    Thanks all, this is very useful. I think despite us loving the place its definitely more hassle/stress than it’s worth based on the comments above. £340k for a detached house (albeit up north) does seem very cheap, especially given the wow factor it has, but I need to accept there might be reasons for that. 


    £340k for a detached house is not necessarily cheap depending on where you are. My detached house in Leicester cost me a LOT less than that. Depends on size however - mine is not large. 

    Since you aren't (it seems) buying the house, then can you post a link to the house so that we can see it? 
    I have PMd you
