Look at the shape of the house.
Look at the cladding above the conservatory.
Then scroll down the street to the White House at the bottom. Similar profile similar cladding.
I suspect your looking at that with a brick fascade.
Still keen ?
The video also makes the internal walls look like they are made out of back to back plaster board. Andooking at the window detailing the external walls don't look much better.
Have you actually been to and inside the property
I do wonder if the Argyll and Bute, no covid cases then boom, lots, has had anything to do with lack of interest. Possibly not, but don’t know.
Probably more down to the fact it's an hours round trip to Helensburgh or up to two and a half to Glasgow (assuming you don't have to contend with golf traffic in summer or flooding at Bowling in winter) with not much to show for £100k other than a view of Inverclyde and a house that needs completely redoing. Personally, if I was spending that I'd want something with a bit more substance.
Looking at the area, you're buying the land and not much else. Whether you can live with the look of the place is up to you but if you ever want to sell...

nope, we saw it advertised on friday and were arranging a viewing for early this week, but they got back to us to say it sold on friday!
could have dodged a bullet. could have been OK for us, don't know. It was lived in full time, so the idea it was a holiday property wasn't right. home report was OK. roof was standard construction, but the walls, being timber frame were not. I think any timber frame would be regarded as non standard (i.e. not stone, brick or block).
A holiday chalet would never have been designed with more than about A 20 year life span.
it's stood there for 60-80 years. pretty sure if it was going to fall down it would have by now.

30-45 mins to helensburgh and about 1h 15 to my work in bishopbriggs, if I need to get there.
anyway, its gone, we are still looking and have included plots too, as self build may well be the way to get something we want, though grand designs it will not be, I also hope that grand designs problems it will not have (as many of). 🙂
Some great kits out there for self build stuff that's for sure.
Pretty sure timber frame is a standard construction or there are a lot of unmortgageable new builds out there. Just depends on the method used I think.

Round trip, not each way 😉
be interesting to see what happens to it going forward.....
" I think any timber frame would be regarded as non standard (i.e. not stone, brick or block)."
Thats not the case and is why i believe its a modified holiday chalet .
but moot point anyway
be interested to see how long till its knocked down
Must admit when I clicked on the link....my immediate reaction was YIKES!
The only reason you wouldn't knock it down, is because you need to live in it for a while, before you knock it down!
