I doubt there is any flood insurance! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I expect too much but if I was paying that kind of money I'd want things a bit more special inside. And those lovely PVC doors and windows? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuthound Posted September 7, 2020 Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 This is for sale near me. https://canalsideproperty.uk/property/tamworth-road-amington-3/ The one next door to it is also for sale (which also has a longer potential mooring). https://www.burchelledwards.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-details?r=TAM203899&src=1&searchType=buy&branchId=1632&radius=5.0&maxPrice=400000&includeSSTC=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter X Posted September 7, 2020 Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 Aaaargh, don't tempt me. That 6 bed semi at Shillingford looks great, but it isn't Croydon. No waterside properties here, no waterway. They closed our canal in 1836 and the river Wandle doesn't cut it. And, while I could contemplate a house upgrade and I'm in the midst of some serious financial planning, my accountant would have kittens if I suggested going for a £1.500,000 house; a complex thing to aim for.

Peter X Posted September 7, 2020 Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 But that Tamworth house has a dining hall! According to the Property details. At 9' wide I think that's rather a grand description, but it becomes a dining Room on the floor plan. It would be a tight squeeze to get my big dining table and its 8 chairs in there. But then it's rather tight in my existing house, and the most I've had to dinner here yet, since I got my table back (another off-topic story), is 5 including three small grandchildren. Whoever turns up last for dinner at that front door in Tamworth would have to be seated at that end. These topics about properties are the gift that keeps on giving; there's always something daft in a property ad to make fun of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter X Posted September 7, 2020 Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 (edited) I see that bedroom one is an "irregular shaped room". Actually the floor plan shows it's an L-shaped room. One of my favorite films, that. Edited September 7, 2020 by Peter X corrected a typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard T Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 This house at Barrow upon Soar has a 61ft mooring. It is rather public as its on the other side of the road to the houseit also lacks security. https://alexanders-estates.com/property-for-sale/barrow-upon-soar/le12-8na/1809414 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're in West End they're worth a look - it's a most attractive part of town, with a lane which narrows down to a footpath. Convenient for services, blah blah. We looked at this location before buying our house in Upwell. According to our friend Firesprite, it comes with its own semi-resident mentally ill burglar, which may be something of a discouragement.

jetzi Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 Living in the Fens would be great. One question though would be what happens during floods? As I understand it the whole area has to be carefully navigated because the water levels are liable to change often and dramatically - is it even possible to have a permanent mooring on the Nene? My understanding is that you still need to pay CaRT rent when you moor at the end of your garden, if it's a river you have riparian rights and don't need to pay anyone. Is that right?

Is that right? As far as mooring is concerned that is correct, you will have to get permission from EA to construct a mooring and you will have to pay a boat registration fee to have your boat on the water. It is possible to have a mooring on the Nene / Gt Ouse but it does have to be well built to allow for water level changes. You also now need a registration/licence on the Middle Level but riparian rights apply there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that difficult to do - would you need plans and things or is it just a case of getting a thumbs up? A gold license would cover mooring on EA waters and MLN right? My family is all in East Anglia so the Fens is actually not a bad base for me. @Dav and Pen do you have any more info on those four properties? To be completely honest I am probably just dreaming, the bank manager would have to be in a very good mood to lend me enough to buy any sort of house I think, let alone one with water frontage and one with a mooring, but still no harm in dreaming.
