Fun at the money pit

So our house comes with some nice things:

But we went there this morning to measure up properly and take photos of everything for the "before" pictures. But we found some things we weren't expecting:

we found what, at first, we thought was a postbox with the word Lambeth on it,

but turned out to be the original Victoria (or is it Edwardian?) cast-iron range cooker:

Amazing.

Also, behind this horrible 70's electric bar fire,

was another original fireplace, in need of some love:
