Odd little house - Nr. Moor Monkton, York - August 2008 -ARCHIVED

[Trousercowboy]

I'm afraid I know nothing about this house, and it's an uninspiring report so it's in the recycle bin in readiness. But I did a 25 mile round trip on my bike to visit it and my butt hurts so I'm going to bloody well post it anyway!

It's an odd little house set back from the A59, tucked up against the railway line that runs to Harrogate, on a sunny day like today a nice little spot to live.


A wee bridge leads to the house (although this picture is from t'other side)

The front...very Play School, I expected to find Humptie and Hamble smoking crack pipes and teaching Little Ted to swear round the back...

At some point the garden must have been well kept and here's the pond
