They've done a hell of a job on it. Was just a proper old persons bungalow before. Reckon he might have been a builder himself."This advert is brought to you in partnership with Stone Island"
Lovely house though.
Pulled in to charge my car at it the other day. And had a slash in it's toilet.

You can probably guess what kind of property I would like if my numbers come up

Disappointing that in 82 photos there is not one showing the top of that tower. I would love an observatory on the top of a castle turret.

Has it ever flooded down there? Trying to remember and I think it might have once.

I live a mile upstream from there and about 30 years ago the river was right up a height and running really fast , stood on Fatfield bridge to watch it. There was some flooding further east of the bridge but not to the houses iirc.
When we were there I was speaking to an old fella who was telling me this was nothing compared to when he was young and reckoned what is now the river bar got flooded which I’d never heard of.

Yeah I loved up the hill in rickleton and have very vague memories of a very high water. Think we walked down from James Steel park to where the boat launch thing is to see it.

I’m sure the field to the left of the launch pad was flooded afterwards.

Yeah that's perhaps what I'm thinking of.
Anyway, I've always liked thst row of houses. In fact I have fond memories of that whole stretch. From the playpark all the way to cox green. Both sides of the river.

Was wondering what the catch with the cox green one is, says cash only due to non standard construction. Assume the flood risk ?

Non standard construction means mortgage companies won’t touch it. Wonder what they are made with.
Airey houses are post-WWII prefabricated homes (c. 1945–1955) designed by Sir Edwin Airey to address labor shortages using pre-cast reinforced concrete (PRC) panels and columns. While quick and cheap to build, they are deemed "defective" under the 1985 Housing Act due to corrosion in steel-reinforced columns, requiring structural repairs and a PRC certificate for mortgage eligibility

Prefab houses I think, only meant to last a short number of years
@GillytheGilf on the move?
Grandparents lived in one where lidl now is in hpool. Strange looking things. Must have been flattened within 50 year of being built.

Bit like the ones at Hunters Hall Road, Sunderland.
Nice position but you can't get a mortgage on that house type as it's designated defective under the Housing Act. That's why it's so cheap.
