A popular Twitter account is going viral for sharing architectural eyesores from new housing estates, poking fun at some of the questionable design choices for new builds all over the country.

A recent image shows a block of red brick houses with six-foot high timber fences marking out the back gardens with a disjointed assortment of lines.

The random division of spaces resulted in gardens of different dimensions, with an incoherent selection of fences chaotically weaving in and out of each other.

Among the oddities shared on the account, aptly named @HateNewbuild, are random pieces of furniture blocking access to driveways, pieces of cladding missing from a new property, and discarded fittings that appear to have fallen off.

Others show a garage door blocked by a newly-installed lamppost, crumbling walls, damp stains and a flat balcony inexplicably built away from the patio door of the apartment.

One photo shows an awkwardly-placed broadband communication box blocking access to a parking space.

The viral photos have attracted comments from a number of hawk-eyed users, leaving sarcastic comments mocking the properties’ poor design.

“All new housing developments should (in my view) by law have a percent of green space, hedgehog holes, wild areas etc… planning permission should not be allowed unless this is in place from beginning,” one said. 

Another commented: “This is tragic. Planning is completely broken in the UK.”

“This is so bad for people’s mental health, not to mention the ecology, flooding, etc etc”

“This is why Britain sucks,” another said, with another adding they’d “rather be homeless” than live in one of these houses. 

“How can you say that, look at the beautiful curvature of the fencing,” another asked sarcastically. 

“I’d love to wake up to that vista, inspiring.”

“Miserable. you could take all those fences out and turn it into a nice green space where all the kids can play whilst being supervised. share the garden with your neighbours. instead of whatever this horror is,” a horrified user suggested.
