I lived in Kegworth as a teenager and used to deliver papers to this property - the owners always tipped well at Christmas. In my opinion the bungalow was spoilt when the pitched roof were added. As a flat roofed property it had really nice crisp lines with a hint of art deco. Kegworth carnival and traction engine rally used to be held on the adjoining meadow. The house is well above the flood level.

Probably been on here before.

Wowie zowie! BOAM (Bring Out Another Million). Where was it?

As an aside, what is the correct name for the leather-topped fireguard around the open fire? I've a notion that it's a club something-or-other.

There's a lovely house on Creampot Close, Cropredy (one of those big semi's on the left-hand side above the lock) just appeared on Rightmove, but alas out of our price range.

Is it one of the places where the residents have whinged about moored boats running engines, making smoke etc?

 

ETA Just read post #146!

Eaton Hastings, Oxon. Aka the thinner bendy Thames bit.

 

And it's a club fender I think.

Pete Townsend had a few of those but they all broke.

Have to pass on this as we haven’t got enough furniture.

One of the row used to have a mooring cut into the garden at right angles to the canal. The people kept a short (25 foot-ish I'd guess) narrowboat in it. You can still see where the bank was reinstated after they left.

 

Can you claim that as a one boat marina, and pay CRT 9% of the going mooring rate, rather than the 50% for an EOG mooring?

That's been for sale for a long time - over a year at least. (The reference JGA/311017 at the bottom of the ad may indicate when it was first put up for sale.) And the price hasn't moved in the time I have been aware of it.  It did have planning permission to convert into a house, but that has now expired.

The sale prospects probably aren't helped by it having one branch of HS2 passing a little way to the north and another a short distance to the south.

Yes, that's it, thanks.

I'd very much doubt it, as the properties back on to the canal and their back gardens must be a good thirty yards long.

[roland elsdon]

Opposite the 24 hr moorings above the lock. So probably not too much engine running.

Mooring not big enough for us.

cant see point of spending 250 years of mooring fees plus an annual eog fee on a house.

I once moored there a few years ago and saw a sign asking boaters to limit engine running for the benefit of residents.

Correct. Signs still there.

That's the place that used to sell eggs from the landing stage, but you couldnt get in as it had never been dredged.

If I'm understanding the map correctly, the house is quite close to the main road, and it then has a very long narrow garden down to the canal. And presumably a short mooring.

Yes. The house at the end of the road looks a more appealing location.

looks to be about 50' from Google Earth - depends how accommodating your neighbours are whether you could get a full length in there.
