HERE

*in not on!

Fairly large climbing frame

@LemonViolet

Wow and it’s still £350K?!?

Yep...that's down South for you...

@Rivering

I dream of living in a home with a free pylon. Absolutely love them. Or a giant wind turbine.

Ah, I would actually pay extra for the wind turbine.

I dream of living on a house with a view for miles across the hills with visible wind turbines. (Maybe not in the front garden though)

@SnoozeAllDay

A couple of years ago on mumsnet there was a post about a house for sale that had an ex owner buried in the garden. It was stated in the particulars that there was a body buried and it was all legit

My MIL is insistent we bury her and FILs ashes in the garden of their house. We pointed out it would be sold. She said that was fine, nobody would mind. DH just smiled and nodded. Worryingly she is absolutely serious.

What advert is that @BamberGascoine

@SeaMeat

No mention of it in the description.

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

I was wondering that, too. Here they do pay you to have something like that in your yard.

I wonder if this was on the developers site plan when the houses were built! Or did the new owners get a surprise?

That's quite the combination.

Pylons. Maybe a wind farm.

Think of the non-stop acoustic disturbances. No privacy because the power companies would want 24/7 access. Extra insurance premiums because of the 24/7 and the inability to secure property boundaries. Mind, very few people would ever invite themselves to stay so it's swings and roundabouts.

@Porcupineintherough

Why would no lender grant a mortgage *@f0stercarer*?

its a fairly standard condition with mortgage lenders that dwellings within a certain distance of pylons will not be seen as suitabe security. I was a mortgage broker and used to come across it . I cant remember the usual distance eg 50 mts or 100 mts.

Same street.

Open a high wire and charge entrance? You’d probably have to provide rubber shoes, though.

Good find, OP, very entertaining! I've bookmarked it, to see if it ever sells and for how much!

I grew up in a crappy bungalow like that, I can't stand them. So flat and so bloody boring.

It's a shame about that house. I just walked the road on Street View and the bottom half of it is quite pretty. It was no absolutely no problem finding the one for sale, you can see that pylon from sodding Jupiter.

It's fascinating that someone ever bought it in the first place.

My daughter and I were walking in a field with pylons going through it. We both started jumping at the same time, we were getting mild shocks and the nearest one was about 400 yards away.

A few fairy lights to sex it up a bit and you’ll hardly know it’s there 😂

On the other hand simpsons theme tune and mental image of the three eyed fish

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

They do, I hear it when I'm on the school run. I like the sound

Or grow a lovely clematis up it. I understand they like a bit of extra heat.

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.

Same. My friend had one in her field which was opposite her house and it was very loud. I thought that was close enough. I'm not sure you could pay me to live there.

I think that might have been this one? metro.co.uk/2021/01/20/house-with-a-body-buried-in-the-garden-is-on-sale-for-125000-13932897/

I remember the thread, and looking at it again I still can't work out where they put him!!

It isn’t the pylons that fizz, it’s the high tension cables they support, and a good few of the houses in that development are also directly under or close to those.

The pylon itself is just an intrusive eyesore.

Good Lord! I used to do an epic walk along rapeseed fields with pylons: they hummed. That would drive me nuts. Where we live is silent, despite being very urban.

@autumnboys

No to the pylon and also no to the kitchen lay out. Awful.

And bedroom 1 doesn't have a window!

Was the house built after the pylon ?I know before 2008 there was such demand for property that people were selling off bits of their gardens otherwise why are the 2 so close ?

@MillieMoonbeam

£350,000 for that! - without the pylon!

Oh God… It looks like I’m stuck with DD, and her boyfriend staying over at weekends, forever! 🥺

How on earth can young people get a deposit together for a two bedroom, modest home these days?! 😩

Well… the current owners bought it. I guess they are banking on —some other idiot— someone else taking it off their hands at a ridiculous cost 🧐

It's an absolutely ridiculous price. My friend in Southampton bought a 4 bed detached for £360k last year. They're having a laugh with this listing.

That green fence makes all the difference.
You'd hardly know the pylon was there, would you? 🙄
