The property also benefits from satellite TV reception and has a dedicated carport parking space and a bike shed and bin store.

The second property is Beaufort Cottage in London Road, a picturesque and detached character home rich in period detail.

A delight to discover, this tucked away George IV gem is believed to have been the Dower House for the substantial and striking Beaufort House next door.

Built in 1826 this intriguing Grade II listed character home has been twice extended; first by the Victorians and again in the 1990s.

Lovingly and sympathetically refurbished by the owner, the property offers attractive, consistently sized accommodation decorated in its principal rooms, with painstakingly researched original Georgian colours.

To the rear of the property is a stunning large fitted kitchen/ breakfast room by John Lewis of Hungerford and there are three good- sized bedrooms and a further dressing room as well as two separate reception rooms.

Barton House dates from the 14th century and boasts many original features from medieval times, through the Elizabethan age to the 1700s.

As such there are various examples of beams, fireplaces, exposed stonework, later sash windows and of course the chapel on the first floor, which is such a feature of this property.

The walled garden has lawns, a sun-terrace, shady seating areas and vegetable plots while to the front of the property is parking.

All of this is situated on the edge of the countryside park with level access to the canal, river, city centre and station.

Stop procrastinating. That is always good advice, and always hard to heed. But in some situations procrastination is more damaging than others. One of those involves getting the country’s fiscal health in order. The latest advice to stop procrastinating — or, perhaps more important, the latest explanation of why procrastinating will only make matters worse and the fix that much more painful — comes courtesy of the Congressional Budget Office, and its new report on the long-term budget outlook (http:// tinyurl.com/25a7chn).

The CBO, like other sensible economic analysts, is not calling for an immediate retrenchment to deal with record deficits — far from it. As the report explains, “With economic activity and employment currently well below the levels that could be achieved by fully utilizing the nation’s labor force and capital stock, raising revenues or curbing spending immediately would probably slow the economic recovery.”

Translation: it’s too soon to hit the brakes.

“However,” the report adds, “the sooner that long-term changes to spending and revenues are agreed on, and the sooner they are implemented after the period of economic weakness, the smaller will be the damage to the economy from rising federal debt.”

Translation: The longer we dawdle, the harder this is going to be.

That might be obvious — although, then again, perhaps not to those who make the case that faster-than-expected economic growth could make the problem evaporate, or slowing the rise of health care spending could make it much less daunting. Perhaps, but that is a dangerous hope on which to rely. I might win the lottery tomorrow, but it’s not a very smart retirement plan.

The CBO report shows why. It looks at the “fiscal gap” — the extent to which government would need to immediately and permanently cut spending, raise taxes or both — in order to stabilize the national debt at its level as a share of the economy at the start of this year. Not that this is anything to be happy about: 53 percent of gross domestic product, a level not seen since shortly after World War II.

Imagine that policymakers want to keep the debt stable through 2035

Trust Network

– within any organisation there are networks of people with whom others are willing to share political information, company secrets or provide support in a crisis. A trust network is thus a very important part of an organisation, particularly in the areas of motivation and morale. Problems here are indicative of trouble ahead if it has not already surfaced. Symptoms may occur during times of great change e.g. merger, takeover and redundancy or as a result of years of neglect. In all cases, innovation (which relies on intrinsic motivation) will suffer.

Advice Network

– an individual’s advice network consists of those whom they give advice to and receive advice from. This is restricted to technical advice or advice on solving problems and is not concerned with personal problems.

Superior 100% pure

Superior 100% pure fossilized, coral calcium is harvested from above ground, meaning that no harm is done to any living coral.

This unique formula contains a form of calcium, which is alkaline, and supports the body?s pH (potential hydrogen) balance to promote tissue health. Coral calcium promotes healthy oxygen levels in the body and helps to maintain immune system function as well as promote waste removal.

The Importance of Alkalinity

Maintaining an alkaline pH is critical to cellular health, and if your body’s pH is unbalanced, you will have problems effectively assimilating vitamins and minerals. According to Bob L. Owen, Ph.D., D.Sc., author of “Why Calcium?”, ?when coral calcium is added to water it raises and balances the body?s pH levels. Consumption of this alkalinized water also balances the body?s acid/alkaline levels, thus bringing about many health benefits.?

The Importance of Oxygen in the Body

Scientists have discovered that a low level of oxygen can disrupt the body’s natural functioning ability and can cause harm to the immune system.
