The maintenance costs of the chateau will be quite something

Exactly.  would much rather live in an inner city bedsit with only 4 walls to paint than a massive pile in the country with all grass and flower beds and sh1t.

I'd rather live in the chateau.  Just need a good gardener, a friend in the town hall planning department, a very good builder, a cleaner and £100k a year to pay for a it.

I'd rather knock it down and build a new house on the land.
