A manse, a mansion, and a villa on a loch
I did have this idea about gathering some apocalypse-ready escape houses to show you this week. But then decided that would be a trite response to this week's horrors ( #standwithukraine ). So instead, here are some sweet wrecks in pretty places to distract and inspire. Let's start here. There are no inside pix of Finnart (above and below), on the lovely shores of Holy Loch , Argyle and Bute. But given that the detached villa is listed as uninhabitable, with "many of the walls and floors having been removed", and is Category C-listed and is only for sale as a restoration, not a re-development project, we talking serious, battle-hardened restoration buffs only. The sort who would scoff at pictures of partial rooms and watered walls (wet rot, dry rote and structural reports are available "by request"). But damn, is Finnart pretty. And it's position and views and that 1.25 acres of garden surrounding it. On the market at offers over £175k via Waterside...
