Address IN THESE DAYS of soaring land and property values, estate agents will seek to turn any piece of real estate into a goldmine.
Deep in the heart of stockbroker •Surrey they have come up with what must be their most original idea yet. Couples searching for a home are being offered a stone cowshed for £7,500.
Gazumping knows no bounds even as far as cowsheds are concerned. A month ago it was bought for £4,500 by a property dealer. The difference in prices now is.a mere 66 per cent.
The estate agent's brochure enthusiastically describes the shed as a cow-house, with th paper Tle-nt gainst. ir the tories, dole KI 'possibilities for residential conversion'.
Until last Christmas, animals were still using the shed on Greys Home Farm, opposite a 12th-century Norman Church, in The Street, Puttenham, near Guildford.
A spokesman for the agents said: 'We have never sold anything like this before. We are not in the least bit apprehensive about it. On the face of it, I suppose it seems a lot to pay a cowshed, but one must think of its potential as a residence after development.' Buyers are reported to be not a little bemused when they turn up to view the 'property'. One sardonically remarked: 'It comes to something when all my salary will buy me here is a cowshed. They will be offering us semi-detached chicken-sheds next.' STON TOUTO va ho roma"
