This is in my neck of the woods and unless I’m missing something presents something of a bargain I’d say!

Nice area perhaps a bit busy now in the summer but a great pub to make up for that.

That's bloody lovely.

Exactly the sort of thing I want as my 'semi retirement' home - easy division for a B&B wing for some semi-passive income, and loads of gardens/veg/workshops to spend my days pottering.

Neighbours close as is the A road.

Final pic (plan of plot) seems to imply you don't get some of the buildings? Otherwise perfect to retire into.

It would do for me despite the neighbours and the silly price and it being on the Northern Line.

That is crushingly disappointing for the money and the iconic nature of the building. Terrible thing.

Agreed, really dull, nice ice rink but wouldn't give you threepence for the flat.

Small (very), but nicely done. Crying out for a modest extension, I'd say.

Yes, to the three-year lease

Yes, I saw, but clearly £250K for 3 years isn't happening, so I was wondering what the angle was. Will there be a hefty chunk on top for a lease extension, or what exactly?

It’s a mobile home so I imagine leases are usually quite short but renewable.

Not sure how you extend a caravan?

My first thought was owner is off travelling and wants this to finance it.

“Our seller is flexible on lease period of 3 years and please note the property is NOT Freehold.”

Some optimist has built that in their back garden, and would now like to sell it without actually selling it. They’d be better off renting it out I suppose, but seem to want a large cash injection instead.

It looked to me like a holiday let in a former life, with someone getting out of that business. There's a lot around at the moment.

In what way does that work, £250,000 to "rent" 600 odd sq feet for 3 years (£7000 a month), madness.

The location isn't great. It’s nowhere near anything else of interest without a long walk/annoyingly busy bridges over the river, or a branch line of the tube.

For that amount you buy a lot of flat in a proper part of town.

Funnily enough, I thought it was a branch line too but it seems that nearly every other goes that way, at least at the weekend.

Which would maybe make me think incoming development next door.

Gutted by fire in 2006 and completely rebuilt. I can’t begin to imagine the insurance claim.

Armed with sketches, the family then approached the Hungarian architecture firm Hello Wood to turn the design into a reality.

Where did the sketches come from? Designed by a 12 year old, turned into reality with help from architects. Pedantic Pit Pony.

That'll do, the best that has been posted for a very long time for me, wonderful place they can leave all the furniture and soft furnishings as well.

Some lucky buyer has by the looks of it! It’s a lovely village too, with Broadway and Chipping Campden down the road. A cracking house in a beautiful part of the world.
