Good find.
I wonder what sort of income is generated by that, as is?
The farmland seems to be £2,400 pa.

The fishery; dunno.

Yup. A derelict building which should be re-buildable. No services, so solar, wind and reed beds needed.

That's what I call a 'get away from it' weekend retreat biggrin

This came on a couple of miles from me. It's a local landmark (my "house" at school was named after the estate) and is incredible. Beautiful grounds and less than 15 mins to Glasgow airport/ 20 mins to city centre.

Lot 1 would be my choice for £1.8m which has 200 acres and not the farmland.

Really? Constant traffic noise past your front door, not really walkable to any shops, decent pubs or restaurants. Your only neighbours are an hotel, a hospital and an office. I agree there are some nice places on that road, but I reckon you've picked just about the worst smile
You're set so far back you wouldn't hear anything surely?
Just with my work I need to be round this neck of the woods and never seen anything like that close to amenities. Put it in Warwick and it'd be £5m :'(

Didn't realise it was there tbh!
It is a very busy road, with the A46 in the background, have you stood somewhere like stoneleigh village? All you can hear is that bloody bypass.

His own estate agency that he set up not being able to sell it?
That was on TV not long ago - How'd you get so Rich. I Thought they were the Poundland people rather than estate agents?

not selling may have something to do with the fact that the property is hideous

It looks like a (bad) care home, certainly from the front.

Yes as it says in the link I posted he set up his own estate agency to sell his own house because he didn't want to pay estate agents fees, which hasn't seem to have worked out as intended.

It also makes little sense. You don't need an agent to sell your house so doing it as a private seller would have been just as (in)effective as doing through an Estate Agent that nobody's heard of.

I presume it's a new business venture, rather than just a way to sell his own house.

But he's not using it any more he's using Andrew Grant now - http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/prope...

So even his own agency can't sell it and he's going to pay those fees he was trying to avoid. If it sells smile

He could have spent some of his anticipated savings on making it look less like a Victorian Workhouse.
