    Fantastic, I'd live there like a shot.  I can't see if it's oil or gas central heating, but you'd need to factor in wood costs for the woodburners.  Might be a huge woodstore hidden away.

    Looks like a great house with loads of opportunity. I'd love to live there if I didn't care about location etc.

    Lovely house internally, not sure about what looks like pebbledash on part of the exterior but Helensburgh, no thanks.

    Beautiful house, surroundings and garden - love that red tree in the garden - looks Japanese
    I would want to know if it is gas or electric - would make a big difference to your outgoings

    Would take a lot of heating unless you can do a deal with the nuclear subs for spare capacity.

    There are plenty of nicer rural properties for less if you don't need to be in any particular location.
  • central heating is oil with multi fuel wood burner.
     Faslane is 4.5 miles away. Helensburgh is 13 miles away but supermarkets deliver.
