No!
Or in other words, the cottage has barely been touched since the 17th century and could fall down at any moment. 
The cottage is unspoilt and retains its original character

The house we're looking at has a good roof, but no kitchen. It's broken into apartments currently, so will need new bathrooms and it has no heating at all.

This is nice and clean and cheerful.
I'm a sucker for a nice fireplace. £137,500
