Old Trefor’s house is on the market and already I’ve seen three 4x4 couples giving it the once over.
He was always careful with his money so the asking price would have made him wet himself.
I remember introducing The Prof into the conversation as my partner one afternoon as I helped him collect apples from his small orchard and for Trefor saying rather nonchalantly that he already knew and that Auntie Gladys had told him in passing at Friendship Group !
Trefor and Auntie Glad...gems of the community xx
ReplyDeleteTrefor was another wonderful surprise in your little village. What’s a 4x4 couple?
ReplyDeleteThe elder folk in the village where I grew up were such fun, not what you expected, they had see so much and was accepting of everyone.
ReplyDeleteThat's cheap! a place like that in Suffolk would be £500,000 or more!
ReplyDelete£375,000? That's a bargain compared with house prices in south west Sheffield. Stick Trefor's bungalow in Dore or Ecclesall and you are talking about £800,000.
ReplyDeleteA lovely home, so I hope you get nice neighbours who become part of the community rather than flash second homers or city types going rural, which sucks the heart out of a village by the death of a thousand apathies. And that they don't have yappy annoying dogs/teenagers and the blight of the garden trampoline!
ReplyDeletePrices are the same around here. Once 'rural backwater', now 'highly sought after'.
ReplyDeleteThey are getting expensive here in West Cork.
