Nora Battys Cottage For Sale - Own a piece of TV history!

Nora Batty’s Cottage
Last of the Summer Wine.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire one of the most iconic TV houses and be the envy of millions of fans throughout the world. Nora Batty’s Cottage appeared in many episodes of the popular BBC TV series from 1973—2010 and Nora Batty was often seen sweeping the steps with her brush before swinging it at Compo which produced some very comical situations.

Tastefully decorated (as Nora Batty would approve) with many props from the show as well as signed photos of the cast & crew.

The 2 bedroomed cottage is nestled amongst other famous sites used in the series including Sids Café, The White Horse Pub, the steps that Compo ran up, Howard & Pearl’s house etc.

The property is now used as a successful holiday let and is popular with visitors from all over the world, especially American tourists who rave over the Last of the Summer Wine episodes that are shown there.

The present owner is selling the property for £180,000 and a new owner could continue the existing use a holiday lets or use it to live in themselves.

Christmas Cheer!!

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.

The following is a topical carol, courtesy of the funny Richard Littlejohn of The Daily Mail

WALKING IN A WINTER WONDERLAND

The phones ring
No one’s listening
All the staff
Have gone missing
Check the website
You won’t get a flight
Stranded in the Heathrow hinterland.

Locked away
Are the gritters
Read about it
On Twitter
It’s nobody’s fault
We ran out of salt
Stranded in a Winter Blunderland.

Snowfall came
Without warning
You could blame
Global warming
But nobody cares
About the polar bears
When they’re stranded in a Winter Blunderland.
