The house here was nicely placed by the side of the river. the foundations actually appeared to have been built in the river bed. Perhaps the river had simply worked it's way to the gable end due to flooding and or general conditions. I often wonder if damp courses really can protect from water seepage when the obvious concentration of permanent wetness is so apparent.
It is in a simply gorgeous location though.
The brickwork/stonework looked to be of a really first class calibre too.
I think this section of the river had once carried a bridge of some description across. You can see the foundations and sides of the load bearing walls on each side of the river.
Property is somewhat expensive in this particular area as well. A small two bed room cottage would cost in the region of £175,000..00 whilst an old type Barn, ripe for conversion but basically only a Barn when all is said and done without any utilities would cost a cool £250,000..00. A nice decent sized home period type residence would easily be in the £750.000..00 bracket.
The surrounding countryside is fabulous though.
I have to admit to being fascinated by such beautiful settings.
This was typical of the roads we used up in the Moorland we travelled through.
It's fortunate for us though that the roads had been built. Otherwise it would be 'horseback'
I did a few posts on the thread regarding Hebden Bridge earlier on in the year. We detoured to pass through the area again as Joe and Ann had never been there. It was really quiet this time due to the weather conditions no doubt.
We couldn't get a clear photograph of the bridge last time due to the never ending run of tourists in the location.
