manthing Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 It's strange init. A house in London or 250 acres and a barn to convert near Stafford or this. You'd have to drag me kicking and screaming into London but the other 2 would do nicely ta very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retsdon Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 I've stopped now, but for a while in Saudi when I'd been over- indulging in Mrs. R's home-made wine I got in the habit of perusing estate agent's sites for the sort of places I'd fancy buying if the Euro millions ticket came in. I remember that Rothimay and Netherdale estates, both with top notch beats on the Deveron, came on the market within a short space of time and I would just revisit the brochures repeatedly like a porn addict until each was sold. As I say I've stopped now because I don't think that kind of self-indulgent fantasizing is at all healthy in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was amazed at how cheap some houses and 15000 acres was, for the price of a detached house in Surrey. you get grouse and rough shooting, deer stalking and game fishing, [enough to see some of us old farts going until we are too old to care]. half a dozen like minded people could sell their ex council flats in Stepney and have 2500 acres each, enough to build a modest house and eek out a living panning for gold and allowing the occasional tourist to park his camper van..😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyefor Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 Slightly off tangent....that is the first time ever that I have read any Estate Agents sales sheet - and believed it. Excellent write up from someone who obviously knows the Estate and it's potential. Euromillions ticket bought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
