The "have a look at this!" thread II

When it said it is in Dresden I did a double take. I didn't realise there was a Dresden in Stoke.

This seller loves their orange wood

Not sure it's even wood. I removed panelling like that from my first house back in the 70s. It was a sort of very thin laminate.

Perhaps they were looking to emulate a life at sea, in a yacht, in the 70's.

The EA has managed to make this one look pretty unattractive:

But.... "a Firm of local Planning Consultants have viewed the property and have informed us that it is their opinion that it would be possible to demolish the existing bungalow structure and to build a superb bungalow or house to the purchasers' exact requirements on the site of the existing bungalow.

Don't know about you, but I think this is easily two acres and there's potentially 2 residences to be had.

Not my favouite part of the West Wales area, but it's very convenient and well-connected.

Bet this doesn't hang around....

I would be very wary about what the Firm of Local Planning Consultants have said and take it with a pinch of salt.

The property we bought was in a state and not big enough (we bought it for the garden). We weren't allowed to build a new bungalow as big as we wanted, in fact if we extended the existing bungalow it would be bigger than they would allow a new one. (does that make sense lol) We did extend in the end but were only allowed to extend the foot print by a third. Luckily we could extend upwards to make it a chalet bungalow but that wasn't really what we wanted.

I was suggesting from my own reading of the site, in view of the two accesses, that there ought to be more potential than these consultants have said. If anything, they were probably playing it safe.

Don't forget, your experience is in England, in the South, and this is Wales, in an area of much self-build and God-awful, ribbon development of a kind that would never be allowed in rural Borsetshire.

But who knows, those Welsh dragons may change their spots one day!

"The exact site" eh...? They mean the one literally feet (and not much of a riverbank slope) away from that stream do they?

I agree that it's that bad it's "knock it down totally" territory....:cool:

No problem. See what was done recently when the houses just down the road were built.

Somewhere to bury the rubble.:D

So where does the water go? Surely it increases flood risk for those houses?
