Well it’s been a busy week for me in relation to Silver Spray.
I’ve met the current owner of Silver Spray, the neighbours on both sides of the property and progressed the purchase.
The neighbours up the slope have a fantastic upside down house, with the lounge, kitchen etc in a massive open plan upstairs. Down slope they are expanding the house back into the garden to accommodate an expanding family.
For the purchase, the money is now waiting in my account, both myself and the seller have filled out all of our paperwork. So it’s with the lawyers for the contract and searches. Cornwall council cut backs mean these now take about 3 weeks. The initial lawyer work means I’ve got copies of the historical sales (conveyances) of the property:
- 18 January 1978 it was sold for £11,500 to the parents of the current owner. They have sadly passed on, and their son is selling the property.
- 11 October 1933 it was sold for £78
- The road that is now Tregundy Lane appears to have historically been called Watch House Road. It might be nice to rename the house “Watch House”.
