Just been looking on Google Earth, I like my hillside home, live at 1,000 feet but that looks a harsh place to live, the house is at about 350 metres :-), just worked it out, not that much different to here, but the hills around don't look as if they'd be good feed for the beasts. Be nice in summer though,

And all the hay fields are on the other side of the road... on that acreage I would have thought you really need the possibility to make your own winter fodder....

It does look nice to start with, though after Anke and hillbilly posted I too looked at google etc, they are right that's some tuff going ground you are never getting top quality off that grass.
So they're right then "you get what you pay for"

I think I viewed this place when we were looking for somewhere to buy. If it's the one I remember it's alright as a dream but more inhospitable when you get there.

Its just what we are looking for, and has been for sale for a long time so might be open to offers. However we still cant get a mortgage for that much, even though our current rent payments are far higher than the mortgage repayments on it would be.

Hi Moony,
If this is still available
Nationwide base mortgages on affordability not gross income, also the Woolwich used to offer a mortgage based on your outgoings and savings, so for example if you save 1k a month and your rent is 1k a month they will use both figures to calculate your mortgage repayment ability, the Woolwich thing you had to bank with them at least a year but maybe light at the end of tunnel thingy

Personally I'd pass on it as I could never be a hill farmer & would want at least a few neighbors - & I like where we are as it's close to civilization & the countryside x

Hey Moony, just realised we must be just over t'hill from you in Hebden Bridge, near Widdop Road, it may be harsh sometimes up here but be careful what you wish for

I'd love the isolation there and remoteness there. We are not far from you at all. Used to travel that way a lot as shod a few horses in Heptonstall and Blackshaw Head. We are actually leaving this part of the world in a fortnight and moving up country to Dent as we have just bought a chunk of land up that way and rent another bit on a fell near Hawes. Hoping it will be a welcome change from bordering onto the allotments in Nelson as we are overrun with thieves, problem dog walkers and lampers at the moment.
