This is absolutely stunning, I love everything about it and were my numbers to come up it would be mine without question.
In my top 3 favorites across all the volumes of this thread.

Definitely.

I would rather have this and the 2,750,000 change thanks.
Needs some money spending on it but it looks a bargain compared to that barn conversion.

I’m quibbling as this is a lovely house, but it could do with a bit of colour in the garden (easily fixable I’d have thought) and I never really liked the brick ground floor and white upper floors (personal taste).

Hmm - small World - this is (or was but I believe still is as his disposal of assets was restricted) owned by a rather lovely chap who specialised in selling what was effectively a ponzi scheme mainly to older people - I helped in the investigation that ended up with him being banned from acting as a Director for 14 years, not bad for a first offence... The one and only time I volunteered my time for free as he deserved everything he got.

One a bit outside of the UK.. Sweden where I am.

A bit of a fixer-upper but £24K is not too shabby compared to the joke prices back in southern england where I am from originally!

Yep £24K :-)

Property outside of the cities here is sooo much cheaper than back in sunny Sussex!

We are looking to pick-up a place like this for summer vacation and perhaps even winter too.

There has to be some kinda pitfall to this, surely? Do you gave to pay triple the price in taxes or something?

Nope. We don't have council tax in Sweden. You do pay a tax on the profit if you sell it.

If you have a job, then you pay income tax that goes to the council, if you earn over £4500 per month you get an additional tax that goes to central government, but no council tax.

There is also no legal fees here when buying!

We have it sorted :-)

I could be wrong, but I don't think erosion would be a major issue there. Spent some time in and around Beer in Spring last year and it's a lovely area. Not keen on some of the flooring but otherwise I'm a big fan of that one.

Not sure about that. As far west as Lyme there have been some huge cliff falls in the last 6 months. Rousdon undercliff is all cliff fall, although not recently. Mind you with the terrain coast side of the coast path I'm not sure you'd notice.
The cliffs stop at Seaton so it would depend on whether the rock type changes at Seaton/Beer.
If it doesn't there is no way I'd want to be that close to the cliff and in for that much money, lovely though it is.

eta - might be ok, rock looks different and appears to change at Seaton.

For the avoidance of doubt, everything I've posted is 'in the public domain', I've just joined up the dots for you. There is plenty more I could, but shouldn't and won't say.
