Viewing a house you can't afford = well would you?

The simple answer is no.

It's just going to annoy you that you can't afford it.

But on the bright side you could probably rebuild a contemporary version on a new plot of land for half the price.

My son can knock you up a model out of Lego. He made something similar last week...

(Which we looked at 8 years ago but we found a better option. I see the current owners have added a "family room" on the end)

My long term plan is to self build a modernist influenced house, be quite a bit less than half of this.

You think it will cost you to buy this:

Today the four bedroom house with a studio wing, which now has a rare Category A listing from Historic Environment Scotland

wait till you need to repaint it!

[jamesbrown]

Nope this Bernat Klein designed by Peter Womersly

My 1970s-built primary school called and it wants its roof back.

That's what I want to do, but got all guilt ridden about wasting people's time hence this thread :-)

It looks like one of those horrible portacabin places they make public servants work in when their offices are being deloused.

You mean after you have been there to "open" them.

That's why they retired you.
