It became empty at the same time the main road was rebuilt

The house is on the list of 'Compulsory Purchase' requirements attached to the original Road Works Planning Applications.

Dirus... you are a font of knowledge... that makes me feel better, the family are probably better off far away from that road! Still a stunning property tho!

I know realise that a few more of my finds may have been under the same order... that would make sense!

Thank you again

I've learnt about this property from interesting contributions to this thread. ie; the Art Deco fireplaces, the protruding bathroom fad, the compulsory purchase.
So its ironic that another forum that I used to use removed my report because it was uninteresting ! Much nicer folk here

Hi guys. I drive past this place twice a week on the A17 and often wondered what happened to such a lovely house. I just assumed given its location no-one wanted to take it on.

Today I've been past again and there was builders on site and a for sale sign nearby. Not sure if its for the land or the house but I hope the house is being restored and returned to its former glory.

Thanks.

I drive past this place twice a day for work and have also noticed the 'FOR SALE' board up, it is being sold as 'VACANT/DERELICT HOUSE' this is what is written on the sign, I think the agents were Hix, I will have a look in the morning.

The builders have cut and pruned the lawns and bushes but nothing in the way of making it secure (that I saw, windows still not boarded up).

Its typical, I had thoughts of having an amble about here then onto Gedney rail house!

* This is up for auction sale by Hix, buildings and land.

It's now been sold

It's now been sold

Ooooooo why would it be a compulsory purchase then be sold? Weird!

 

[redT1ger]

Council short of money now?

Lots of reasons, it could have been purchased for a project that never went ahead, maybe the project only used part of the land, etc etc.

Regardless I,d still give my eye teeth for those fireplaces they just shout the period at you.
