Chicheley Hall

Another lovely stately family home on the market. What a shame, it's only had two families living in it and is one of my favourite houses. Found it on Rightmove. (bit over my bracket though!). Near Stagsden in Bedfordshire.

Any chance of a link (or picture...), Joss?

ps The Shed is now open for the summer; I'm planting a flower bed in front of it.

Etc etc.

Quite nice, but I'm not ready to move downmarket quite yet :wink:

Just down the road from me, a lovely house which has been well cared for.

Just out of my price range as well, do you think I'd be able to get a 1000% mortgage in the current climate :wink:

Well, if Marcus considers it OK...

then maybe I might consider it.

There are certainly some dreamy houses around------ if we all wait long enough, the bottom of the market will fall out and then-------------.

Still, what concerns me is the future of a property like that, who willl take it on and how soon?

 

[Nemesis]

It's been on the market for some months, and I think the price has reduced.

Someone will take it on, in time.

Oh, go on. Get an idea of how we poor folk have to live.

The smell of parsnips isn't so bad, once you get used to it.

Gourmet stuff, parsnips!
