Hmm. I'm not sure a house that is held together with sellotape is worth £625k.

The tarp over the roof suggests it needs re thatching. But no mention of that. EPC exempt suggests is is not habitable, but apart from the thatch issue, it looks pretty good inside.
Why are they not giving the full story?0 -

Why are they not giving the full story?EPC exempt would indicate that it is a listed building - If that is the case, it comes with a whole bunch of responsibilities, restrictions, and expense should you need to do any work on the property.Looking at the particulars, it confirms that it is a Grade 2 listed building..Her courage will change the world.
Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.2 -

Milton Abbas, Blandford Forum, Dorset DT11, 4 bedroom detached house for sale - 62546882 | PrimeLocationLooks like a potentially large bill to re-thatch might be the straw that broke the owner's bank account.The moss on the front roof shows what a poor aspect the house has at the base of a north-facing slope. I wouldn't have it at any price.

The Street, in Milton Abbas features in Dorset tourist guides and is on many postcards. It is a very desirable place to live.
Here's the history: In 1780 Joseph Damer, Lord Milton, who was the owner of Milton Abbey decided that the nearby town of Middleton was spoiling his peace and quiet and commissioned the architect Sir William Chambers and the landscape gardener Capability Brown to design a new village, Milton Abbas, in a wooded valley a bit further away and out of sight. Most of the original villagers were relocated here and the old village demolished. One of the original buildings, the Almshouses, were carefully taken down and re-erected in Milton Abbas and can still be seen today.
I'd live there if it wasn't for the fact that this property will be a money pit.6
