The turret is extremely cool I will grant you, would love one on my house 🤣. Maybe if it were somewhere else it’d be a great house. It’s all about the three “L”s for me.

I am interested in this stuff as i will be in a very similar position in the next couple of years. Of course the OP could have both my flats in leith for that much money! I am keeping my eye on the market in that area of tweed valley to Edinburgh as for me it has everything I want bar the mountains but family and friends mean I don't want to move too far North

How about this one then? OK its Gala which is not the nicest of the towns but a train into Edinburgh for city stuff and nice and close to world class trails

Nettles - lovely house. Gorgeous garden.
But, do you actually live there? Its so clean and tidy (only teasing because I know one has to clean their properties within an inch of it's life to put on the market.)

I scrubbed our old house for a week before placing on the market. However most of the properties we viewed we're disgusting, including one, where the woman proudly told us she was a professional cleaner.

We bought the worse house on a road in a nice area and did it up.

Top trails are literally just behind it. We rode them last Sunday, brilliant local fun.

Yeah that’s more like it! And it’s got the turret 😀 Bit of nightmare for the removal guys, but that’s their problem 🤣

I think the first answer on page 1 was the best!

Elshalimo - I live in NE Cumbria (Brampton), where is the MTBing and hillwalking of which you speak? You have to drive a fair way to find either.

Hills look out of the window!!

MTB you're nearer to decent MTB routes than many people

Penrith is probably a better location

There aren't any good MTB routes closer than 30 minutes drive. There are legal-ish routes nearby, but nothing to compare to the Lakes, 45 mins away. There are hills of course, but again, nothing wonderful nearer than 30 minutes or so. Having said that, I've done a lot of walking round here.

Fair point, I'd still like to live up there.

What was the budget, I've forgotten?
