The whole house was “occupied”: the neighbors beg the spouses to trim the bushes (4 photos)

The owners once tried to improve the plant, but it grew so quickly that it now covers the entire room, except for the windows and a small extension.





Lye House, located in south-east London, was built after the First World War and opened by King George V in 1927. Everyone who moved to the estate was given vines, which were then used to decorate the facades.

The new owners, as soon as they moved here, tried to improve the bush, but it grew so quickly that it now covers the entire room, except for the windows and a small extension.



The British are firmly convinced that the plant helps them insulate their homes, but the neighbors are complaining so that Teresa (Michael died a few years ago) will finally restore order.

"It attracts a lot of bugs. Something like this might look good in a small village, but it doesn't fit here," says local resident Mark Philpot, 59.





Another neighbor, 90-year-old Eric Sands, who has lived in the area for a long time, is also not happy, but sympathizes with Teresa.

“My family moved here 88 years ago. It’s always been like that since I can remember. They, as the owners, can do whatever they want. I think it will be very difficult to remove all this now, because you will have to rip all the tiles,” he says.



Other local residents are not silent either.

"This is not my home, just like green is not my color. Honestly, I think someone is just very lazy. I've been working here for 26 years, but nothing has changed," one of them added.

Although there are those who really like this style.

"The owners of this house have become local legends. I've seen people slow down and take pictures as they walk by. I love it - it's a landmark," said another neighbor.
