Well, there is the guest cottage which is currently rented as holiday accommodation - and quite successfully, too! You can read more about it on the "Riverbend Cottage" website. It has, of course, its own bathroom with shower and toilet. It also has its own entrance gate from the Lane. If not used as holiday accommodation, it would make a perfect permanent home for in-laws, grown-up children, or another tenant.

The property is, of course, connected to the electricity mains and has daily mail delivery as well as a weekly garbage collection. Our water comes straight from Heaven (which provides us with a regular supply, thanks to the surrounding mountain ranges) and there are two large tanks to collect it in. There are two hot water systems: a large off-peak electrical heater for the downstairs bathroom and kitchen and a smaller one for the ensuite upstairs.

A large pond, which in living memory has never dried out (it's rumoured to have a well at the bottom), has its own electrical pumping system to irrigate the garden and vegetable plot. There are two laundries: one inside the downstairs bathroom in the main house, the other at the back of the workshop. The workshop itself is well fitted out with benches and shelving. The three-bay shed is ideal for keeping horses and all the assorted implements that go with a property of this size (a tractor/slasher comes with it).

This kind of unique property comes onto the market once in a lifetime only! So how much would you prepared to pay for it? Here are some dispassionate calculations.
