Could be fabulous, do you think we will see it on Grand designs in the future ?

That almost certainly has about 15 residents who don't know they aren't alive!

EnjoyingTheSilence · 11/03/2022 19:12

@crosshatching 😁

Wrongkindofovercoat · 11/03/2022 19:13

@crosshatching maybe a couple more than 15, ancient burial ground under the orchard Wink

Oh gosh. It’s gorgeous but gives me the willies!

I hope whoever buys it does good by it.

NotJustACigar · 11/03/2022 19:14

Beautiful but I can't even imagine how much work is needed. No indoor photos unfortunately- maybe it's not even safe to enter.

IglesiasPiggl · 11/03/2022 19:15

Oh my, how fabulous. You would need very deep pockets to do it justice though!

Saisong · 11/03/2022 19:16

Looks like Skyfall after Javier Bardem visited

Wrongkindofovercoat · 11/03/2022 19:16

@NotJustACigar Cornwall live got to go inside, lots of artefacts left over from the previous residents who bought it in 1967.

Wow…that will make so much massively more than the guide price, I bet!

SolasAnla · 11/03/2022 19:18

Its got lovely bones
A lick of paint and it will be fine...

SquishySquirmy · 11/03/2022 19:19

Lick of paint and some new curtains, and it'll be lovely! Plenty of fresh air is good for you, roofs are overrated.

sevensleeps · 11/03/2022 19:19

Love how it says 'Derelict Area' on the floorplan!

74MyrnaHay · 11/03/2022 19:21

This charming residence is steeped in a wealth of history dating back to the original doomsday book

I would love to buy something like that but in another lifetime, it’s lovely, sad and obviously haunted but lovely.

NewYearCalavicci · 11/03/2022 19:21

A lick of paint and some roses planted round the door it will be fine .

Do you think the 2 cows / bulls come with the property ?

Donotgogentle · 11/03/2022 19:23

God, Listed building too. Imagine the budget you’d need to deal with that.

NewYearCalavicci · 11/03/2022 19:23

LOL cross post with @SquishySquirmy , I think we should go into property development together

SoupDragon · 11/03/2022 19:23

I wish they had interior photos of the non-derelict side.

NotJustACigar · 11/03/2022 19:23

A lick of very thick paint that could serve as a roof and it will be fine.

jay55 · 11/03/2022 19:24

Wow, it could be so amazing.

senua · 11/03/2022 19:24

Ye Gods! Do they expect you to pay them to take that wreck of a listed property off their hands? Other way round, surely.

FindingMeno · 11/03/2022 19:26

It would be beautiful if you could afford it!

Justkeeppedaling · 11/03/2022 19:26

Looking forward to seeing that on Grand Designs some time.

@SoupDragon there is a photo on Historic England of the outside before it fell down.

Why did they do a floor plan? There's no floor!!

Clymene · 11/03/2022 19:27

The estate agent's description is hilarious. It doesn't mention anywhere that it's completely derelict Grin
