No mooring though.

And when an agent says "The property has potential in abundance with the possibility of transforming this into a beautiful home (STPP)" you have to wonder what state its in!

I thought that was a little peculiar...

 

No mooring, as you say, but very cute and presumably you could rent a mooring on the Avon somewhere nearby. Not really the point of this thread though, otherwise it would just be the  "Another property for sale" thread, which could get tedious...

Last time I saw the River Avon just over a week ago it was about half a mile wide, not a good place to be near

Mooring with the house. Might be a tad expensive.  😄

I'd worry about waking up feeling I was living through an episode of Twin Peaks in this room

Most peculiar of all is the thatch on the roof. It looks impossibly thin compared to the thatch on my own hovel and all those around here.

He really was unlucky that time he had only just come back to Evesham from the canals.

Congratulations!

I remember that being up for sale about 3 or 4 years ago.

Does the garden extend far enough along the canal from the tunnel that you get a mooring?

When we went north through the tunnel there was lots of landscaping going on. About a year or so later it went on the market. I though then that it would be a lovely home. Congrats Junior.

Whatever you do, don't close the door behind you when you go in there. It'll take 20 minutes to find the right door to get out again...

When the river's in flood that mobile home becomes a boat ! - have you noticed the flotation tanks under it ? (at least I think that's what they are)

Expect lots of second homes/holiday homes in Wales to come onto the market since there are proposals to increase rates on these by up to 300%.

Quite a few road accidents happen on the A5 there on the bridge. Was moored there once. In the morning A5 closed for helicopter to airlift people to hospital

Not much around you, but you can see the traffic on spaghetti junction.

Perhaps beware with this one at Compton, its apparently being sold with a 99 year lease, which hasn't yet been written up.   The moorings appear to have electricity, so maybe good for 99 years. Another upper floor one sold last year so assume there is a lease somewhere (Its approx £100 per month too I believe.)

£3.6 million gets you a view of the Islington Eco moorings!
