So - how to sell this delightful property? They didn't assign this one to the trainee.
Charming Home in Very Secluded Location. Extremely Leafy Outlooks. There are but a few locations where you feel detached from the modern world but can reach central London in under an hour, and this property is one of them! The only way this stunning home can be fully appreciated is by seeing it for yourself. Great for those who love to be surrounded by nature, with the peace and quiet disturbed only by the sound of birdsong ... Accessed on foot ...Actually, on a bad Saturday night there may be one or two other sounds disturbing the quiet, as the court pages of the local newspaper attest.
Extremely Leafy Outlooks: I shall savour that one for quite a while.

UPDATE: Jan asked about parking. See comments below - this, again from google earth, is the nearest answer. (That vehicle access is rougher than it looks in this shot)
How much of the woodland comes with it?
ReplyDeleteWhat's the prob with (i) putting a deer fence around the woodland, (ii) felling and poisoning the trees nearest the house, and (iii) buying a LandRover?
Bit too close to Croydon, thanks very much.
ReplyDelete@ How much of the woodland comes with it?
ReplyDeleteNone, dearieme - the grass you can see is the garden and it extends only to the garden fence
I haven't walked that way in a bit, but from memory you might just get a Land Rover in: Defender, mind, with no regard for paintwork
It isn't the Cronx crew that goes out there, Mr Cowshed (the trees spook them too much)
Still leaves* the New Addington posse.
ReplyDelete*Ha-ha.
They'd have to get all the ancestors out of the loft before they sell it.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a still from Killer Tree Apocalypse.
ReplyDeleteOne of Thud's lodges, isn't it ?
ReplyDeleteEK....if you can't see me out building walls its not mine!
ReplyDeleteOn the down side - completely inaccessible to emergency service and delivery vehicles; if it burns, it burns.
ReplyDeleteOn the upside - completely inaccessible to emergency service vehicles. Suit cannabis grower using low-heat signature LED lighting. Wolves can be introduced.
Yes. I'd want a wall in that locale - a bloody high one with barbed wire atop and a couple of Rottweilers.
ReplyDeleteRaedwald - I bet Cliff Richard wishes he'd bought it.
ReplyDelete............but what will people do if there's nowhere to park?
ReplyDelete(From my experience of selling, parking is the all important requisite when buying a house apparently)
Jan - down the slope from this property is a cluster of Victorian workman's cottages around a track that does permit of parking under the trees - see pic in update
ReplyDeletethe whole area used to be a sand quarry, the last remnants of which were stll operational when I were a lad
