messerschmitt owner Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 well, this is what I bought last Friday, hopefully. I'm getting less and less excited about house buying nowadays as I realise that they can all slip through! Has a small double garage, two workshops plus an office in the outbuildings! and off road parking for seven vehicles - or even more if they get rid of the stonking huge yacht in the front driveway! That'll be fun!!!! has an OK garden Mine for more money than I have ever spent in my life - thank you bank of mum and dad!
brickwall Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Nice, and well worth showing off! Outbuildings look adequate, I suppose
messerschmitt owner Posted October 3, 2012 Author Posted October 3, 2012 Nice, and well worth showing off! Outbuildings look adequate, I suppose it's the selling of a house in Causewayhead that's helping buy it - just back from Stirling clearing it out - four days, four skips ...
michiel Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Nice house & garden - we didn't drive beyond Monmouth (from Chepstow) but I suppose it's comparable to the countryside there?
messerschmitt owner Posted October 3, 2012 Author Posted October 3, 2012 the scenery is nicer - it's a small village of about 1000 people with a good pub and is on the side of a valley so some great walks and views. The Forest of Dean is absolutely stunning and still cheap in real terms for houses, certainly in comparison to the other side of the Severn.
michiel Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Sounds great! If I lived around there I'd probably drive to Raglan Castle every weekend, I think it was my favourite - nice cafe with great soup next door as well.
skattrd Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Looks very nice, hopefully it all goes through for you. Off road parking for 7 cars ... what's that in XM's 4?

ashmicro Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 That looks brilliant, nice one. Hope it all goes smoothly.
Micrashed Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Very Nice, though sadly I would be looking at the outbuilding and thinking "Hmmm, nice self contained flat for my son there".
Guest Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Drat, I was hoping this would be a thread about someone who lives in a right rubbish old car. There was a bloke used to live in a van near me.
whitevanman Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 We spend a fortnight every year near Monmouth, one of the areas we are thinking about moving to in a couple of years time...
Conrad D. Conelrad Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Whoa, that is nice. All that parking, and some house with it too. Just saw the asking price on Rightmove, you'd get nothing with outbuildings round here for that
Spiny Norman Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Looks well smart, hope it all goes through OK. The housing market up here has totally collapsed, we've got a small shite flat that's been on the market over a year without a sniff.
RobT Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 I hope it all goes through Campbell, house and land looks a corker!
ProgRocker Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Very nice house indeed. Ample off road parking, garaging and workshops are mandatory for all shiters.
RedSparrow Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Nice. So will you be filling the garden with old motors to return to earth or simply tarmacking the whole lot for more shite parking?

The housing market up here has totally collapsed, we've got a small shite flat that's been on the market over a year without a sniff. Sold a house in Stirling hopefully for a grand less than the survey valuation with 20 viewings in three weeks. Price and location are still everything. I made an offer £35000 less than the asking price on the new house. You can't buy that kind of house in Gloucester for less than 300k
