This was in the papers the other day:94 acres,stunning views of LochLomond (if pic 15 is to be believed) & your own 16th century medieval (confused ) ruin,1.3-1.5 mil & its yours.
Not sure about the layout, it may be a bit of a faff

This is local to me, and I love it. I'd probably change the decor, but I love the property and it's layout.

Ideally, I'd remove the double garage and reposition it in the back garden, but conservation area plus listing might forbid.
Each to their own but I think that's dreadful.

Probably the most unhomely place I've ever seen on here. It looks like the offices of very expensive divorce lawyers in London.

The garden is also tiny for £800K and seems to be overlooked by lots of new builds.
I'm not saying I wouldn't change the decor, mind, but the house itself really does it for me. Garden is small, admittedly.

Very nicely done although I think the house looks a bit odd to me - has a vibe of extended within an inch of it's life and every square cm filled to fit in with the planners. I love the outdoors though and it's a nice area I know well.

This will get snapped up by the horsey brigade without a shadow of doubt in fairly quick order I would assume. When we were looking a few years back (quite close to this area) anything with land that could be used for horses and especially country houses with existing stables/menages etc, sold extremely quickly. We bought a house with a stupid logburner only heating setup and a 3 acre field, it came on the market and we quickly viewed it and put an offer in which was accepted. Despite us jumping really quickly (I spent my life on the phone/internet trying to find somewhere quicjkly) it had still been viewed by two horsey type people before us and luckily discounted on the basis of our field wasn't ideal for horses (let alone the stupid heating system!).

This place is an extraordinary mix of the sublime and the horrendous. Rear aspect is a disgrace! But still seems like a lot of house for £750k.

No idea what Wisbech is like - not terribly nice, judging from the property prices.

That's one of those properties that makes me scroll back up to see which thread I'm in. Could be either. smile

If the only field available is the one that looks like it belongs to the house (to the side of the stabling) then there really isn't enough land to keep more than one horse (at a pinch) unless you have them stabled for a large part of the year.
And I agree, the house looks like it's used up all it's potential.

My map isn't that accurate. As it's so far away from London it just says "there be dragons" wink

Rutland is the smallest county in England and is only 18 x 17 miles.
Very pretty as well, recommend it as a weekend destination or just a day spent exploring Rutland Water.

Sounds awesome.

How much is it? Not quite what I was looking for in terms of land, but I'm sure we could cope.

It's like someone started to build a much larger house, but ran out of money and had to make it smaller to finish it, and then got some new builders in to do the back wall without them looking at the front.
Indeed, and how the hell did they manage that, being Grade II listed?!

Been waiting for one of these to come on that is 'interesting' - they look so stunning but often are a bit crap. This one is quite mad, but I 'think' I really like it

Usual pig farm or something 50 meters away, but still.

I'm into this. I think the "wraparound" kitchen might actually work quite well, hard to see what else you'd put in a small circular room. Would be changing the tiles in the living area though.

Every single thing would need to be bespoke, is the only issue. But I think they've done a good job of actually using the circular shapes here. Not often you see that.

The view is about all it has going for it IMO. Very bland mishmash of everything.
