8 bedrooms? I didn't realise it was such a large house. Not sure the band will appreciate where it says...

"'Fairport' the inspiration in the name of infamous rock/folk band Fairport Convention."

Maybe it was written by a trad folkie who hates all those electric guitars.  ;D

Would they allow me to build a pool in the basement?

This could turn into that Robbie Williams/Jimmy Page dispute very easily...

There is actually a Full House for sale. A very special House in the History of Fairport. We've done the rough figures and if everyone who comes to Cropredy can chuck in just £500 we can buy it and turn it in to the best Folk Rock themed AirBnB on the planet!! Well, we can dream can't we.


Maybe Robert Plant could lend them the money.
