Eddie_George Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 £125k Norwich 1 bedroomed detached Don't bring too much living room furniture with you. A weird tagline for an EA to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spork of Damocles Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 "The owners of 56 Heath Road have granted a Right of Way through the gated archway of their property upon giving 7 days Notice for access for deliveries of furniture, etc. to the property, gained through the double pine doors in the living room." Gee, thanks, being as you thought you'd make a quick buck by parcelling off this 'house' I'm sure that's the least you can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee, thanks, being as you thought you'd make a quick buck by parcelling off this 'house' I'm sure that's the least you can do. Google Streetview tells me number 56 looks like an 'over the passage' Victorian terraced house but with a wider passageway (probably designed around storing a horse and cart) than the one shared by 58 and 60 (the main access to this new house - 58a). The new house is in the back garden of 58. 56 are probably doing 58 a big favour. Still, a right PITA of a house with poor access. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new house is in the back garden of 58. 56 are probably doing 58 a big favour. Still, a right PITA of a house with poor access. I was looking at the EA's description: "The Matchbox" originally formed part of 56 Heath Road and is believed to have been a coach house and later a workshop/studio. To flog off a house with poor access and then insist on a week's notice to get anything substantial delivered using what should have, realistically, been a shared right of way seems mean at the very least.

notnow Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 May they forever suffer awful neighbours for trying to cripple a young couple with debt for a house that has a future as an unsellable icon. 7 days indeed. The spiral staircase will creak and groan and drive the buyers crazy. There will be lots of "oohs" and "aahs" until you have been up and down it a few thousand times, by which time you will be looking for a house with normal stairs. I do hope I don't sound too negative...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkins Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 (edited) It looks like even the house is in on the joke. Edited October 12, 2012 by Dorkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeymadman Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Glad it's still for sale; gives you hope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattW Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 Glad it's still for sale; gives you hope! Yes, noticed it yesterday. Down to £115k now but that reassessment of the asking price is merely a drop in the ocean. The vendor will be lucky to get £90k for it. I wouldn't buy it at any price as living in someone's back yard really doesn't appeal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeymadman Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 And... still not selling :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattW Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 And... still not selling :-) And no downwards movement in the asking price since 20th November, the greedy feckers. Agents Note: The owners of 56 Heath Road have granted a Right of Way through the gated archway of their property upon giving 7 days Notice for access for deliveries of furniture, etc. to the property, gained through the double pine doors in the living room No change in the rules concerning access. This is one giant red flag of a reason it hasn't sold, not so much the asking price. Potential for a neighbour dispute here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potential for a neighbour dispute here. They're doing themselves a favour if they don't sell it; who would buy the main house off them when it had that as an issue?

MattW Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 It never sold as it's back on the market: £115k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TheBlueCat Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 It would be worth buying that just in order to let it out to the noisiest, nastiest, smelliest bunch of meatheads Norwich has to offer just to teach the f*ckers a lesson.

MattW Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 3 years on, 58a Heath Rd back on the market for sale for offers in region of £120k. http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-50944858.html It doesn't appear to have ever sold at all according to the sold prices on that road! I assume it was rented out and that the tenants are now fed up with it's bijou dimensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starla Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 That one did come up in my weekly Norwich RM search. It's so small I can't even find it on Streetview? With those dimensions I'm surprised the "owner" can find space to fill it with so much sh*te. And what's with the cover photo, I don't want to have to hold up my laptop and tip it at an angle to imagine what the house might look like.
