Sleddale Hall goes under the hammer at the Berkeley Hotel in Knightsbridge, London, on February 16.
Looks like there will be more down'n'out London financial types polluting the North of England at the expense of the local population then!

"This is a local town for local people ... There's nothing for you here!"
It's this sort of parochial, small-mindedness that is one of the worst apsects of modern British society. Why should people from London not live where they choose enuii? For every 'local' that moans about being priced out of property by outsiders, there's some local who was more than happy to pocket the cash and leave, squeezing the most they possibly could from the sale. Those who value their insularity and introspection so much can always sell their properties to the 'local population' for 50% market value, and do them a service. No, I didn't think so...

In the great words of uncle Monty "Im preparing myself to forgive you"..........I soooooo wanted that house.............I would prance around it all day drunk on red wine and shoot fish for my food....prehaps I should go to the auction and demand the keys if they dont give me them I would announce that I am a millionare and I would by the auctioneers and install a jukebox....Joint first best film of all time along with the first Highlander film (The other Highlander films dont exist and are the work of the devil)........could blog for a day on Withnail and I.....and the various ways it impacted my life........mostly in some incredble level of being p#ssed and stoned at some student party (I was never a student...diddnt like the idea of all those boring lectures and being a genius the exams would insult me but liked the life so I dossed around visiting my friends whilst they were at uni partying like it was 1999) in the early hours of the morning..........I also do the worlds best Danny impersonation...its almost as good as my professor Stephen Hawkins singing my way at karaoke

I must get that film out if it's as good as you say.
Quite fancy that house myself, bet it goes for alot more than £150k though. I reckon it'll go for about £450k and with another £250k spent on it, it will no doubt become some chic yoga retreat for stressed out bankers.
I wish I knew the address, I'd be half tempted to post a letter just to keep posty busy (down a mile of unmade track). I send 1 everyday.
Land of Leather!
BTW I've just posted back to you on that thread from yesterday about how low can they go.

I have e-mailed the National trust- if you all do so- perhaps they might listen, and buy it, for us all.
That way, some disaffected city *anker will not have it as a trophy he probably wouldn't appreciate anyway.

I mean to have the house if it must be burglary!
14. gone-to-colombia said...
I want that house, I want it here I want it now!
PUT IT IN THE BACK OF MY VAN!
Here hare here?
Just making time, just making time.........

Let's hope the house meets a better fate than Withnail's iconic coat. This was reputedly destroyed by DJ Chris Evans when he owned it. Will the Withnail house fall into the hands of some overpaid Londoner, and be 'updated' or 'modernised?'
It should have the same status as Tintern Abbey or Corfe Castle; its condition modestly stabilised, and be left as the magnificent ruin it is.
A fitting memorial to the finest British film of the last fifty years.
