I came across this today on my walk and it really appealed to me .Something about it reminds me of the Wizard Of Oz film

Iâm not sure if quirky is the word ⊠or just derelict.
Something tells me one good winter storm and itâll be off down the road.

I love this! A few more planks and a hanging basket or two, it would be great! Oh and a lick of paintâŠmaybe mint green? Some stones to edge along a wee pathâŠa couple of gnomesâŠ

Just up the lane from me is this one, itâs in a similar dilapidated state, ripe for redevelopment (demolishing and rebuilding that is):
However, just look at the view from there over open countryside, quite something!

Back in the 80âs there used to be loads of old abandoned farms and rickety outbuildings.
The developers get their hands on them now.
It makes you wonder where all the evicted bats and owls relocate to.
The law is on the wildlife side now. There are many regulations about all kinds of wildlife from rare reptiles such as newts through to bats. The council planning departments are very hard on the developers, building has been delayed until proper alternative ways of preserving wildlife are found and approved.

Not before time too ⊠there was a development near me that got seriously held up when it was discovered that bats lived in the nearby woodland.
Looks like it has Air Conditioning too! 
Brilliant, I wonder how many more like these with such charactor are about , Id love to see some more .yours looks a bit more up market than mine , it looks like a chimney at the end wall .
I believe it was at one time a farm labourerâs dwelling, how many yearsâ ago I donât know. I know the farmer who owns it and some time ago another person told me it was up for sale with some surrounding land at an asking price of ÂŁ150,000. If I was 20 or 30 yearsâ younger I might be interested, it would be ideal for demolishing and building a property on the site, especially with that outlook over open countryside. There is a farm further along but even that wouldnât be a problem living there. Unfortunately I cannot turn the years back so itâs no more than a âmight have beenâ dream.
