Notes ✧ would be inward-focussed, thus not a hub despite having the size
✦ village is a bit depressed but is quite pleasant with some greenspaces including a nice riverfront
✦ limited paths; good trails ascending 150m in little forested hills 35mins bike/15mins drive; bus connects; 25mins by train to kayaking and more trails along little gorge; lake with sailing/sup/lots of trails 30mins drive
✦ decent town 30mins train
✦ modern theatre; covered and open tennis; gymnasium
✦ regular outdoor markets
about 350m2 per floor with 3 floors; advertised as about 2 floors usable
✦ attic not usable due to beams, some of which are bent and haphazardly reenfroced with iron; however if supported strategically with columns below should survive longer without needing replacement, and positioning such columns wouldn't be hard with completely new internal layout
fantastic collonade onto courtyard and solariumon above along 1st floor
✦ needs stripping and all windows replacing including the alngeth of the solarium
✦ amazingly not a protected building
