    Value for money or not?

    http://www.rightmove.co.uk/viewdetai...a_n=3&tr_t=buy

    I quite fancy it as my weekend retreat.

    Just for the land it has got to be worth £500K?

    Seems suspiciously too cheap - perhaps ghosts "live" there?

      Yeah, but it's in Wales

        Listing
        The mansion house is listed Grade II* and the gardens and outbuildings Grade II. The actual listing of the mansion house is reproduced in detail below.
        Dont touch with a bargepole unless you have very deep pockets. The land may well be worth the 500k, but it will cost you a significant percentage of that just to keep the place running every year.

          You only get a bit of it (I think) - quite how much land you actually 'get' is a mystery to me...

            My guess is that they made a mistake and meant to have £5 mln price tag.

            For £500k I'd probably buy it myself (if it was a bit closer and I had the cash).

                None, would be my reading of it. A bottomless money pit only for the likes of Threaded. The Grade II* listing spells trouble as well.

                  Yes, now I've read it a couple of times, looks like a barge pole don't touch with a property.

                    It certainly does - I can't paint our house in a colour the missus likes - let alone keeping the council (or whoever it is) happy...
