Chapter 373: Bought it
In addition to the hall on the first floor, there are four rooms, all of which are in the front, there is a relatively large kitchen and utility room in the back, and there is also a basement underground, but Lin Quan doesn't know whether to call it a basement or a cellar?
The two of them went up the stairs to the second floor, the second floor is usually the room where the lords live, and the design here will be divided into master bedrooms and second bedrooms, the master bedroom is obviously the room where the lords live, although this kind of old castle cannot have a separate bathroom. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info. However, the master bedroom has a lot of space, and there is a lot of room for remodeling.
The area of the second bedroom is smaller, but it is still larger than the second bedroom in the modern commercial house, this kind of bedroom generally has a window, and the position near the window is a chapter table, this kind of table is against the wall, next to the window, there is a bay window outside, but the ancient bay window is a little different from the modern bay window.
There will be a fireplace in the room, you can burn a fire to keep warm in winter, and there is a relatively large living room in the middle of the second floor, which makes Lin Quan a little surprised, it is not strange to have a living room on the first floor, but it is a little incredible that there is also a living room on the second floor.
Overall, however, the castle is not small, much larger than the previous Château de Girards in France.
Of course, the price of the two is completely different, you get what you pay for, and this rule is suitable wherever you put it.
There is one more floor further up, the third floor.
The layout of the third floor has not changed much compared to the second floor, but half of the area is an open-air platform, and further up is a small attic, which is basically equivalent to the role of a lookout post.
Lin Quan looked at it all the way, and he roughly had a plan in his heart.
This castle is large in area, but the facilities are old, and after buying it, it will have to be renovated, mainly inside, similar to electrical wiring, heating, natural gas pipes, etc.
He was a little worried in his heart, the age of this castle seemed to be quite small, and such a project seemed to be a bit big for it, so could he afford it?
"These fireplaces have to be removed, and the way of heating is not necessary, and these open flames are still relatively damaging to the home, and it is easy to cause the surrounding walls to be desoldered!"
Lin Quan agrees with this, most of the castles in medieval Europe have this function, digging a stove in the wall, lighting a fire to keep warm, from the TV movie, this thing is still quite good, but in fact it is not the same thing at all.
This thing is actually not easy to use, and even said that it is too difficult to use, if you add firewood into it in winter, you will smoke people to death, and if you add carbon fire, there is no special charcoal burning, which is very troublesome, generally speaking, people who still keep this thing now, basically use anthracite, but anthracite is industrial coal, this thing is more expensive, and carbon monoxide is produced when coal burns has a permanent toxic effect on the human body, Lin Quan will not think that he has a long life, and burns coal at home.
In this airtight and impermeable place, if you burn coal for a day, you may have to live for several days!
Coming out of the castle, the enthusiasm of the two decreased a lot.
If you see the castle now, you probably won't be so fanatical, and you fantasize about having a castle that is tall and mighty, preferably with strong walls and a wide moat, and this castle meets that condition, that is, high and strong walls.
But this city wall is exactly what Lin Quan is not very satisfied with, and now he doesn't expect to rely on fighting, keeping this ring city wall will only block the light on the first or even the second floor, and will not bring them any improvement in safety, so if they really want to buy it, then Lin Quan will definitely tear down this ring city wall and trim it into a two-meter-high wall, so that the light on the first floor will be greatly improved.
But there is no need to rush this matter, after all, he didn't buy this castle either.
"Done?"
Old Brighton said with a smile when he saw the two of them coming out of the castle.
Lin Quan nodded, "The area of the castle is very large, and it is very well preserved, even the city walls are there!"
Henry sat honestly on the side, he didn't come over at this time, Lin Quan said hello to him, he just responded, and didn't see any other movements, and his previous enthusiasm seemed to be gone.
Lin Quan poked Denise in the arm, signaling that he estimated that old Brighton had made a decision.
Denise blinked, indicating that she understood.
"Hehe, it's not me blowing to you, if it were someone else, Kendi wouldn't be so concerned, but our Brighton family is more serious, and we can't bear to see such a castle collapse little by little, so we will make a little effort!"
Lin Quan complained in his heart: It would be nice if I made more efforts, no matter how I said that I had to solve the supporting facilities in the castle!
Although they didn't hear any strange sounds after they went in, Lin Quan felt that this castle was a little gloomy, the second and third floors were fine, and the first floor felt particularly gloomy after entering because of the light, this was originally the end of the year, and the weather was cold, so it felt even colder after entering.
"Mr. Brighton, after we bought the castle, we need to carry out drastic renovations, including demolishing the outer walls, repainting and renovating and improving the supporting facilities, we also need to spend a lot of money, can you make it cheaper, 1.1 million pounds, farm plus castle, how about it?"
Although he is not satisfied with the castle, but this castle cannot fall into the hands of others, although the location of this farm is close to the sea, there is a lot of saline-alkali land, but for Lin Quan, saline-alkali land is not a problem, he naturally has a way to solve it, but if he takes down this farm, but this castle falls into the hands of others, then it will not be easy to get it in the future.
He planned to count on the farm to do some black technology on the farm, but there was no hope at all, others climbed to the top of his building, looked down, and saw everything clearly, which Lin Quan couldn't tolerate.
"Girl, you're really too ruthless in bargaining, aren't you?
Although old Brighton didn't care how much money he had, he was very dissatisfied with being killed so hard all of a sudden.
"Mr. Brighton, this price is not low! Think about it, your farm is a large area of saline land, and there are still empty shells without supporting equipment in the castle, and these two things need to be renovated by themselves after they are bought, and not many people are willing to do this thing that costs money and takes time!"
