The price might seem incredible but if I had the money I would definitely buy this one.
I guess Brexit will impact on the earning abilities but it is quite perfect and will make for a wonderful home for someone (someone very wealthy – obviously)
Magnificent, and fantastic old buildings, would any of these be heritage listed. If I had the dosh I would be in like Flynn, the possibilities are endless.
Not speaking as a property pro of course.
