Well if you could afford this, you can afford a cleaner full time. They can then live in the flat or cottages on the site.

Just the one? Plus at least one full time handyman/builder. Plus about a dozen gardeners/gamekeepers/rangers/farmer etc...

In its heyday, these places probably had a staff of 100 or so people, I would imagine.

As soon as I saw this I knew Haart wouldn't be able to resist calling the garden 'low maintenace' ! (pic 6 onwards)

Apart from the pressure-washing, scrubbing, weeding etc...

Probably lower maintainance if it was just grass.....

And yet.... inside the house goes for the "Country House" look with all the horsey/country pursuit vibes - totally at variance with the urban "low maintenance" garden. At least it would easy enough to get rid of the slabs.

I know we need car parking spaces but I do think it's a shame when people give over the whole of their front garden to the car.

i would want a detached house

I actually looked at renting a basement flat in this house (almost certain it was ths house - location fits and I remember the blue door of the main house). Definitely very spacious, but OMG the basement flat was damp - you literally breathed in the damp. That and they wanted almost £700 per month for a 1 bed basement flat (with extreme damp).

In the end I rented a house in Leuchars, 10 mins drive away from St. Andrews - 3 bed house (with the potential to be 5 bed - box room was turned into a study and downstairs bedroom was used for storage) for £600. Bargain of the century

£210,000 seems a lot for a tumble-down wreck in the middle of nowhere - http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-36975002.html

Even more oddly the EA seems to have applied a Photoshop filter to make the pics look like watercolour art, esp. pic.9...

It's for two , two bedroom houses.

thought they had moved the chair around until I saw the floor plan. Bit small!

.........Which have been marketed at that price for years.

Cwm Cou isn't exactly my idea of the "middle of nowhere," mainly because it is closer to a Tesco than where I live! :rotfl:
