If I were to get into YC and become rich, I would buy this. Granted it would need a lot of repairs but it is so big you can just take one section and make it really nice. Maybe do a little server colocation in one section, a couple of apartments, school tours during part of the year, but otherwise just keep it peaceful.
I don't want to load up YC Hacker news with questionable articles, but I think this is some pretty hacker worthy property.

- pg 19y agoIt's extremely suspicious that he doesn't show pictures of the interior, because he did the last time he listed it. I wonder if something bad has happened to the place since then.
- andyn 19y agoI joked on reddit that it was cheap compared to UK house prices. But you'd probably spend more on getting the place liveable: At best it's empty inside, at worst, it's flooded, covered in years of graffiti and crap, the doors and stairs have rusted away and it's full of asbestos and other toxic materials.
