PP has been granted for a number of different schemes over the years but none have got further than that It was sold to the current "developers" by an insolvency company when the previous owners went bankrupt which is probably a portent of things to come. There are major restrictions on what you can do to it as it is Grade II listed due to it being "a substantial early C19 villa retaining early character and detail", has major problems with access to the A487 (which, of itself, will cost a considerable sum to fix) and has even become a known* site as a bat roost.

If you still want to chase your rainbows though, it's probably best to do some searches around the phrases "chalky pachyderm purchasing", "buying a pig in a poke", "money pit", "bargepole" and "bubble bursting." :cool:

Beautiful building from the outside but that furniture and the bathroom...:eek:"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."
