Haven't seen a TV that old for while. I bet it's black and white too.

Love the green suite and the "dirty protest" other bathroom is awesome

It's been pointed with portland cement mortar which is destroying the stone, presumably local limestone, so it will fall down eventually and save the cost of demolition.

I don’t think you could make those toilet walls look any more like poo if you tried.

I want to know if that TV works

Err really. You can't see any redeeming features despite the photo clearly showing an avocado pan on a dias? What's wrong with you man?

You're clearly paying for the vintage stter and spattered arse cleaner combo and 20 acres of prime ferreting estate!

To be honest, that's a great redevelopment plot with good rough shooting if the local town/village is vaguely normal.

The nearest place is Haworth, the nearest big town is Keighley so if you want ‘rough’ and ‘shooting’ you can’t go wrong!

Keighley eh. Just think of the amount of crash damaged Lambos you can get paid to have stored there.

I'm not sure I'd class it as beautiful - bleak is the word thats come to mind whenever I was up that way although that said, I don't think you could ever see more than 10ft from the car due to the thick fog and/or hammering rain.

Nice views, which is good as you definitely don't want to be looking inside the house!

Fair point. I walked the Pennine way once and over that bit, we lost the path and ended up just heading north using the compass alone.

Wuthering Heights with a bad 70s makeover.

Already a big multistorey carpark in the town centre for that purpose.

Worth it for the plot alone imo.

My main question, though, is how do 'table grapes' differ from just 'grapes'?

You wouldn't want to eat 'grapes'?

I don’t know the area or any restrictions, but it feels like you’d be buying a plot of land and getting busy with some drawings?

ETA, street view shows big houses opposite with horseshoe driveway. To me, you’re buying a plot of land to level.

Specially grown to make home made table wine, obviously.
