Might have been once upon a time, but the council gave it away to a ppp a decade back so these two got short shrift. They were looking for access to our beautiful reserve, obviously to use as a selling point for the appalling bunch of units ticky tacked together in a pile on the section across the road, they have no garden space at all. No parking either, the little street is going to be packed.
Progress...
Absolute vutures, those people. . Many years ago, a local one 'just popped in when going past' my Mum's house & offered her a sum for selling it which was considerably less than it was worth.
Of course, he had no clue that she had a very good idea of the value. But he did find out fairly quickly...
Several years back I asked youngest grandson what he wanted to be when he left school, & he said he wouldn't have minded being a real estate agent until he found out what arseholes they were....I knew then that he's got a social conscience.

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
