My parents and I were staying nearby earlier this week and drove past this ugly thing. Its not in keeping with the surrounding properties (see pics 5 and 20). Also this isn't on any of the photos, the sign 'The Lodge' which on an engraved stone looks like its taken from an old house as the sign looks 100+ years old and made from different stone. The sign is built into the brick wall by the driveway. How on earth did it pass planning permission? I bet the old property that had used the same house name stone was very nice and in keeping too.
On Streetview, its not located in the right place. What you need to do is to rotate the image so a green and grey 'for sale' board is on your right by a grey stone cottage and the road sign is on the left and click on the road going up twice. You then see a mini roundabout and the plot where its built is by the greeny blue Rover car is.
Just had another look. Pic 19, is good example of why this property is going to have problems. There isn't much room around the 'tree holes' for the trees to grow.I have no idea how much trees of that age grow, but I reckon 25-40 years.
Because of this, some mortgage providers may not give a mortgage for this. Plus its price of £700k. It will be standing empty for some time.
If I had that sort of money to buy a property, this is much better. http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-24634686.html Though I would spend a good chunk of that £55k saving on doing up the kitchen and making it a country house kitchen. The current kitchen does not look right for the house. Kitchen will look great in newer properties.
Also putting a bathroom in on Bed 4, as the other bedrooms have en-suites and there is no family bathroom.0 -
. I foresee issues with those oak trees in future.
I was about to crack acorn-y joke here, but decided to phytopthora the urge.
Diseases permitting, I think the oaks will probably be there long after those who might shell out for the pods have become pea'd off with the whole concept. :cool:0 -

If they think that's not for the faint hearted, goodness only knows what they'd have made of our current abode That looks like a walk in a very leafy, attractive park by comparison, lol :rotfl: I only wish the historic EA details were still available online

The old church and big house in pictures 2 and 3 are at least a mile away.
In the street view, if you travel west for a few hundred yards, the apartments have been built on the site of the pub "The Chester Arms" on the right just by the busy junction and next door to Farmfoods.0 -
