Originally posted by OwlHoot View PostIf I was based in Lowland Scotland and maybe contracting in Edinburgh or Glasgow I'd seriously consider this place Old Harehope, just down the road from Selkirk, and set in its own Forestry Commission forest, five miles from the nearest house, six miles from the nearest town (Peebles) but only 20 miles from Edinburgh.
Mind you it may be a bit small for a family, and its cottagey style is very different to that giant bungalow-cum-school-annexe you like. So I doubt it would appeal to you.
Kids have left so not looking for a family home as such, but as you say the cottage style isn't for me anymore.Comment

Originally posted by gables View PostAnyway, I registered for a viewing and have been contacted to arrange a time, but now I'm getting cold feet\feelings of guilt as I've no intention of buying it as I can't afford it, and hence will take a viewing slot and be wasting their time. Having said that I'd buy it in a heartbeat if I had the £795k.
