Cheaper than my place - Do you wash the bikes as well  ;-)

Sorry, from an architectural point of view, this house is big and very disappointing and lacks any architectural creativity.  :-(

whats there is nicely done, but looks like its been drawn in a CAD/CAM package as a training exersize and dumped in the middle of a field.

if it was a converted barn, I could understand it, but the architect needs to be shot!

Sorry.

I have to agree with Neil, not the most inspiring design. It surely has come from the Argos book of house designs where you pick a picture and have it built.
It surely cannot be too hard to employ an architect to draw a bespoke design, in the total land buy/build cost it won't be that much of a precentage.
Anyway, sorry if it's off thread, but I am off to build a copy with my son's Lego.

Make sure it also comes with 6 acres of land.

this has more architectural merit!

and a half a million "as artwork" few of us could afford it.   just think how many GTR's we could buy - 50 second hand, enough to fill OC's rev shed!  just about.

It should have been made out of GREEN Lego

   so far nobody has actually told me how the house buying business is conducted in Scotland! 

[SirToU]

LOL - perhaps thats because you shouldn't do it. :-)

Never done it myself, and the same probably goes for everyone else on here.

Steve, If we thought that you were only half interested in going to live in Scotland we would be falling over ourselves to help,  But, It makes me think motorway ie        Of course if you are really interested you must let us know, and show a bit more enthusiasm.
