Yes but would you want to live next door to Howard

 

[maltrab]

In the sales listing they say it was Howard & Pearls house

If you watch the video it is Howard & Pearls house

[Graham]

In that case, yes, I'd love Cleggy as a neighbour! At least you can move in knowing that the windows are clean!

 

[maltrab]

One major issue at my age, from the kitchen you have two flights of stairs to the loo

 

[Peripheral]

HEY, Manwinoname, the agent for this property has an office in Slaithwaite where you live. Will you pop in there and put a £1.50 P deposit on it and we can all move in!!!.

 

[Barrychuckle]

Perhaps every member of the site should chip in £500 and we could collectively buy it and turn it into a shrine/museum

But seriously if someone were to buy that and turn it into an AirBnB rental I reckon they could make a fortune.

 

[Peripheral]

You are right Barry. A fortune there, that is if you have already got one big enough to buy the place .
How are you feeling today?

Video is interesting looks like the front door and porch are totally as they were when they filmed that same dark wood but then the dramatic change is what was the living room where countless coffee mornings were held and where Howard plotted his escapes is now the kitchen , really strange . The garden and rear of the property look totally different . The bedroom on the first floor where Howard was incarcerated I assume is the living room so he'd have no chance of escaping through the window as he has tried many times. Assume the five bar gate at the end leads through to the B & B that was posted in another thread . The White Horse would be nice walk down to for a pint and a bite to eat but stagger back up the hill on Scholes Road at closing time wouldn't be great.

 

[Graham]

I can still see Howard by the stairs whispering into the phone, at least that & the inside porch are 'as was'.

I don't know why it is grade II listed. It might put off buyers as they will be limited to what they can modify.

 

[Peripheral]

Good point there Roger. The only thing I would change would be to have a letter box and a door handle fitted. I still don't know how the occupants received their mail.

 

[Glenda]

There is a letter box but not where you'd expect it to be. Did anyone else spot it in the estate agent's pictures?

 

[Barrychuckle]

House prices have gone crazy, nice location but basically a 2 bed mid terrace which needs some serious cosmetic changes and it's nearly £300k

Is it that grey box outside ??

Could you imagine Compo after winning a few bob on the horses going into the estate agent and asking the price

It's absolutely riddled with stoneworm too!

 

[maltrab]

When Cleggies was sold the buyer spent a lot of money due to rotten timbers, so a very good survey would be required

 

[Glenda]

Probably but there also appears to be a letter box in the door between the lounge and the garden room.
