Climbing frame?

Ready made support for a gazebo!

No lol. Clearly a electrical grid thing

You could practice chin ups on it I guess? Attach a swing? Trx bands?

There was a very recent thread with this very topic

You couldn’t actually pay me money to live in a house with a pylon in the garden

Useful for hanging your washing on!

You won't need a washing line.

Went to view a house with a pylon years ago - it fizzed slightly when it rained, according to the owner...

Seems like a very optimistic price considering.

They do make fizzing sounds. Could hang a few pots to make it more appealing maybe

Wow and it’s still £350K?!?

No mention of it in the description.

I was wondering if they get a fee for having it there.

Jesus Christ, that's insane. £350k too!!! I'd feel like my brain was being fried. Isn't there a theory about them causing cancers? They're quite noisy too, aren't they? You couldn't pay me to live in that house.

What?! I didn't know this was even a legal thing to do, I'm shocked (not a pun).

They make a horrible buzzing noise. I'm terrified of the bloody things!

I wonder which came first - the pylon or the house? I’d be terrified of that thing near my house.

Don’t forget, if the humming of the pylon gets too much, there’s a motorway at the bottom of the back garden.

They should get 'rent' from the electricity board, this might be paid annually, or it might have been a lump sum. They do fizz when it's drizzling. We had one about 60mtrs away. When they eventually got round to taking it down (cables had been buried) the footprint was tiny, just sort of 6"x6" concrete squares. It only took about 1/2 day. After about 10 days you couldn't see where it had been.

It's only been sold once before in 2014...!

I grew up in a house with a pylon at the back but it was 3 gardens distance away. It did fizz in certain weather.
Eventually all the pylons were dismantled and the cables went underground
I would hate to have that right in the front.

I remember that thread, I think I may have been the first one to comment that they make a noise! Very inappropriate to build a house like that.

350k?????? I wouldn’t live there if it was free!

I was wondering this too. Maybe the electricity company paid the owners at the time a whole shitload of money to let them put it there.

I don't think there's any sum of money I'd accept to live with that in my garden though.

I'm amazed that it's allowed to be so close to the house.

With fuel bills going up someone with entrepreneurial skills could attach a couple of jump leads to it and then the others to the fuse box and hey presto, cheap leccy. I know a sparky. Might book a viewing!
