How big is the plot? and would the new owner have to build/rebuild in the same style as say the cottage next door?

Just under an Acre, unsure of what youd get away with style wise.

Not sure what the present regs are but a couple of decades back you could get a grant for building a new house next to a ruin like that, but NOT if you were using part of the original. Made no sense to me!

Over here you got massive grants but you had to use one existing wall line for the new one. There’s been a couple of new houses built on the old footprint in the last four or five years around Bowmore and when you see the house, you think how much nicer it would have been if they had built it further back from the road

If I only had another £500 I would be buying this place. The shed itself is massive with a pit and workshop etc

Best not leave her unattended up there for too long!! :eek:
A lot of them don’t have TV and only a few have the wireless radio :rolleyes:
They still practice the old style entertainment up there. That’s why there’s a lot of confusion around Father’s Day here:):););):confused:

Are you kidding if I left her up there, she would be the only one on the island everyone would leave
she's a loony o_O:D:D:D
