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.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."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

You only get a bit of it (I think) - quite how much land you actually 'get' is a mystery to me...Originally posted by DimPrawnThe squint, the cocked eye and clenched first are the cornerstones of all Merseyside communication from birth to graveComment

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).Comment

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.Originally posted by EqualOpportunitiesComment

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...Originally posted by Emperor DalekThe squint, the cocked eye and clenched first are the cornerstones of all Merseyside communication from birth to graveComment
