When you buy it can I be your lodger? I would confine myself to the rooms shown in pictures 8 and 11

I'll let you share room 8 as that's my favourite room!!:beer:

As some others have put "dream houses" on this thread, this is the single most expensive place on the market within 40 miles of me (using rightmove)
I really don't like pic 14 though

What does £15M get for you?

EDIT: This is also £15M

Remind me not to play Top Trumps with you as you've definitely trumped my offering! :cool:

Well, if we're 'fessing up to having our eye on future projects, this is mine:

http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-37277317.html

It's going to auction in Glasgow again tonight, down to a guide price of £185k. It's a Grade B listed 20-bedroomed former nursing home with 136 acres and fishing rights. After the nursing home closed, it was sold for £150k and reading between the lines of the legal pack, the new buyer remortgaged it for £400k with Bank of Scotland and promptly did a runner. BoS have been trying to offload it for about 4 years, it was originally with Savills at £405k and has been doing the rounds of the auction houses for the past couple of years. Its last appearance was at a guide price of £240k, so they've knocked another £65k off and it's getting to the point where I'm seriously thinking about buying a lottery ticket, because it would be a beautiful, beautiful house once restored.

That has to be the bargain of the year, I would so love to live in Scotland.

Good morning all

John - thanks for that info. May I ask where you found it. Spoke to DS2 and we are going to try and take a look at the weekend.

Although this is by no means a diy project because we really would need the trades in for this one, my two sons will be providing some much needed muscle and cheap labour. All the bacon butties they can eat......

Going to ring the agents later.

Casmanian] - all I can say is WOW - real laird of the manor stuff. Do you get a title to go with it.:rotfl::rotfl: You'd have to buy one wouldn't you. I fancy myself as a Duchess although I suppose I could settle for Countess at a pinch.;)

That atrium is gorgeous.

Anyway time for me to stop dreaming and start the day.

Of course you didn't interrupt me.

It's nice to get feedback from others because whilst part of me really likes the look of it, there's a more sensible part of me that thinks with my head and says "Are you nuts!!!":rotfl::rotfl:

But yes I will take a look.

Oh dear what did I start lol. Lets us know what the deal is with that place. Will be cracking when finished.

Have they hidden the cereal in the oven?!

Pic 1 is enough to put me off that block - the apartments in the corner are looking into each other's windows!

Interesting tartan carpet (pic 2) looks very out of place considering the fairly plain wallpaper.
