Hi neighbours!
Do you have a broken or unwanted motorbike, scooter moped, outboard motor or lawnmower sitting around taking up space? Or random bits and pieces that would be ideal for a fun project? My 5 month old son and I don't have a lot to do so my husband is a mechanic and said he would be keen to do a project with us. 😊
I would be happy to remove it free of charge!

Opportunity to buy property and complete cosmetic makeover.

Pauline from South New Brighton

We have started a cosmetic makeover after our wonderful tenants of 11 years have bought their own home. We wonder if there’s anyone out there who would like to step in and complete it to their own taste. It’s an attractive site with established trees (975 sq metres) and the house is 5 bedrooms … View moreWe have started a cosmetic makeover after our wonderful tenants of 11 years have bought their own home. We wonder if there’s anyone out there who would like to step in and complete it to their own taste. It’s an attractive site with established trees (975 sq metres) and the house is 5 bedrooms (170 sq metres). It’s suitable for an extended family or it could be great for someone who wanted to rent out rooms to help pay off the mortgage. If you, or any of your friends or family are looking to buy in South New Brighton, you are very welcome to call me 0212098946 and pop in to see if it’s something you could be interested in.

I have a chainsaw and axes so can deal to most things. Would prefer not to work close to houses.

something we can drive to would be best.
