Looking for a new house
Lightning - 1/1/10 at 08:28 PM

We are looking to downsize, so I have been looking about and found today a place in Devon that is detatched with 4 beds blah blah blah 10 acres (no idea what I would do with that) but.......

It has its own disused narrow gauge railway line....how cool is that

Got to be worth a look

you could do it, a tunnel on the sly 20 feet under your neighbours houses! Quite simple, you just need a lot of bricks!

I bought what was an old Nursing home. Its far too big for us now 2 of the 3 kids have left. I am looking for a house in the country but must have either many garages or a large barn or out building for toys

But if anyone wants a large victorian villa with income from 2 holiday flats and an attached bungalow give me a call

Just think... you could ride the railway down the garden to the garage

with a bat-cave style exit so when a project is complete you can speed out through some light jungle brush?

Sounds canny, my dream has always been to live way up the side of a mountain or miles up on the deserted moors and have a narrow gauge track down to the village where theres my own little station with the tintop garaged up there...

Your name isn't Blofeld is it ? He had a place like that in a film I saw with some Davey Bond fellow in it or something.

Jimmy I think. Always wanted a hollowed out volcano garage with a metal lake in the cone. Actually scratch that, I always wanted an autogyro with rocket launchers
