I'd come to hate wallpaper as I found it hard work to strip and repaper.

You can always do what the people who used to own my house did, and just keep papering on top, adding lots of layers over the decades so that the new owner (me) gets an exciting history lesson in 50 years of decor trends when they come to strip it!

I'm pretty certain they haven't photoshopped the Mediterranean sky too

Actually laughed out loud at that, you have quite the eye, I never would have spotted it.

There are a few lighthouses for sale around the country - Trinity House has been trying to sell them off for years, once they automate the light and horn there is no need for the keepers' accommodation any more, but they seem to be real marmite houses and some have been on the market for a long time. For instance, http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-28813890.html has been on the market for 3 1/2 years.
http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-54782995.html is a recent addition, however

The second one was on my list of places to look at for my next holiday let, but it sold before I'd finished the current one. I think it's been bought by the Clan Sinclair Trust, who own the neighbouring Castle Sinclair Girnigoe.

Forget "spot the critturs"... Spot the kitchen hob? Photo 1?

We've just had that in our house. Found 10 layers on one wall. It was fascinating, not sure how old the last layer on the wall was - Victorian or Georgian I'm guessing/hoping.

It's attractive. I like it.

But it does amount to detached bedsit living in effect.:(

....and I do always wonder about negotiating stairs like that if one has had one drink too many:eek:
