Babe.
We there?
No, sorry. Would you give her
a call? We're gonna be late.
Got a bit lost to be honest.
- There's no signal.
- No signal at all?
Welcome to Scotland.
No, this is great.
If this place
can be ours at this price...
...it'd be amazing.
- It's a lovely view.
- It's gorgeous.
Aye, it's gorgeous.
It's gorgeous.
It's beautiful.
Scotland, here we come.
- Mrs. Chapman.
- Yes, hello.
Hello. I'm Flo. Flo Douglas
from Armstrong and Graham.
So lovely to meet you.
I'm Sarah.
This is my husband, Ed.
- Hello.
- Hello. Welcome to Castle Farm.
Thank you, I'm sorry we're late,
somewhere.
If you're not familiar
with the lay of the land
it's easy to run into trouble
around here
and your mobile phones
will be of no use.
They're still a thing
of the future.
You won't be able
to survive out here.
I can do without my phone.
I don't think so.
It's glued to her hand.
Um...
- Shall we look at the property?
- Yes, please.
So, the main house
and the outbuildings
date back to the 19th century
that there's been a settlement
of one kind or another
on this spot since the 1300s
so it comes with
a lot of history.
Was there really a castle here?
It was Peel House.
Not really a castle,
more a fortification.
It was the site
of a ferocious battle
between the Scots and
the English at one point.
Who won?
That depends on who you talk to.
So. There's two reception
rooms off the hallway here,
a kitchen to the rear
plus a cold store.
Upstairs, there's three
double bedrooms, one en suite,
one single and a bathroom.
And there's 1.5 acres,
I believe.
Ed, look at this.
Could have some cozy
dinner parties in here.
Do you know many people
in the area?
Not a soul.
Not to worry,
you'll soon meet folk.
Scotland's a very
friendly country.
- Sweet, aren't they?
- Yeah.
Has there been a structural
survey on this place recently?
Not that I know of, but I'm sure
everything's tickety boo.
These old houses
were built to last.
God, look at these views.
So what happened
with the previous owner?
Mr. Nixon.
He, um... He ran into bother
some years ago now.
He borrowed money from the bank
to keep the farm going,
couldn't pay it back.
Now it's owned by some
finance company in the south.
All that's left is the house,
the outbuildings
- and the field out back.
- Did they have to evict him?
No, he was here until the end.
Put up quite a fight, too.
Been in his family
for three generations.
He didn't have any family
to pass it on to?
Yes, he had a number of sons...
Some are still in the valley,
one's off fighting in the war,
but when old Willy died,
the house became
the property of the bank.
So did he die in the house?
- He did, yes.
- That's a shame.
Yes, it was...
It was very emotional actually.
Has there been much interest?
Well, there's a shortage
of property in the area
so there's always a lot of
interest from the locals.
And have there been any offers?
Yes, yes,
there have been offers,
but nothing realistic,
shall we say.
I guess a lot of people are put
off by the state of the place.
There's a lot of work that needs
doing before it's livable.
It's at a state of disarray,
that's true.
But for the local people
it's more the price
that's the problem.
For what there is it's amazing,
I mean it's quite reasonable.
By city standards perhaps,
but for the local market
it's, um, too much.
So it's ours
for the taking then.
It's exactly the kind of project
