I love browsing property pages. Love the views from this tower, and its a bargin at only £80K. Think it's beyond my design and DIY skills though!

Ooh I'd love this. So much work though but could be stunning.

Wow, not going to show my castle obsessed DP as he would probably try to buy it.

chisanunian · 06/04/2022 14:34

Wowee! That is going to be amazing once work has been done to make it habitable. Love it.

IstayedForTheFeminism · 06/04/2022 14:37

Wow! And no neighbours to annoy you. Bliss.

Love it!

there was a time when I would have liked to live and work near Perth, but I have now become acclimatised to a warm and sunny climate.

I couldn't get past cookie control on that website.

Is it a disused water tower, or a rich old man's whimsy?

You'd have to by it if your name is Repunzel!

Could be amazing but I'd imagine the stone masons bill alone on a historical listed building like this would make your eyes water.

Even if done up it would be very impracticable. Only 4x rooms about 12ft square each. So a kitchen, a living room, 2 bedrooms and try and squeeze a bathroom in somewhere?

It's fantastic. It be a great place to have as an air B&B

As others have said, costs of repairing/restoring would be astronomical, for very little space. I can't imagine that it would meet building regs - what about fire escapes etc!!!
It's a listed buulding, so you'd be limited as to what you could do.
Also, no guarantee that planning permission would be given again.

It's been bought and sold and put on the market again recently.

@Piglet John - it was built for a rich nobleman as an observatory and as a "castellated romantic feature" - presumably that means a folly. It's on the buildings at risk register: www.buildingsatrisk.org.uk/details/898956
That report was written in 2016.

I’m looking forward to the Grand Designs!
