cartimandua51 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 (edited) I though smug Well was immune but: http://www.rightmove...y-21706981.html As I'm looking to downsize I'm almost tempted - don't like the night storage heating though. Just cheapness to install, or to stop the oldies blowing themselves up? I can't imagine there's no natural gas supply to central Wells....

tahoma Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I thought you meant Wells-by-the-Sea in Norfolk. Wherever this one is, the prices are starting to look reasonable, are they not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Well :( Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I though smug Well was immune but: http://www.rightmove...y-21706981.html As I'm looking to downsize I'm almost tempted - don't like the night storage heating though. Just cheapness to install, or to stop the oldies blowing themselves up? I can't imagine there's no natural gas supply to central Wells.... Over 55s only OAP property. High service charge.

cartimandua51 Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 Now down to £99,950 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lagarde's Drift Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) Now down to £99,950 So another 30-40k to go then. It's a granny flat in the middle of nowhere with no train station and shite buses. Basically only good for parking your granny there whilst she slowly dies. Edit: And, it's a 2 floor granny flat. Wonderful. Edited January 28, 2012 by Laguarde's Companion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where I am at present I have to get in the car & drive for 10 mins to the nearest pint of milk that isn't still in the cow. You might not like Wells, but this is at least very close to the city centre, and I can think of worse places to be parked as you age.

You might not like Wells, but this is at least very close to the city centre, and I can think of worse places to be parked as you age. Sure, it is a decent enough place to park yourself as you die slowly. I had made the assumption that you aren't a pensioner. I may be wrong, so go ahead, buy it. But £100k is still a lot of money for a granny flat (two-floor as well). And, the bit about being in the middle of fooking nowhere is important. If you were young, you'd like to live somewhere (or have decent transport links to) where there are jobs and decent lifestyle things. If you are a pensioner you would want to live close to your family and relatives, but what if they've all moved away from Wells? Oh, could they come visit regularly? Sure, your grandson would love to visit but there is no train station, shite buses, and he can't afford a car, so you'll never see him. Again, if all you wanted to buy was a granny flat in a village centre so you don't have to zimmer too far to get your milk and bread then it's fine (although still overpriced).
