You'd have me as a neighbour though

There has to be a downside to everything

thought that place sold damn, now where's my lottery win!!!

[doganjo]

I won the Health Lottery this week    Unfortunately not quite enough though    Anyway it's too big for me - I just want a teensy wee hoosie - 2 bedrooms, and a big bittie land - 5 acres.    Not many of them going about!

Why is it so cheap? I'd be suspicious about the low price

[happygolucky]

Very nice, stunning inside, too big for us too although we are looking but not for a farm, its possible that we will only have a small garden too but reality hits when you get older and that  house like this one is wonderful for growing families!! I hear there are lovely people in the area too

cos its right next door to hippy 

[happygolucky]

It is cheap considering how "posh" the interior is, mind you, we have seen a few bargains, the big houses are often a better deal than the tiny ones

Think it's estate agent tactics to get folk through the door 
A friend offered the asking price previously and was told the vendor wanted £80K more  (though it could have been because it was a friend of ours - the vendor doesn't like us much, doesn't like that we've got pigs, cows, chickens, goats, children etc.)

When we sold it to the current vendor the house was sound, but in need of cosmetic renovation - don't know what it's like now though as I've not been in lately but think they've knocked through walls and altered the internal layout  Maybe that's got something to do with the much reduced price 

Or maybe it is because it's next door to us

This might be the one you've been waiting for!! lol 

[doganjo]

Not really - you'd need another £150K to build a house.  And it would be new - done that bit. Want an old house again.

[aess35]

lol there's a shack there to be getting on with for a fair while, I'd settle there if it wasn't where it is..I need more East cos of family etc ..OH and there is also the problem of the asking price 

[ellied]

Like most places, too much house, too little land/buildings  and way too much money to only have 2 acres tho I'd actually like the neighbours I reckon 

The shack on the other one is more my permanent style than a temporary one while building some mansion  that would only raise the bills and council tax and amount of housework to be done 

I was looking at ads for 40 acres woodland with decent grass margins to graze and planning for 2 log cabins, one to live and the other to let, for £95k over in Argyll but it's gone already  and didn't have that great access or privacy not to mention probably more remote and maintenance heavy than I could manage alone now     but I did enjoy thinking about that one 

[aess35]

  I like this, would love to just to walk round it on a lovely day and know it was mine, might take a tent too and hide.

Yes I know that wee wood - I grew up not far from there.

If I were you I'd take a wee tent and hide anyway. Nobody would stop you, and you'd save yourself 10 grand!
