I checked my emails for my lottery win. It just hasn't turned up yet. I'm sure it's just delayed.

Nice, lovely streetview as the bins are framed beautifly by the landscape beyond.

If you like remote it's a nice location, the house looks like it needs flattening and if you don't mind the sword of crofters*, it has a lot to offer if you like fishing / hunting etc. Pawn location, house not so much for me.

*Under Scottish law, crofting tenants have an automatic right to buy their tenanted crofts from their landlord should they choose to do so. As with many similarly crofted estates, some tenants choose to exercise this right and others do not.

Also enshrined within Scottish law is the right of Crofting Community Bodies (CCBs) to exercise their right to buy a larger area of land which is subject to crofting legislation (i.e., land subject to common grazings) where it can be demonstrated that the CCB’s use and management of the land is in accordance with the interests of the community.

With this legislation having been introduced by the Land Reform (Scotland) Act of 2003, there have been a small number of CCB purchases of land – notably in the Outer Hebrides.

A further opportunity under current Scottish law which stands apart from Crofting Legislation is that of a Community Right to Buy. This enables community bodies anywhere in Scotland to register an interest in land which gives them the opportunity to buy that land when the owner chooses to offer it for sale.

A nice chunk of Wensleydale (Gromit).
South facing, good garaging, good pub in the village and the partially converted outbuildings will give me something to do.

Only thing I'd change is some of the decor inside the main house.

It's a right to roam, not meander through back gardens.

And as it's person's right they're not trespassing.

It’s a heritage line, not currently operating as they are fundraising to replace the track bed

You’ll get more noise from the Army going bang bang all round there than a steam train

Do you view the right to buy croft land as a bad thing?

That would presumably depend upon whether you’re tenant or landlord.

Not exactly a surprise to either party, crofting law has existed for ~150 years.

Well that's very true - but far too much land is in the hands of a small number of, usually, overseas / absentee landowners - so any mechanism to move to move it back into the hands of people who live and work the land is a very good thing in my view.

The land ownership situation in Scotland is absurd and the SNP are as captured by the establishment as the rest. Community buy-out law is a very blunt instrument, largely dependent on taxpayer largesse and there being a business case, outside that govt policy is so slanted in favour of large landowners it's laughable. It's not like landowners are giving them bungs either, it's just st government.

This is just to my taste and in a great part of the world. It’s a very liveable house with a nice amount of land and plenty of space for toys. I notice that the agent has listed it as being in Malton rather than Pickering which is closer, but Malton is a trendy town so they’re being a little cheeky there…

Some red flags with this one?

“Photographs, particulars and showreel: photos June 2022 details May 2024”

Lot 1 is a very particular shape implying some responsibility for a hedgerow or drainage culvert perhaps?

Next to a working livestock farm?
