RMweb Gold big jim Posted August 22, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 22, 2011 noticed that earlier when i passed by, been up for a few weeks now i think, a bit too close to the railway for my liking though!! nice how on rightmove they of course mention the railway line 20ft away, also the street view takes you about 500m up the road with no railway in sight i dont know the area at all (other than passing through at 100mph) but thats one expensive house compared to here in crewe, very nice inside though, love the attic space and a nice long garden Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted August 22, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 22, 2011 It's all a matter of the area and things like that as far as prices are concerned - a similar house round here but on a main road and not next to a level crossing is currently on the market for £360,000; a modern one 'in the right place' is going for £465,000; and there is a 3 bed terrace (not end of) but down on the river going for £1.2 million but the rooms are a lot bigger and it has boat parking underneath. And from our bedrrom window we've got a pretty good view of a house (using the word advisedly in view of its size) on the opposite side of the valley which has just been sold for well over £100 million. Like I said - the area can make a substantial difference Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugsley Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Hear is another one for sale near a level crossing, and the vendors are not finding it easy to sell. In which case, I suspect that they're asking too much for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Wintle Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Friends of mine used to live in this house http://maps.google.ca/maps?hl=en&ll=44.242878,-76.606695&spn=0.000004,0.004812&t=h&z=18&vpsrc=6&layer=c&cbll=44.242828,-76.606742&panoid=V-rchscApXr2-Zd-mYo0Gw&cbp=12,247.36,,0,4.01 When they lived here, there was a level crossing about where the shrubbery is. The tracks are the CN main line between Toronto and Montreal. It was a great place for watching trains, not so great for peaceful relaxation. For reference, in 1988 or thereabouts it was $CDN67,000, for about a third of an acre with a small barn in the back yard. Adrian Adrian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted August 23, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 23, 2011 In which case, I suspect that they're asking too much for it. Quite so - it's hardly the busiest railway in Britain and I'm pretty sure that it doesn't often disturb the peace of the night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
