Who needs Italy when Wales offers everything for a fraction of the cost (with rain)?

Or not...

Actually quite a nice property, but awful photography

Windows the size of postcards. It's really dark inside.

Italian one's not over-endowed either, but look at the contrast

Even with a lot of the lights on

I think you'd suffer from SAD all year round living there.

I know it's sold and it's been modernised rather badly (well cheaply) but location x3...

I like that, would make a perfect winter bolt hold, thick walls, log fire, bliss.

Couldn't be doing with all the bare stone walls in the downstairs rooms. Some would have to be painted. Otherwise it'd be like living in that castle where Sean Connery gets his block knocked off in Highlander.

Location x3? Really? I suppose it's ok if you only ever look out of the south-facing windows...

Which way would you be looking and what would you be seeing?

It's just over the road from an old industrial mill. You can see it in picture 2 or 3. In one direction, it looks like it's nice and secluded, and in the other it doesn't.

Yes I saw that. It's behind the terraces of Tweed Valley cottages. IIRC there's a similar terrace in Peebles, also overlooking the Tweed across open ground (not very) interestingly.

OTOH it has unrivalled views down the Tweed valley and is/was about 500K. I know which way I would be looking - but I'm not offended by the 'Town View' either tbh.

I like water

Me too, but Scottish water is very cold.

All the better to have the remaining few salmon swimming in it

Or paddling on top of it's good, too.

Live like a Kentish king in the storied Chilham Castle

Wiki said:

The polygonal keep of the Norman Castle, the oldest building in the village, dates from 1174 and is still inhabited - making it perhaps one of the oldest dwellings in the UK. It was said to have been built for King Henry II. But archaeological excavations carried out in the 1920s suggest that it stands on the foundations of a much older Anglo-Saxon fortification, possibly dating from the seventh century. In June 1320, Chilham Castle was the venue for a splendid reception hosted by Bartholomew de Badlesmere for Edward II and his entourage when they were travelling to Dover en route for France.

Even has a Ha-ha. But wait, is that a trampoline? I may have to move this to the nightmare thread.

We used to have a ha-ha. I called it the infinity lawn, which I thought was incredibly funny.

Amazing views, lovely house and own vineyard...

We've had this one before (it's been on sale since last June). When you look on the map the position vis the road and neighbouring houses is a lot worse than the agent pics imply.

I am amazed that you can produce "1,200 to 1,500 bottles a year" from a 3 acre plot!

I used to go out with a girl whose parents had one. I married a girl whose parents have a semi in Cowley.
