There are plenty of nicer rural properties for less if you don't need to be in any particular location.

Not for long, some posters are telling us that this market will rocket when everyone realises they need a garden for the next lock down.

Not enough photos to say for certain although based on the internet speed alone I would have to say NAY!

nice place and location. how much does it cost to in energy bills. you can find out on confused.com. does it have upc windows or wood? all sorts of things to take into consideration.

Current internet speed will be irrelevant in a year or two when Starlink comes online.

Upvc windows and good loft insulation

Personally - I'd be thinking "It's in Scotland - make that a No then" - because of the way things would be too "different" there to what you're used to I would think.

Even the way of buying a house is different in Scotland is different to the rest of the country and I'd be there thinking "I'd have to figure out what the procedure is to buy a house all over again - and probably quite a lot of the rest of the laws too" - so, if you're a quick learner and prepared to deal with things being rather different in that part of the country and have taken that into account, then it might work for you. But it is a thing to bear in mind - when one has spent decades "knowing how things Work" to throw all that up in the air and wonder how much is "different".

Then there's the colder weather......ditto...you might be okay with that personally of course...

The garden is far too big for my liking and the heating bills must be astronomical.

This would be more like my 'escape to the country' sort of place https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-71597260.html

Nice house - doesnt need a thing doing to it by the look of it.

I would be wondering about those metal fences in the garden - photo 57 for instance. Why would somebody want to divide their garden up like that with a fence (or two) that is unattractive and with no logical reason for it? Unless, of course, all their garden ISN'T all their garden and there could be the "we only own this bit/someone else owns that bit (or, worse, is acting as if they own that bit - but they don't etc" stuff happening.
