In need of some modernisation, it benefits from a rural location well served by transport with easy links to the A303. Set in several acres of peaceful countryside -would make an ideal family home. Viewing recommended.
Another of my Historic Winchester Series
1 – 3 Eastgate Street, Winchester
These render and brick three story buildings were constructed in 1850 to create a sweeping entrance to Eastgate Street which joins the Broadway to North Walls following the demolition in 1847 of a large house with gardens which had occupied the site since 1665. with six large sash windows with intact glazing bars on the upper floors, separated vertically by pilasters and with stringcourses above and below them, the pitched roof is hidden by a parapet, with modern shop fronts on the ground floor the building has a visually important curved frontage and was given a Grade II listing on the 14th of January 1974.
Number 1 Eastgate Street was occupied by a Mr E. Yaldon from 1884 until 1887, and then by a Mr C. J. Gay until 1890, it then appears to have been unoccupied until 1894 when it was registered to J & G Rawlance who remained there until 1904 when it was occupied by W. H. Smithers who was there until 1914, the premises were unoccupied in 1915 but in 1916 it was a butcher’s shop owned by Mr William Henry which was there until 1923.
The shop was again unoccupied in 1924 but in 1925 James Henry Young opened a hairdressing business on the premises, staying there until 1929 when Herman Klein took over, as a ladies hairdresser, continuing until 1937 when the hairdressing business was taken over by Stanley Maisin who was there until 1942 after which the records are missing until 1951 when the ground floor of Number 1 was divided into two parts, the left hand side being King Alfred’s Snack Bar, run by Stanley Butler.
The name of the snack bar changed to Eatwell in 1953, and following the passing of the Gambling and betting act of 1960, which legalised off-course betting the right hand side became a betting shop run by George Rolls, turf accountants, however this changed to Maurice Jack, another Turf Accountant the flowing year. In 1967 Power, Clark & Hiscocks, a firm of chartered accountants occupied part of the building
In 1972 they were joined by H.J.R Developments, a firm of house renovators; By 1979 the shop was back to a single unit and had become Dowlings, a draper’s shop which had moved there from their shop in 127 – 128 High Street. Light ‘n’ Shade, a lighting shop had the premises in 1987 but in July 1988, following a planning application to change the use of the shop to a betting office Number 1 Eastgate Street became Corals bookmakers. In 2003 the shop was the premises of Hobsons Choice suppliers of the German Bulthaup kitchen and living space systems.
Number 2 Eastgate Street was a post office and tea dealers in 1885 it was occupied by Arthur Etheridge, a grocer and tea dealer, in 1894 the business was taken over by Mathas Lee who ran it until 1900 when it became Brown Bros., in 1927 Mrs Margaret Brown took over the running of the business, continuing until 1934 when it was taken over by John Walsh. In 1935 they became licensed to sell wines and spirits and in 1937 Mrs Elizabeth Walsh took over the running of the firm continuing until 1960 when the proprietor became David L. Walsh who ran the grocery and off licence until 1973 when the shop was sold to Hampshire Business Supplies which sold office appliances and equipment
In the 1976 the shop belonged to a firm Chandlers, an estate agents and this was succeeded by a shop selling Sony hi-fi systems. In 1982 Number 2 was being used by the Eastgate Employment Bureau. In May 1983 planning permission was granted to a film production company called Lacewing to change the use of the ground floor from an employment agency to offices but this must have been short lived as in November 1983 the shop was taken over by the local Hardware store, D&G Hardware until they moved into the vacated Rod Box shop in George Street and in 1988 the shop became Hampshire Business Supplies.
By 1996 its occupancy had changed to B. Matthews, funeral directors and by 2013 it had become a showroom for a firm marketing terra cotta products which is still trading there.
Number 3 was the first shop in Winchester to have a plate glass window, a result of the process that allowed the manufacture of large flat sheet of glass which had been invented in 1838. Originally having been described in the prospectus as a shop suitable for a chemist, the original usage is unclear but by 1885 was a baker and confectioner’s shop run by a Mr Sidney Prangnall who was joined by Mr L.G. Stickland till 1897 when a Mr Hume joined the firm, remaining there till 1908.
Mrs Prangnall took over the running of the bakers in 1925 and in 1931 her son, John C. Prangnall succeeded her, and his brother, Charles R Prangall became part of the firm. they was joined by Herbert John Walter in 1939. Records are incomplete for the years 1942 to 1950 but in 1951 the bakers would appear to have been run by a Mr Henry Robinson until about 1961 but by 1965 the shop was again Prangnall’s, remaining so until at least 1974
On the 7th of July 1975 planning permission was granted to a Mr N. E. Marshall for a change of use from a shop to a café and the shop was altered to become Charles House, a Chinese restaurant. In 1978 Number 3 became Ninos Ristoraunte Napoli, an Italian Restaurant, the first of a chain of 10 in the south of England, a photo taken in 1980 shows it as still having plate glass windows but at some stage since then this has been replaced with folding doors to enable the front to be opened right up on warm days, this probably happened in 1981 when the ownership changed to Avocados Restaurant, which sold British food.
Avocados closed in 1989, and Richoux Tea Rooms opened on the site, by 1996 the building had become part of the Café Rouge chain of French Bistro Restaurants, by 2011 this had changed to Terracotta, a Cantonese restaurant specialising in modern Chinese cuisine. In 2015 the restaurant became the Fish Tale Grille and bar but this closed in January 2017 and it is now DiYA the Indian restaurant.
UPDATE 03/10/19, The restaunt at number 3 is now Taste of Gurkahs, a Nepalese restaurant.

A really nice little bedroom, wish I'd moved the towels, normally do!! A small room so I opened the door to show the hall as well - good call.
Another lovely property in a great location overlooking Watergate beach in Cornwall UK. Again a small amount of on camera flash bounced from the ceiling just as a little overall fill, edited in PS and Lightroom
A crooked estate agents (which, some would say, is the perfect example of a tautology!) stands in the centre of Market Square, Lavenham. It is adjacent to the pink Marketkeeper's Cottage (obscured in this view).
In the right foreground can be seen the base of the Market Cross, which was bequeathed to the town by rich clothier William Jacob in his will of 1500. The base of the cross is original though the shaft shows the date 1725.
In the right background can be seen some of the massive Guildhall of Corpus Christi wool merchants, which is now owned by the National Trust.
My 2012 – 366 project will be …. Life through a 50mm Lens. I shall be taking at least one picture per day through my Nikon 50mm f1.8 lens attached to my Nikon D7000. This will reflect what I see around me in everyday life …some will be obvious others will need a little imagination to interpret..I hope you enjoy them as much as I will enjoy taking them.
I am also basing them around film/movie titles … memorable quotes from films or classic old Englsih Proverbs!

Again lots of ambient, just popped a bit of a fill for the foreground. Took some shots with the lights on and off, and decided to just keep the chandelier and ceiling lights on. Seems a little overly bright for me, but client wanted bright shots. Comments welcome.

A look at the historic buildings on Castle Street in Beaumaris, on the Isle of Anglesey in North Wales.
32 Castle Street, the oldest house in Beaumaris dating to 1400.
Grade II* Listed Building
History
A late medieval hall house with S cross wing facing the street. This wing has a projecting gabled bay, probably added in the C17 when a first floor was inserted in the hall. Originally timber-framed, the hall was later rebuilt in stone. The building is shown on the 1829 town plan as 2 houses. By 1899 it was a bakery. After 1945 it was an antique shop restored by the artist Hendrik Lek (d 1985) and later a bookshop.
Exterior
A 2-storey storey former hall house of rubble stone, with S wing facing Castle Street, which has a timber-framed front. The roof is slate, with roughcast stack to the rear of the hall range, which extends behind No 30 Castle Street. There are 2 front entrances, created when the building was divided into 2 houses. The L-hand entrance has a panel door in a rendered lean-to, to the L of which is a 15-pane shop window. Above it the front is close-studded and has a replacement 3-light small-pane window. The R-hand entrance is within the projecting gabled bay, in imitation of a cross wing. It has rubble-stone side walls replacing original framing, is rendered in the lower storey, above which it is close-studded with herringbone struts. It has a fielded-panel door with small-pane shop window to its R, all spanned by a moulded lintel. The upper storey has a 3-light oriel on brackets, above which the gable projects on consoles and has a moulded bressumer.
Interior
Because the hall is obscured by buildings on all sides, the plan of the building is now only apparent from inside. The hall has a 4-bay arched-brace roof with Tudor-rose bosses, and windbraces. In its N gable end is a section of timber-framing, suggesting that the building was originally entirely timber-framed. In the W wall, adjoining No 2 Church Street, is an original opening with moulded timber lintel, into which a small-pane sash window was inserted. When the hall was converted to a storeyed house the gable end was rebuilt and the fireplaces inserted. The upper storey has a fireplace with timber lintel. The lower-storey fireplace has an elliptical hood, probably dating from its use as a bakery. Spine beams support the upper floor. Beneath one of the trusses is the framing of an inserted first-floor partition, which incorporates 2 triangular-headed doorways. Later insertions include a blocked doorway and 3 windows, including a blocked sash window, in the E wall adjoining No 30 Church Street, and a corner fireplace with timber lintel. A door was inserted on the R side of the gable-end fireplace in the lower storey.
The S wing has a 2-bay roof, with collar-beam truss with raking struts, and one surviving wall bracket. The eaves has been raised slightly and added purlins now rest on top of the truss.
Reasons for Listing
Listed grade II* for its exceptional interest as one of the few surviving pre-Georgian houses in Beaumaris, with especially notable interior detail and distinctive front, and for its contribution to the historical integrity of Castle Street.
Beau's Tea Shop is next door to the right.

It's been a good day today as I think we've eventually found somewhere to live, just need to make sure the private mooring is big enough!

7 September 2017. In Park Lane, Northumberland Park Tottenham.
What's this about?
The sign was temporarily tied to the handrail outside St Paul's Church, Park Lane. Local residents and campaigners were meeting to share updated information about the London Borough of Haringey's so-called "Haringey Development Vehicle" (HDV). This is a detailed, extensive plan to demolish large swathes of publicly-owned housing. To displace and replace residents.
In the opinion of Haringey Council's current political
leaders this is "regeneration".
An alternative viewpoint, held by many Haringey residents,
elected local councillors, and campaigners is that the plan
will lead to "Social Cleansing".
Haringey's plan is one of many similar right-wing initiatives across London and elsewhere in the UK. However the scale of Haringey's plan is far greater. And unusual in that the HDV plan includes publicly-owned land with residential housing, at least two schools, commercial property, and some privately owned homes.
Currently (September 2017) Haringey's plan is probably the largest such scheme in the UK. It's also potentially the most risky. The risk is financial and - crucially - social. Residents' homes, lives, jobs and futures are jeopardized. Established communities would be displaced.
Wendy Charlton - the artist who made the sign
The satirical estate agent (realtor) protest sign is by local artist Wendy Charlton. Read about her by clicking the link belowte:

[Links checked OK. 21 July 2021]
Please note these are not intended as comprehensive. Nor is my selection objective or balanced. I and my wife Zena Brabazon were strongly opposed to the HDV since it was first proposed. As an elected local councillor Zena has been a member of the Scrutiny Panel taking evidence and making sharp criticisms of the proposal.

As I was taking my Flickr contacts on a quick trip around the Cork Harbour area, we stopped off at the ruins of this medieval castle (Belvelly Castle - for sale!), located on the road between Cobh and Cork city.
The four walls are still standing, which I guess is a bonus after 800 years, but there's a little bit of work to be done before you could call it home!
I just had a quick look around on the web and those with a spare €200,000 and a lot of time and patience (not to mention a million or two in restoration costs), can contact the auctioneers here!
