fire station, not a fire house, not a fire building. it was a Fire station. Personally I preferred it when it was a working station. I had many of good standby shifts in that station.

    It's similar to a loft building and probably costly to heat during the winter months.

    I liked the 2nd apartment more, but the 1st one was really interesting.

    Great conversion but the walls are glazed bricks NOT tiles used in a lot of places that needed a easy washdown surface 100 years ago

    I hope the lift has a "Do not use in case of fire" sign.
