Have you seen Downton Abbey?

I know I've beaten this to death but after watching the 2 hour 3rd season premier tonight I saw this little fixer for only ₤1 million (thats $1,625,300 US).    With a new roof, re-pointed exterior renovation by the Scotland College of Agriculture, and 31.5 acres.   This would be a fun hotel and destination wedding location.   And if you read up at Wiki they have some history of the Wallace's on the site.


UPDATE:   Of course, I knew it wouldn't be cheap, but the upkeep on these is significantly more than I imagined.   Looks like the heating is running  £30 ($46.56/hr) and that's not including the regular upkeep of the grounds, facilities and cleaning.
