House for sale.... Interesting extra in the garden!!

[Elderflower14]

HERE

If it’s decently underpriced for the area then it wouldn’t bother me at all and I’d consider it a good deal - but then, I spend the average weekend snorting substances up my nose which could have come from anywhere, so whilst there may be an elevated risk to a pylon in the garden, it certainly wouldn’t be the riskiest aspect of my life.

@Forshorttheycallmecomp

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

The pylon is bad enough but you're near the apex of two motorways as well

Blimey !

small bank? 🙄 meant to say ‘like this one but….’

I didn't realise Southaton was so expensive. 350,000 for two beds and a shower room...and a fizzing pylon. Yikes.

I wonder what came first?

That’s mad. Just mad.

Gosh no. Living near a pylon has a significant risk of increased cancers -

And more so depending on your age or wind direction to the pylon.

Why you would select a house which increases your risk of cancers for a whopping price tag like that is beyond me. And that’s before the aesthetics.

@IsThePopeCatholic

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

On the listing there is a map of the street plots, looks as though plot 59b was left empty, until someone decided wow this would make a ideal site for a home for people who don’t value their brains, or want a view.

I wouldnt live there personally but could they not improve the house? It's a shit layout to start with, then you add in that pylon and I'd be amazed they get more than £25 for it. I mean 25 quid too not 25k

@ComtesseDeSpair I like your honesty

@viques 🤣

I’m amused by the £350k price tag, with the pylon and the rather dated decor

My childhood friend had a pylon in her back garden. We camped right next to it and at night it made the freakiest fizzing crackling sound!

Amazed it’s allowed. Linked to childhood cancers ( scientifically not just in a daily Mail article)

Have you actually read the article you linked to or just selected sentences?

My friend had a place with a substation and that was bad enough. It was noisy, impossible to sell, and they ended up in negative equity.

That sent a shiver up my spine when I clicked on it, as if you'd linked to a massive photo of a spider. I couldn't live anywhere near that.

Can't believe the price. I wouldn't pay £35k let alone £350k to live with that in the garden.

It would be a very hard no from me even if there was also a free oil well round the back.

Hope they get a good phone signal

This is bizarre, how is it even safe?
I can't imagine being desperate enough to pay £350000 for this. It's a shame though as it's a nice house otherwise.

Surely electricity pylons have nothing to do with mobile phone reception? Aren't mobile phone masts something completely separate, or do they mount them in pylons?

Either way that price is crazy. And the street view screengrab looks so much more appealing than the EA photo. Madness through and through.

I thought this thread would be about a grave. Quite honestly, I'd prefer the grave

Um, you do?!

What’s the double height thing in the back garden? There’s a clothes prop on the lower line but I can’t see how you’d reach clothes on the upper line. Is there a pulley system?
