Title: Looking for unusual property
Post by: GROWLER on November 10, 2012, 08:21:51 PM
All the usual agent suspects around here seem to just deal in the run of the mill townie type shite. ::)

I've spent piggin' hours trawling the net looking for something a bit more oddball and even eccentric to rent, but it has to be within striking distance of where I already am for 'cus of werk commitments.
A cabin or even ramshackle 'ut buried in a forest would be most satisfying.
There'd probably be no internet too, so you'd all be rid of me! :thumbsup:

Any knowledge and links to a 'specialist' agent before me 'ed bersts? Banghead

Saw that for the first time last week. Great watch.

Thought about buying one of those woodlands as that would suit me, but you can only build a hut in it for shelter, not to live in as a permanent residence. Banghead

Sounds ace that.

Wouldn't let you do anything so 'sociably unacceptable' in this lousy country.

Wondered about a narra boat on the local canal, but even that's fraught with problems red tape and taxation, plus you get all the knobs wandering down the tow paths at night.

I need remote...ish....like a Light'ouse p'raps?!! cloud9:

Quite.
Harsh lesson learnt rapidly

I'll keep my findings to myself in future.

Even had prying eyes over my shoulder here now too, complimented with lashings of sarcasm.


I shall recommence searching tomorrow when no one's here and keep my findings to myself.
Got a bit carried away with the excitement, that's all.
