Hang some curtains and stick a couple of rugs down and move straight in

Just what I was thinking, mossy, couple of tins of dulux and it's done.

You could always Artex over the cracks if you wanted to do a pukka job.

Aye and a couple of rolls of woodchip.

Location, location, location........

This property is just outside Hawick. You could spend millions on it but it's location renders it permenantly uninhabitable and utterly worthless.

Park a caravan outside and enjoy it as is

[QUOTE 4558592, member: 9609"]make a clearing in the tress and fly it in by helicopter?, I was there this morning, it is a bit of a battle to get in on foot, its a bit odd/spooky, I wouldn't like to go there after dark. [/QUOTE]
That's ok, my mate got his chopper licence earlier this year.
Odd/spooky no longer an issue for me after seeing that UFO.......

Fatlips Castle, about 5 miles away from Cavers on the other side of the Teviot, used to look like this.

It looked like a basket case but has now been restored and looks like this -

Quite hard to get to, but it's a superb vantage point from which to watch @User9609's soggy retreat home.

It was occupied until the 1950s, so presumably it had electricity somehow. Maybe not mains though, and an onsite generator would be ruinous today. Make an offer of £50,000 and start a glamping business with Egyptian cotton on the beds. Or get a generator and start growing skunk.

[QUOTE 4559209, member: 9609"]I was just looking at some pictures I took when I was there - I didn't notice this at the time but check out the light in the attic room - there is no room behind that window and look at the strange shape bird in the top left hand corner.[/QUOTE]
From the looks of it there is no window for there to be a room behind, just a hole
