Hi Mark,
Just a little comment about your comment. Don't you think that the site we are on is as you have described. Personally I think we should set up , if you want to call it, 'Friends of Peircefield ' trust or charity. From this we can get funding and grants etc, without it there won't be much chance.
A plan needs to be put in place.
1. Funds to buy the property.
2. Funds to do up.
I think it's that simple. It will be a very long process and alot of hard work. Someone mentioned volunteers to clear the grounds, that's a good idea.
How much is it up for sale for, I think it was £2 million the last time I looked. It might be possible to purchase the house separately from the, what was it, 123 acres, or look at separating the house from the outbuildings, leaving the cottage etc for the vendors to keep, with an option of us buying at a later stage, because we can't get the whole amount to purchase straight away.
Just some thoughts, but if anyone wants to do this, then they need to communicate some ideas pronto and not just a few comments about how sad the place looks.
