Amazing.
A bargainous £12,500 per square metre. The resulting house would be fun to see. Half of it being underground is a bit offputting though.Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

No .... for the profit you can make from it by building on it, then suckering somebody else into believing it's an "ideal home", or a "bolthole" ... or some other aspirational wording
"Room for an Aga" in the kitchen and it's sold!
I bet some bugg4hs turned it round for £595k within 2 years.0 -
No gasman cometh.... it's not yet entirely too late to write him off, but I'm not hopeful. I got a bit nippy too as I left the heating off so he didn't have to be poking about with a super hot unit ..... it's on now though and if he comes now, then that's tough.
Doubt I'll see him today though.0 -
Two more "peculiarities" in today's new houses to market.... both detached.
1/ Detached 2 bed bungalow 3 years old. Bit too cheap .... found it in the back garden of a Victorian house, only foot access up the side of their house to get to it.
2/ Detached old house, 2 beds. A genuine Victorian coach house... total floor area 498 sq ft, 48.2 sq m. Off road parking ... which actually means: Find the gap between these two houses, go up there and it's facing you - then turn into the car park for 25 cars and it's pretty much alone/isolated in this dark car park
So that's another two marked down as not worth viewing 0 -
I quite like the sound of that first one, tucked away amongst the gardens of the other houses. It could be peaceful.
Edit: OTOH, I think I've found it on RM. Hmmm.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
Friends of mine have just exchanged on a house built in the front garden of a house that is set back from the road. So it is the existing house owners who have to drive up the side of the new build. I guess they could choose carefully who they wanted as neighbours!I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

We're building ours at the back of ours.
Hoping to keep ours when we move to ours

Yeah ... can't get near it... looks like somebody built it to rent out/AirBNB or to live in while they rented their whole house, or possibly for a relative.... and now it's for sale it literally looks like you're "living at the bottom of somebody's garden" and not in a good way by any measure - no road access at all.... traipse up your bit of garden, then up the side of theirs, then up the side of their house, then you're on the pavement .... and the car could be a loooooong way away.
No pizza delivery would ever find you ..... visitors would find it "too hard/strange" to bother....
The view from the patio doors would make you feel, forever, like a squatter in their back garden, being stared at from their 2-storey house as you sit in your little "shed".
Here it is.
Go here, then go up in the sky and you should be able to see it.

No it's not got the swimming pool, that's a garden behind it.
The details make no mention of parking at all, but the Google images all show a car parked there, so I bet it'd suffer from all sorts of people parking on that spot/blocking the access randomly.0 -

If you're the builder, you get to do the choosing .... but to then be a buyer of it, it's seen with entirely different eyes.0
