I saw this in the Independent this morning and was a little confused
given I had been under the impression who ever owned it had been having a lucrative tourist business with the cottage with fans staying there
If that wasn't actually up for auction, I could afford to buy it; make an interesting mile from anywhere second home

Now Rob should buy that for us
And we can all use it as a B3ta timeshare.

Oh fuck yeah.
This is genius.
Although having said that, imagine what it would look like after a couple of weeks of occupation by b3tans.

Apparently it comes with all the furniture you saw in the film

I've been there...
...many times. And so have scores of Withnail fans, each taking a souvenir - to the point that the place has been gutted. Even the sink where Marwood washed the spuds is gone. It's like a cave. Very recognisable from the outside, though.
It's at a place called Wet Sleddale in Cumbria, should anyone wish to visit.
Edit: I also live in a town prominently mentioned in the film, though it was not actually filmed there.
