Yay or Nay?

It's lovely! Easy to live in while you do up the strange pub style areas. Most of it has been done very nicely.

Maps is wrong - it's not on the A1 but very close. Depends how you feel about the noise.

That road would be a deal breaker for me. And assuming you need that much house!

It's in my neck of the woods.

Nay from me I'm afraid. That road isn't worth it no matter how nice a property.

No thanks from me.

I prefer this, less bedrooms but maybe could expand or go up? Or turn conservatory into proper room

Where? 😍😍

Ha ha ha. Its madness isnt it. Fab house and lovely set up though once the ten million items of furniture are removed.
I'd have it all out.

I live not far from Grantshouse and I definitely wouldn't want to be so close to the A1. If you like the area why not look at Cockburnspath, Reston or Ayton?

Nope. Very ugly house on a main road. Ok inside.

Jeeze no, unless you live on a road that’s as busy as that currently and it doesn’t phase you. The pollution would still bother me even so.

I like the space but not the road.

You can only get a 2 bed semi where I live in Yorkshire for that price

I live right on a main road like that- in a rental - don't recommend it at all. Traffic wakes you all night rattling the floor boards and wardrobes. You never fully relax.

I don't know if you're familiar with the Scottish buying process but typically you would add at least 10% to the asking price, and in the Covid pandemic when everyone wanted to be 'rural ' some folk offered up to 30% above the asking price. So you could be thinking £300-£350k for the property.

Tamworth - West Midlands - lovely park, castle, Saxon history, loads of countryside all around - Birmingham 15 mins away by train, London - just over an hour direct. Also has a pub that's won beer garden of the year and pub of the year - oh yeah!

I don’t personally like it, it looks like downstairs could be used for guests and upstairs the living space. Was it previously rented as two apartments? I don’t like how it’s right on the path. It’s not ticking any boxes for me however does it tick any for you? We will all have different needs or requirements from a house so it only matters if you like it

Where are you that has 4 beds for 270k 1:15 from Euston?

It's definitely not cheap!

air pollution concerns me so I checked a pollution map and it’s only orange as opposed to red. I know that’s still not great but virtually every city and town is red. Perphaps the pollution is lessened by the fields and stuff..

-Unusual property (pub conversion)
-No off street parking
-Right next to the A1 - no peace and quiet with lorries zooming past at all hours
-Seems very expensive for the area
-Also this looks to have sold in August this year for the same price, so why is it back on the market so soon?!

I'd definitely pass on this one unless you can see solid advantages that I'm not seeing.

I think it's nice with loads of potential. Worth a view to check out the parking options and garden

Where are you that has 4 beds for 270k 1:15 from Euston?

Not the PP (or necessarily relevant to the OP) but a significant chunk of the West Midlands is <1h15 from Euston. Solihull, Coventry, Rugby all qualify and most of that area will have 4 beds around 270k or less.

it will take more money than you may think to turn it into a functional family home because its so big but there is plenty of space and scope to rearrange it and its perfectly liveable as it is

No. A1 at the front and railway at the back.

It need redecorating throughout but the likelihood is that you'd want to put your stamp on any house so that's not something I'd consider.

Gosh I thought the added on part was lovely. The older (presumably pub part) including the room with the bar and the older kitchen would need to be reworked unless you plan to do airb&b?

The road seems to be the main drawback for most folk.
