Has just told us,in Country File, that Conan Doyle built his own house ! How many of you knew that he was a builder ??

Was this Undershaw?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undershaw

Seems it is derelict and has not been lived in since 2004.It was a hotel up to 2004.

A developer wants to turn it into flats but a preservation group want to have it Grade 1 listed.
