Show us your real estate pawn (vol 3)

[renmure]

It does seem like a fairly practical Scottish castle, if there is such a thing. Current owners are a Dutch family who’ve been there since the early ‘90s and I guess that Leuchars no longer being an RAF base and now an army camp will be quieter... well, fighter jet wise anyhow.

Nice, but the interior is dreadful.

I've noticed you're very critical on these threads.

What kind of property do you like?

I don’t think he was critiquing the property but merely making a very clear statement of fact.

And now Clarence will entertain us this evening with the theme to Hawaii 5-O on the drums, take it away Clarence."

This made me laugh

For me that’s the best I’ve seen on this thread for a very long time. It has enough land to be away from neighbours, there is a pub and a shop within walking distance, a nice driveway, the donkeys can be bbq’d to make way for cars, it’s a quick run to Bath which I rate as a U.K. city which has managed to retain some form of identity and not turn into an identikit highstreet, it’s easy enough for getting to London, good local schools and it’s a very pretty house and grounds that doesn’t appear to be on a sewage farm, motorway or flight path?

It's like they've asked the interior designer to make it look like the Phoenix club, I'm surprised the long tables don't have Skol ashtrays on them

And it states not listed which is surprising!

It's odd the way it almost surrounds the neighbour's house.

They trample under foot just as easily as the London ones though and respond well to the Clarence Beeks procedure.

£3,250K then so it's dropped about 10% already.

It isn't that far from Bath (nor, sadly, Trowbridge) but Bradford-upon-Avon is a real bottleneck and a bit of a mare to drive through. House is nice though.

Agreed, although when I lived in a roundhouse there it was North of the river and easy to escape from.

It's true what they say about the Pistonheads demographic then...

We live not far from there and although it can get sticky in B-u-A that's mainly in rush hour, such as their rush hour is, and presumably anyone minted enough to afford that place wouldn't have any need to be on the roads at those times. Wouldn't be enough to dissuade me from putting it on my Lottery list.

I looked at a wonderful little place in Bradford-upon-Avon a few years ago, a tiny ancient little terrace tucked up in a corner of The Shambles. Something about it really got to me and I still think about it now, really wish I'd done something at the time.

Nor me. B-u-A is a lovely town, even if it does get a bit choked up with traffic. Great walks along the river corridor and canal towpath too.
