For some time now our
lovely little village has been graced(some might say disgraced) by
the presence among it's residents of the Brothers Barclay. Perhaps
calling them residents is inaccurate as although they have purchased
several properties from such exalted personages as His Grace the Duke
of Northumberland and the heirs of the late Lord Gilmore,they have
not yet deigned to reside in any of these grand properties.
The largest house has
been registered as an Estate Agents premises, by the name of
Beholding
B..holdings,get it, You
can go online and find it,but here's the weird thing, they give no
telephone number and no email address.....that’s a bit exclusive
don't you?
Actually there is no
Estate Agents Office at this site,so why are the owners claiming that
there is? Well take a wild guess!
Now it seems that the
Brothers Barclay may have purchased yet another large property from
the afore mentioned Duke, The same cars appear at both addresses and
although the sale sign went up months ago no one has move in to the
property, Park Road is rapidly becoming a ghost village.
Another property which
belongs to the Duke and borders on the Barclay Brothers ever
increasing empire has just become vacant,since it is known that they
wanted the property at the time of their first purchase here several
years ago it is I think safe to suppose that it will be theirs for
the asking.
Of course no one knows
for sure why the Barclay Boys are so interested in Syon Park
...but...the presence of a very large ,almost new hotel which is
failing badly might be enough to get the vultures circling. The hotel
went from Waldorf Astoria to Syon Hilton in a little over a year
,gone are the sommelier and the concierge, now you can order a burger
if you wish ,although the food is still so expensive that the local
pizza delivery place does quite well out of famished guests,when
there are any.
I am monitoring the
situation with all the interest of one who's home of many years is
under threat, how ever,if I was in His Graces Robes I should keep a
sharp eye of the Barclays as it seems they will not be content until
they have their money soiled hands on the entire estate,including
Syon House.
If you think this is a
little far fetched take a look at what these two have done in other
areas, the island of Sark. What is happening here is their usual
modus operandi,so they have to use the vernacular “got previous.”
