What are property prices like in England for a small rural farm??

DH wants to move there someday and work for some video game company (the Viva Pinata guys)...

ETA: The company is RareWare in Leicestershire? Hmmmm.

Smallholdings can be very dear. That's why I'll almost live in a rural, blighted impoverished region.

Have a good trip! I'm all too familiar with late working and all nighters.

I have many male relatives on my mother's side (those barmy ones from Herefodshire) who died in their 30's from heart attacks. Hearing this, my doctor put me on asprin and cholesterol medication at age 28. I was actually in good shape back then, too, lifting weights. But, I always had horrific cholesterol (300+).

I blame you and your country.

One good thing about living here is we won't lock the doors when we leave.

I just Googled some property and it looks like £ 775 000 + for 50 acres w/ a nice farmhouse on it.

Google says: UK£ 775 000 = 1.16405 million U.S. dollars

Can' blame me darling.... it's the chocolate........dont mention heart attacks its the same in our family....my brother was only 35 when he had to have his viens "blown" to remove arterial fluff!....so you leave those scotch eggs and curry alone! You can only blame the UK for cholestrol because it is cold and then it makes your arteries shrivel up trying to keep the blood warm!
