00:00So Tim, Tim Collies from Cromford here in Derbyshire.

00:29We bought it in 2007 and it was completely derelict on a national register called the

00:34at-risk register which means it's in danger of falling down, that's the sort of state

00:38it was in.

00:39There was no glass on the windows, there was holes in the roof and the interior was completely

00:43missing so it was just a shell inside.

00:46No it isn't, the single, second single some might say, no it isn't and in fact we bought

00:51the property for the house not the cottage and so we've seen the house a couple of times

00:56when we actually moved into the house and we found the seven-inch version of that single

01:01framed in the dining room.

01:03So we knew then that there was a connection between that and the Oasis some might say

01:07single.

01:08Obviously since they announced, I mean people know, people have known for a while, we've

01:12had the odd person coming around, the odd enquirer but since the band announced their

01:17tour and they get back together again we've had loads of enquiries.

01:20Holiday Cottage, two websites we're on, people deal with long weekends or a full week, whatever

01:27the guest wants to do really, we just work around the guests.

01:30Lots booking next year around the concert times, we aren't that far from Manchester.
