Erm, yes. It always sounds great until you go there.

I fell for that one and went and lived in Paris. Sometime during that period I promised myself I'd never go and live in Italy, in case it spoiled that for me too.

Never imagine that a beautiful mistress will make a good wife, monsieur!

I seriously considered buying that ex monastry last year. It was offered at a very reasonable price, but I figured I couldnt raise the cash to refurb it.
I figured it for hotel and country club and as I remember it had enough land for a couple of golf courses.

If t was in a bad way you may have been eligible fort a grant to help with refurbishment? A couple from Portsmouth that moved up north next to my parents stomping ground got a 70% grant for the cost of refurbishment of their recently acquired but ‘n’ ben.

That is a typical SE overpriced tuliphole. £3.5M and your neighbours will be about 10m away. Yuk.

Been there 3 times in the last 12 months, rent an apartment get some supplies from the local patisserie, a jar of framboise, bread and a fine bottle of wine, then I’m ready, ready to relax and do nothing but absorb the atmosphere.

How long did they have to wait for the sunny day for the photos?

I had similar thoughts, especially with the west coast properties. depends on the time of day, snow in the morning summer in the afternoon.

One bathroom between four bedrooms for 3.5M! No thanks.

The first property on this thread is the best so far.

France is tempting me more and more these days perhaps even an appartment in montmartre Paris, great food, great architecture, nice walks around the streets looking for the next coffee shop hand in hand with me lover.
