Oh, it's almost a wee Scottish commune here eh!! I'm just up the road from you - just outside Linlithgow
Welcome and feel free to bring any spare rabbit you come across :)
-
It is a scottish commune! I see you're at Muiravonside sellickbhoy, we're down just past Avonbridge.

I tried to buy a cottage near Avonbridge (Candie) last year - went for silly money, twice the asking price, and my offer was no 6 out of 17 - it still smarts as I could have afforded the price they got! Never mind I'm here now!
-
I remember seeing a place at Candie for sale last year (I love looking at houses for sale), as I recall even the asking price was pretty high!

No, it wasn't that high o/o £150K. I offered £202K and it went for just over £300K. As I said 17 offers, most of them below or close to me and only one high offer. It was a tiny cottage badly in need of modernising - sliding doors for wheelchair access needed removing, rotten frames, dilapidated greenhouse attached to back door, untended garden (due to illness) etc etc. But it had a rylocked 2 acre paddock and backed onto fairly newly planted woodland so not overlooked except by walkers. 4 miles from m'way - perfect for me but my cagey lawyer wouldn't let me bid any higher. Now have a new lawyer ;)
Still an acre isn't bad - just needs roughing up a bit as it's a pretty garden just now.

ha ha, a wee Avon Gorge community, never mind Scotland!!
well, i'm right opposite the entrance to Muiravonside Country park
apparently the woman the owns the house above me is thinking about putting it on the market - Ooooooooo I'm so tempted to put an offer in for it if she does. comes with 5 acres and a horses stables though (that'll put the price well out of my reach) but she is thinking about keeping the land and the stables and sell the flat (that would suit me as i could make it back into 1 big house!)
No idea how i'll be able to finance such a venture in this climate though!
She's also selling a bit of land along the canal bank so someone can build 4 self catering chalets and a bistro on it - perfect, a local pub!!! just what's needed. Just waiting for the planning permission to go through

Thats interesting gossip sellickbhoy! Which school catchment area are you in? My sister is looking to move out of her cul de sac in Linlithgow, but because of the kids she wants to be in the catchment area for Linlithgow academy. She'd love someplace where she could keep a few hens, and maybe even their goats. Though I don't think she can afford 5 acres and a stables either!
Annie, an acre isn't bad- we only have just over an acre here.

It is when it's mostly in garden type mossy soggy wet grass ::) Still, it has it's uses - agility run in the front garden and loads of hunting in the shrubs and trees at the front too with mostly gravel at the back and a few fruit trees(I put them in)
