I had just looked for a link relating to Brian's previous post to find out more. There were two, and it seems I posted the wrong one. It's back on sale tomorrow with a reduced starting price: https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/121996931#/?channel=COM_BUY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchcrawler Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 Some time a go a boater contacted me about the site asking if I knew if CRT would give end of garden moorings on a building site while he build a house, that was when I was moored at Park Farm so 2 or 3 years back. There use to be a caravan on the site at one time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On looking more closely it seems to be seriously small at 218 square metres, so that's probably the reason. That would be a plot about 15m or 45ft square. Tiny for a house that size!

It's very much the norm for a new detached house. A lot of people really arent interested in a big garden. This plot would accomodate a 2 storey house with a footprint c.100sqm and a total floorspace of 200sqm (more with a converted loft) which is a big house. This would leave space for a couple of parking spaces in the front and a garden at the back. That's what a good proportion of buyers would want. If it's not selling, there's likely to be another problem (something noisy or smelly next door, for example). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few problems with this site. The A road will be busy and noisy and it also means that the cars will need to leave forwards, which means most of the garden is taken up with manoevring space for the cars. The shape of the plot is pretty awkward. MtB had implied it was square, but it's far from that. If you're desperate for a new build and a mooring, then you might be interested, but most people will be looking elswhere, which will keep the price down. A 15 x 15m square plot would be a pretty decent size for a new build house like this. Many get built on far smaller plots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slow and Steady Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) And don't assume the planned house would even fit on the plot. One of my neighbours bought a plot with PP and house planned needed 6ft of the neighbours garden! The builder had to redesign it on the fly and loosing 6ft width ruined it. The neighbours refused to relinquish 6ft of garden for any price even though that part was bramble infested wasteland they never used. They also lost part of their front garden where a planned wall would have made my vehicle access impossible. Total up-cock. Luckily the builder hadrare common sense, he knocked on the door, explained he'd been asked to build a wall blocking my access, said he wasn't going to do it and asked me how much room I needed to get in and out.

My story gets even funnier later. The people who bought the plot and had the house built, didn't like the reduced version. They rented it out for a few years then sold it. The next owners then bought that missing 6ftof land for side access for peanuts - I guess the original people must have pissed them off!

Looking at the scale of the other houses i'd have said that plot you've outlined was closer to 1000 sq metres than the 218 the agent says. But I meant the £70k looks like a reasonable price if buying it for use as a mooring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtB Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 Thanks for the photo Dora. What a bleak and miserable looking site. I'm not surprised it hasn't sold. The photo gives a much better sense of scale, and what a cramed site it is for a house of that size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all you can see. Behind the bank there seems to be a series of 'chemical lakes', presumably for a nearby chemical works? In all, it's bloody horrid. I would not want a mooring there. Or a house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noddyboater Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 Speaking of grassy banks and views.. One of the best mooring spots on the Ashby about to be ruined, Stoke Golding bend below the village. How this got planning is anyone's guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
