It's funny how it's on with an estate agents, perhaps they can't sell it.

They will still need to sell it. You have to remember this is a fantasy cottage - we fantasise about winning it, the Daily Mail fantasise about giving it away, if the French cottage is anything to go by, still no sign of a winner for that one, I did email them, but of course no reply :mad:
I live in hope and keep entering it though

Apparently the address is 7 Hawk End Lane, Elmswell, Suffolk.
The area doesn't look great, but if anyone wins it you could always sell it

In the Cottage Tour pictures it looks like there are toys in the garden: slide, trampoline, rocking horse (near the greenhouse).

Is someone living there?

I think the property was added onto that website quite a while ago, so the DM have probably since purchased it.

It is interesting looking at the sale prices for that cottage when it changed ownership previously.

In 2001 that cottage changed hands for £62,000

Three years later in 2004 it changed hands for £168,000

Do we know for certain that the cottage is number 7?

we know from the etate agent page that it is 'Hawk End Cottage', and nethouseprices say it sold 29 Sept 2006 for £250,000 . That name fits with it being the oldest property in Hawk End Lane. Whether it is also number 7, I don't know.

I think I have sussed it. I was going by Lazuli's post ( post number 67) when I thought the address was number 7.

But now I think it has no number just the name Hawk End Cottage in Hawk End Lane.

I think Lazuli may have got that number 7 from it being the 7th sale transaction listed for Hawk End Lane and that was for Hawk End Cottage.

So tgroom57 is correct with that sale price of £250,000 in 2006

....... And would you believe there is even another website that thinks it is No 6

But that is obviously wrong because No 6 on net prices is listed as a 'Semi'.

Listed Building - nightmare! You can't do anything to them without costing an arm and a leg! AND a railway line at the end of the garden! If I win, it will be up for sale as soon as possible so I can go and buy my dream place with a sea view..... lol

Reading further down...
The property currently has planning permission and listed building consent....

which may help to explain the current price tag. If I win (ha!) I shall move in and enjoy... the kitchen is already bigger than what I have here.
