Will you be my neighbour?

The 'chateau' had just one neighbour - but old Jean-Jacques sadly passed away in January. He was born in  the old stone house and had lived there happily for over 80 years, his family having lived there before him.  Unrestored and crumbling it is now up for sale.



A huge rambling old "L" shaped 18th century building it has.......................
a pidgeonaire.................
barns, haylofts and outbuildings...............

...and archways where the horsedrawn haycarts of old would have passed through.


Two huge fields are now being reclaimed by nature so fast  that his few cows have gone too.

And the old doorways...........just divine.


It is for sale for £65,000 which seems so little but heavens - the work to restore it! I know that the ceilings on the first floor have fallen in but it didn`t seem to matter to old Jean-Jaques. He lived happily on the ground floor and hadn`t been up there for years!
Just the two houses at the end of the lane before the marsh sprawls out beyond us.

Would you like to be the next person to open the door and live here?

    Wow Shirley. Do you think they would trade for a yacht? How fabulous. I'd give my left arm at the moment. A very reasonable price too!
