That's clever, if you don't want the front part rendered, it is £5K cheaper?

Or for half the price, you can get a three bed property in an established part of town - https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/142335722#

Right next to a beautiful big park too. The new houses seem to be part of a sprawling 600 house estate next to the dual carriageway on the outskirts of town. 

Not sure what happened to Ashington to make nice property like this only £88,000. What a bargain 

Closure of the colliery I believe. Furthermore whilst regeneration has been successfully for Newcastle, Tynemouth etc Ashington is probably to far out to feel the benefit.

Is it a house? Is it a boat?

So wonderfully eccentric. I can see kitchen units made from recycled pallets, bookshelves from tree trunks. Mannequins. Hobbit doors.

I'm glad there are creative people like this in the world

Never seen such an honest seller/ agent combo as to put this in the description “ Agents Note

The owners are very serious above selling but they aren't prepared to move into rented accommodation, so a prospective buyer will have to wait for then to find a suitable property to buy.”

That's wonderful! It reminds me of the description of the boat that Mr Peggoty lived in from David Copperfield.

Well loved house.

What is that at the foot of the bath, picture 12?

I see the statues face is blurred out in pic 15. One has to protect the identity of the statue.

The house is set into a bank, so on the ground floor only doors at the front.

The only direct access to the back, is steps down onto the ships deck from the 2 loft bedrooms. My guess is they were the children's rooms and much fun was had on that "boat"

This house went on the market in March for 500K and a few days after it came to rightmove I called the agent and was to -ld they had 30 enquiries about it already. Then I called a week later and was told the sale agreed. Now it is back to rightmove with 600K price tag. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/132236258#/?channel=RES_BUY

Next door went on the market in December 2023 as well but I can’t find the price. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/house-prices/details/england-141229628-45077322?s=7a7fca48cf4ae87cf656227914b304d19a990fd07564f8721d885524bf50950c#/

Next door house is showing as 'under offer' with an asking price of £775K. Seems reasonable to be asking for £600K for next door.

I wouldn't touch either.  The houses are over on the right albeit behind the council offices.  But this is currently the road to the council offices.

I hope so. Just noticed that the only heating and hot water is from the log burner. So bet those kids were hardy sea dogs! Oo-aaarrrgh. Shiver me timbers

Currently = late afternoon on the 4th of January. That night, approach to the house across the road from us looked like this:

Storm Henk flooding was pretty spectacular.
