    Wow! With all that room - there could be kilted retreats, a kilt-making school (sign me up!), a spa, all sorta of fun relaxing activities... besides it being in a beautiful location.

    ... but how much more for it to be furnished?

    The article actually details all taxes connected with the purchase of the property. I'd be happy to have the gatekeepers lodge.

    Plus the annual COUNCIL TAX, at several thousand pounds, but of course if you were the sole resident you get a 25% reduction.

    Indeed I do. No family(over, I think, the age of 18),no partner,no staff may live under the same roof on a permanent basis. Just you.

    These days we only have five bedrooms in our new house, so umpteen thousand xmarkers might be a bit of a squeeze! There are plenty of rocks for you all to shelter under------take your pick!

    If we all chip in a question remains: Will there be enough closet space?
