Is this, as I surmise, two non-standard construction semis knocked into one with a large, brick extension on the back? Not seeing the logic but what do I know?

There doesn't appear to be any numbers missing on Streetview - 698 one side/702 the other - so probably just a detached house with a big extension.

That's about the value of the plot. Crazy, isn't it?

I think it may have been built like that. It's an awful lot of house for the money!

Interesting decor on the inside. I think it's creepy .

That is horrendous! I can not imagine a presentation more likely to put folk off :eek:

OK guys - what am I missing here? Seems to me the only people this is worth anything to is nos 212, 214 and 236. And presume they have already been offered!

Hope value for extensions in the future? I'd say there's little hope whatever of altering the building line.

Grazing for tethered goats? Might bring the value of Nos 212 etc crashing down....

Camping under the 28 day rule?

Lease to travelling wood carver selling mushrooms and other assorted garden ornaments? Could be interesting.......

Extra thrills for local lawn mowing fetishist? It gets light at 05.30.

I dunno....


Maybe 212 etc have bid too low privately, but they'll be encouraged to bid higher by the fear of the unknown.

I threatened auction when selling a piece of land myself a few years ago. The attitude of the 4 other parties was "But it's not worth much to anyone else!"

My reply was, "Can you be sure about that?"

They met my price in the end.

I almost agree with you, but have to make an exception for the Rastellis, (Chocolate and Company) who were very popular in this country when I was a child.

Thanks to my Dad having a particular job, I'd see them several nights a week, most years, during the Panto season. They really were something else!

"Each member of the Rastelli family team was a first-class musician, and between them they could play almost every instrument in the orchestra. But they added a rich vein of comedy by knocking each other's heads off, smashing guitars over themselves, and blowing up a piano which one of them had been playing only seconds before. Putting the instrument together again in time for the next performance took two hours.
Alfredo Rastelli was an exceptionally talented musician; he had a solo act in which he played 22 instruments in one sitting, and as part of the family's best-known clown act, Chocolate and Company, he would play two trumpets simultaneously in perfect harmony while accompanying himself on drums."

Lot of it about - councils/developers offloading land that has maintenance/mowing costs but zero value. You could of course try tarmacking it and turning it into a long narrow car park and charge commuters to park there for the day, it might be just round the corner from a station or large factory - or what about an ice-cream or butty van pitch? That should please the locals...

EDIT: - Ahh I see!! parking it probably is then - its spitting distance from a large city hospital. There's parking season ticket revenue to be had here with a small investment.
