Rural scene is a good web site for out of the way houses, however Tom
baulked at the one I found which had ten acres and was a snip with a 20
foot kitchen and a twenty foot bedroom and a twenty foot
lounge............ well okay, it was a one roomed undeveloped sort of
shack but it COULD have been nice if he'd had the imagination
............. AND it was cheap

Sounds like the sort of place we are looking for. Thankfully we have lots of
imagination. When we bought our current house is was in a serious state of
dis-repair. Not quite derelict but rapidly heading that way. The house had
been on the market for 8 years before we bought it, the last two unoccupied.
Apparently everyone else saw "lots of work" but we just saw it as a blank
canvas. We were told the story of one couple who were brought to see the
house one Winter only to open the door and see water cascading down the
walls - they promptly turned round and walked back out again. The tank in
the attic had frozen and burst.
The property is now 'desirable' again and is valued at three times what we
paid for it three years ago.
