Property porn, 150k bargain

[VivaLeBeaver]

I want it

[Awks]

So do I. Imagine the parties.

[VivaLeBeaver]

There's a river in our village. I could moor it there and have gin fuelled flapper parties on the roof.

[pancakesfortea]

No mooring though - that's the expensive bit...

[MoreBeta]

Remedial work is required to the hull and you have to provide your own mooring. Both could be expensive.

It the Balliol college (Oxford) barge. My college (Corpus Christi) also had one. A student lived on it and had to maintain it as part of his rent.

[Pimpf]

Wow. How fab is that

[VivaLeBeaver]

One of my friends has mooring rights outside her house and no boat.....I could do a deal!

[GemmaTeller]

Wow

[Awks]

am lol'ing at the Oxford college rent barge deal. Didn't have that at Leeds Met :o)

[TunipTheUnconquerable]

Old boat maintenance makes old house maintenance seem almost a rational way to spend one's money. It is a hole in the water into which you will pour fifty pound notes.
Very, very beautiful though.

[PatriciaHolm]

Fabulous. Another one, the old Jesus College barge, is now a restaurant -www.theboatatrichmondbridge.com/our-history/

Awks - we had a college tortoise as well.

You couldn't rent that but every year the undergraduates elected a tortoise keeper and they looked after it and in summer we had a tortoise fair and invited everyone in Oxford who had a tortoise to bring theirs. Many gentlemen tortoises met lady tortoises and many got lost in the shrubbery.

We also elected a Gardening Rep whose job it was to liaise with the college gardener.

I also notice one of the former students from my time is hoping to form the next Government.

[VivaLeBeaver]

Yeah it's probably not very practical.

I've had old cars and vans which have depleted my bank account very quickly.

[Dillydollydaydream]

Wow. Very cool

[VivaLeBeaver]

Its been for sale since Sept and was up for 195k. Bargain now!

[RandomMess]

Probably currently covered in raw sewage after the local flooding...

[VivaLeBeaver]

Euugh.

[LEMmingaround]

Wow that is quite possibly the bestest bit of property porn i have seen on here, well spotted viva :)

[ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged]

Wow!!! I want it.

We have lots of water up here, I'm sure I could find somewhere to keep it.

[puds11isNAUGHTYnotNAICE]

Holy shitballs that is amazing!

[VivaLeBeaver]

won't mention I saw it in the daily mail first

[ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged]

Oh viva! Why did you confess that?! You've just lost all your MN credit.

[VivaLeBeaver]

I love a bit of sleb gossip. I don't read any right wing news. I just want to know what Kim Kardashian and Baby Cowell are up to. Is that so wrong?

[ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged]

Is that so wrong?

What are you doing woman? Do you want to be hounded out?!

I do the same

[VivaLeBeaver]

I think most of MN do.

[OnePlanOnHouzz]
