mcavoy said: The flooring in the kitchen and lounge looks (in the photos, at least) like really cheap laminate.It says it's solid maple, but looks awful, IMO. And what's with the random red roof tiles on the bits jutting out. Looks like a dodgy repair job, or like they were and afterthought extension! other than that, I quite like it.

One of a few houses no doubt. Perhaps that is the house he has in Scotland that he can wheel out as a example of living in Scotland, paying taxes etc, when he's not out of the country at one of his tax havens.
A bit like owning a Prius (never used) when you have 4 Ferraris.

I heard that the main issue was with tree preservation orders. It has new owners now who seem to be doing a cracking refurb job. Its a lovely place.
