    Slightly off topic - *during the war* some American GIs.... caused part of the front elevation to drop.

    In my boyhood town, the Americans caused quite a few things to drop....and I went to school with a couple of the consequences. ;)

    Project anyone? Can't believe someone's been living in this! (Albeit in one of the bothys, not the house itself).

    On the right of the page, there is a list of sold properties nearby.The property sold for £150 is a typo as it was sold for £135,000 according to Zoopla!

    North facing garden, tall house and no evening sunshine due to neighbouring similar properties....

    'Fraid that, and the very steep patio in final pic, means I've written it off. Shame! ;)

    I only said the house Dave; I'd have to pick it up and deposit it in a few acres of land....

    The £135k sale on Zoopla is two years after the £150 sale - the £150 will be the owner at the time buying out their croft (a crofting tenant has the right to become their own landlord for a one-off payment of 15 times the annual croft rent).

    garden is 95ft long and on the west side has no buildings on (it is raised above road level with a drop to the pavement.

    sun light is NOT a problem in that garden unless you need to sunbathe at 7 am in winter.

    the list of people who would kill is growing!

    So, having looked at it on the map provided by the agent, on the aerial and on Streetview, I'm hallucinating? confused-smiley-001.gif

    What is that funny building in Pic 13 then? Oh hang on, it's in Pic 14 as well. It wouldn't happen to be 13 Dale End would it? That's what I see to the west of the garden.

    To the east side of the garden, I see a blooming great wall. There is no evidence in Pic14 that the garden is somehow raised significantly above street level there. (Harrison Drive)

    Nice try, but you should surely be putting people off if you want it so much. :p

    Don't think I would ever want to live in one, but I love how the inside is just not what you expect :D
