Ignore the property... check out the shed with the car peeping out (fixed the link now!)

Sitting here thinking of the ways I could make money if that was mine haha. Paintball gulag tourneys, hotel, burnout comps, battle reenactment shows. Film set. Etc etc

MGF rear end.

Seems an expensive way to get hold of an MGF

You can only make money from something like that if you can afford to buy it outright and leave the cash in it until you sell it. Something for very wealthy people to consider. You couldn't generate the asking price and the cost of renovation from any sort of scheme I can think of as it would be a hella lot of money to earn if you could figure it out.

I imagine you might contact the owner and see if you could remove the car without buying the fort.

Amazing what you can get away from London, that's the price of a half decent 3 bed semi round here!

there is a lot of building there but it's not as big as it looks. If you look at the floor plans it is just a thin row of rooms running round a quadrangle. Also... you'd have to spend a lot on renovations. Probably in the region of £100-200k to make it half acceptable.. add more if you wanted to make changes.

Good luck with that, £200k would get swallowed up in 10 mins & wouldn’t even cover the cost of the windows. You’d not make that even half decent for less than mil
Also it’s grade 2 listed, so you ain’t doing ‘what you want’ you’re doing what they tell you.

100% this, and might not even get planning to be able to use it as living accommodation.

I found this property a while back and when I looked into it I am sure there was a resident in the property, perhaps an annex or something like that and with the sale of the property they were to remain housed on the site or something along those lines. Looked at so many they all blend into one!

I looked at a listed tythe barn from the early 1800s which had no roof and trees growing in it. I said it would be ideal and had some money to spend but every single member of my family said it couldn't be done so we bought a Victorian property which required substantial roof work, every wall plastering, all the windows changing, kitchen and all bathrooms doing... and somebody else bought the tythe barn and renovated it pretty quickly. We're hardly even started doing up our house which cost 200k more than the barn.
