What is nightmare-ish about that?On the other hand, this is a nightmare that doesn't look knackered: https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/145726619#/...
Look at this beauty

M20 and the high speed link on your doorstep, and you won't get planning on the plot.

Gets a bit floody from time to time, I think?
I wondered that, but you could say that about any house within a few metres of a river and it looks quite high up and it has an alleviation system etc so while I would want to go through all the documents relating to floods very carefully it doesn't seem like a big problem to me.Mr Penguin said:

Such a beautiful stretch of fresh water for tranquil, traditional boating and some caravanning, used car sales, coiffured douchebag plonks a big plastic Bullseye prize on it like it's the Essex riviera.
If there was a county award for losing its way then Yorkshire would have 25 gold rosettes stretching back 25 years. It might as well rebrand as Temu-Wonga and let the name Yorkshire to rest in peace.

I actually quite like it. Can't explain why.
But, man, the layout. The layout!
(Clearly there's a self-contained airbnb extension to the left, but that doesn't fully explain it...)

I guess the fundamental shape has been set by the landscape. The living room bit was probably the original garage and workshop/stores and given they've put a front door on it I suspect they were planning to eventually turn it into holiday let space once they got permission or no one was looking. The holiday let on the other side was probably so form of outhouse originally. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/146203652#/...

I imagine the internal walls of the original part are probably all stud and have been moved around to create as many rooms as possible.
It's a great part of the world if you happen to like that sort of lifestyle and I imagine even though it's on the wrong side of the water the holiday rental side is pretty robust. Would be tempting to just remodel the core for nice sized spaces for just two people and run the limbs either side as holiday lets although the lack of cooking space implies it's been a B&B originally?

Slightly close!
I was going to post that depending on where and how the line ran it could be an opportunity for someone to bag a nice home and just wait the 20 years for the line to become normalised but that image you've added changes that opinion!
It looks like the line will be elevated at that point as the road looks to be set to pass under it. I reckon all those properties are ruined just so a handful of Brummies who haven't worked out what a f
king telephone is or how to operate a car can travel to London with messages of no importance. I genuinely don't understand the upside of linking either of those cities together. Let alone why you'd spoil nice countryside when Buckinghamshire has a raft of towns crying out to be flattened in the middle of the night. HS2 could have zigzagged through multiple towns and tidying them up with an armada of JCBs and wrecking balls.

It's actually a cutting there, but it runs hard next to the furthest house you see in picture 1. There's plenty of work going on hereabouts for the next, what, 10 years or so I guess.
Fortunately we're over a hill to the South about 2 miles away.
Being a cutting is a small mercy at least. 10 years to be done and another 10 years before it starts to look like it has always been there. You'd think a buyer would wish for a very hefty discount for that 20 year plan to come to fruition?Fortunately we're over a hill to the South about 2 miles away.
