I am technologically challenged but hopefully this allows you to find the web page:-

Looks like a fascinating house.

PS Where is Nemesis, she usually posts this stuff?

Nigel - check your PMs.

Looks like a wonderful house.

What troubles me is the amount of freely available information on the house; almost cataloguing the features for wouldbe tea leafs.

Nigel, Nemesis already linked to it on the 2nd september. It is on the save buildings at risk page. It is the one of the BOMs. 8)

I did indeed 'marm. It was a long held 'PPUK poster agreement' that when the time eventually came it was to be sold, it would be given as much publicity as possible, in order that it gets the best possible price and hopefully a sympathetic buyer.

So yes it's SAVE BoM, and Times today. Wish I had the cash! Magnificent.

Marcus has done us proud again. Wonder what has happened to the Peel next door to Frank he featured recently?

Well, seems I wasn't 'genteel 'enough for the likes of Family Wiggs, Nigel. Didn't like my 'attitude'.

There are other places to post for those of us serious and knowledegable about historic buildings. So we do.

The obligatory smiley:

Sounds like everyone's a winner then.

Good.

BTW, I won't start it all again, but can you see just a teensy weensy bit of overbearing arrogance in that post that people might think unbecoming? Dunno - maybe I'm just too genteel.

Obligatory smiley: :roll:

 

[Nemesis]

Oh - actually some folks thought that the teensy weensy overbearing arrogance came from you, but clearly not.
They were obviously wrong. I will pass the message on.

PS - although some think the site isn't what it was - so clearly not all think everyone's a winner.

 

[FamilyWiggs]

You're too kind.

I suggest we go back to ignore mode. Life's too short to worry about these things.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Shame though, used to be an interesting site, as one person put it - it's turned into Period Living mag. I think that's being too kind.

The house is wonderful, and it is most interesting to see historic background and sale details of a lovely house being given the opportunity to be brought back to life.Not the sort of property one would get to hear about unless you happen to be local to the area. Thank you PPUK subscriber for drawing our attention to the article.

How do you fancy rescuing a William & Mary grade 2 star house that hasn't been lived in for over 60 years?
