No Electric £300k England's Most Inaccessible Railway Cottage

[@MarkRushton-i4g]

This is right on the Yorkshire 3 Peaks walk....It would be a nightmare with passing numpties asking to use the outdoor loo or for a lift to Ingleton. Buyer beware!

[@johnplatt8369]

By heck your a down to earth lad great vidio..... We are from North Wales and we were up that way few years ago and walked up there cracking house but right dump outside all sorts of interesting junk in the garden would of loved a scratch about through it 😁. You have to be hard to live up there,,,,,,, God's country 👍👍👍👍

[@stephenforrest464]

Property Information - Freehold property. Current Council Tax Band status unknown. There are no mains services available. When the property was last inhabited, the following arrangements were in place: electricity generation via a windmill and generator; Calor Gas cylinders for cooking; multi-fuel stove for heat; septic tank drainage (now disconnected) and water was transported via a trailer. Cost another 300k to sort out on top I think Thomas.

[@stephensmith4480]

These places are amazing. When I first started on The Railway as a Trainee Signalman, there was still Jobs advertised on the Internal vacancy list for crossing keepers and signalmen that still had Living accommodation that came with The Job. They were solidly built houses and cottages full of character.

This house is still for sale and they have reduced the price a lot. I would like something like this, but it's just a bit too extreme.

[@ThomasEdward]

Yeah it's 250K isn't it though friend of friend I know who owns it. Need small lotto win then TE towers will be there come for some meet and greets TEA WITH TE 😉

[@Brian-om2hh]

It has now been sold......

[@JOHNMONO]

Totally agree with you regarding the house, i just wished i could afford it, what a great location.

[@TheDaf95xf]

Evening TE. What a little gem 💎 I live in a new modern house in Barton backing onto the west coast main line and love it 😍 So that house would suit a train enthusiast or you TE lol 😆

[@Nastyswimmer]

They're taking the piss - £30k would be over priced

Its still for sale and it's been discounted. Great video do. Keep up the great work buddy.

Now sold I believe.....

[@mikedakin2016]

@@ThomasEdward we need to do something about this holiday home problem , its become really serious now and it has to stop!!! We could start by lobbying the mercenary estate agents with the property descriptions and suggested uses . I almost went in to say something about it but was too angry!!

[@steelcitydomains2356]

Dropped to 250k now....however I have been looking into something to make it a pretty good buy ..just need the 250k and some cash for what else is needed ...always something 😂

[@Brian-om2hh]

What looks like the garden area to one side of the house did, until the 60's or so, have 2 more cottages on it, but these were demolished. There are a few old photos on the net of all 3 cottages still in situ......

[@pamtufnell6751]

Hope they keep it as it was

[@ThomasEdward]

I believe it's sold now so we'll see what happeneds hey?

[@Brian-om2hh]

This house was sold a little while back. The price was reduced to £250k when I last looked. It sold not long after. It has no mains services, but than can be sorted these days with solar and battery storage, or perhaps a small wind turbine ( no shortage of wind here). If a water supply could be sorted, it has great potential as a cafe/tea stop for the many walkers going past each year. The guy who lived here seemingly used to have fresh water delivered on a regular basis, and used a wind turbine and a generator for electricity. The house you see there now is No 3 Blea Moor Cottages, as there were originally a further two cottages where the last occupant stored all his junk.

[@realasmr538]

Really enjoyed this a lot! Your right to many outside money up here.

[@ThomasEdward]

Yes indeed!

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Heard it was for sale but the cost of utilities alone will be more than cost of the gaff. Maybe a spotters shack but still very pricey

[@ThomasEdward]

I know Leslie It's interesting one Wonder what out come will be?

[@Brian-om2hh]

If you could obtain a permit/licence to extract water from the nearby river/stream, then it would all be do-able for probably around £75 to £100k at a pinch. Solar and battery storage system £25k, wind turbine £25k, the water extraction and filtering I'm not sure about, but probably at least £25 to £50k. Plus you will need to pay the Local Authority Environmental Health mob to come and test the water on an annual basis. I think they charge around £400 per year for that. You might also want to get a few loads of decent topsoil delivered, to be able to grow your own veg etc...... No popping to the shops living here. Plus on top of all this, you'd be looking at probably £30k upwards to renovate the house to a decent standard...... Many wouldn't entertain the thought of living here, but there are those who would of course.....

[@barryackroyd4624]

Well done an extra vlog. We have walked Whernside,Ingleborough & pen-y-ghent many times with a pinic nosebag. Did you knowthat in 1964 several Humber cars were blown offf a freight train as it went over the viaduct, Agree with the comments you made.

[@ThomasEdward]

Keeping you on Toes with extra video but also this video wasn't long enough for Monday video so was best get out on different day also It's recent news. No I didn't know about Humber cars were blown off a freight train just looked it up shame no photo evidence.

[@volklf1]

Would make a great head office for TE but would need to do the road up when TE gets the Rolls! Excellent video

[@ThomasEdward]

I like your thinking 💭 Future TE Towers I'd have put Rolls Royce Silver spirit on Land Rover chassis wouldn't I? in less get siding and do agreement on motorail carriage 😉

[@robbflynn4325]

Hey TE. Saw the price of the house has reduced to 250,000. I think you should buy it!

[@Brian-om2hh]

Now sold. Would have probably gone for £220k - ish..... Needs £70 to £100k to sort the utilities issues though.

hey man your the best i love your vids especially oliviar the car, while you were up their in the hills did you find the turntable that spun round and round in the wind with an engine on it for days on end, i think it was Garsdale somewhere, the railwaymen had to encircle it with sleepers on their ends to stop the wind in the future from doing the same thing. i wish i was your mate and could hang around with you forever.

But you aren't actually *just* buying the house. You're buying the right to have a property there, plus the possible potential to improve or extend it.....

Heaven! Far from the madding crowd would suit me down to the ground, Having an electric car might pose a problem charging it though.😁

Heaven to me too! just get wind turbine enough wind up there to charge and the ZS got enough clearance for the track hasn't it?

@@ThomasEdward Yes a wind turbine would work well up there, It would be grand to fill the car up with electrons from mother nature. Yeah the ground clearance is pretty good on this not that I've ever ventured off the tarmac with it. 🙂

[@Brian-om2hh]

You'd use a wind turbine. Up on the Orkney Isles in Scotland, there are around 300 electric cars in use, with many of the owners using wind turbines to provide electricity. The Orkney Isles generates more electricity than it needs, using wind, solar and wave turbines, and exports the excess to the Scottish grid.....

It wouldn’t been done Years ago because the railway or local were still in it using as intended. Well I hope someone spends cash on it but lives in it as intended like it has oways done. It’s not totally derelict I’ve lived in same condition old Cumbrian houses as that growing up.

[@MrWindermere123]

Far overpriced and not likely to get a mortgage in that condition. There's no law against making a low cash offer however, so be cheeky! My guess is that it will end up in an auction with a guide price of £160,000 to draw in the bidders and selling for £220,000.

[@barbarastepien-foad4519]

Certainly OVER PRICED. Looks damp and very very neglected...you'd need another 300,000 to renovate and make good...no electricity, no sewerage, needs TONS to make good.
