CRT have also just sold the property next door to the one currently for sale at Hillmorton.

More family silver going going gone................

[sueb]

Wait for the planning application to modernise it. A bit less for the Cart history person to have to deal with.

[grahoom]

be interesting to see what lot 187 goes for.

Definitely,

 

Thats space for 3 x average narrowboat moorings, water and power cannot be far away so for less than about £8k each a mooring with parking and room for a shed or two, thats at a price of only a couple or three of years marina payments !

Absolute bargain. Who wants to join together and buy it ?

I'd have a very quiet word with a tame CRT bod first because as soon as word got out that mooring would be permitted you could add a nought to the site value.

It will perhaps appeal to someone wishing to build a waterside house - quarter of an acre is a pleasant-sized plot for a house. Much depends on whether planning permission is possible of course. Mains services can't be much of a problem if there's a residential road behind it.

[luctor et emergo]

A house will be build, or maybe even flats. Moorings will be restricted soon after, following complaints from the new rezidentz

[dor]

I wonder what sort of access there is? It only says that there is a right of way - that could be on foot only on a footpath.

Bit of a history of flooding in that area, I'd not be surprised if the planners stopped any building at all. Being a cynic, I'd suggest the only reason that land is being sold in this way is because no builders wanted it before now.

News ,

I have asked

 

Mooring more than likely allowed.......no residential they object to it !

 

Might be worth a punt now

I see lot 187 went for £28000.

Hillmorton lot 188 "sold prior", when I see this I think of the mock auctions on the Blackpool sea front.

Oh good your about! Cotswoldman has been trying to contact you about the folk it seems have set up camp on the towpath at Hilmorton.

Piloted by Ni.... ? Anyway I thought they snatched you via their stealth boat or have they sold that as well?

[tafelberg]

They sold the old mill opposite us and now there are some not very nice houses.

[The Pipe]

The idea now seems to be now to have no assets, that does not only apply to the waterways but to the whole commercial world as well.

Called selling the family silver I think.

[dor]

Another canalside property, albeit on the towpath side, near Anderton. Jackson's Turn, a lengthsman's cottage. Way overpriced in view of the amount of work that needs doing, but that is not unusual for ex-BW properties. Also, again like many ex-BW properties, there may well be issues over access. Whilst there is a track leading to it, these often have no right of way for a vehicle.

 

Currently 'under offer'

passed Wardle Lock Cottage today as well, - looking rather sad, clearly never been lived in since being sold.

Absolutely tempting, except that we don't want to move to the North West. It will make a lovely home for somebody, though.
