Richie, I can see because of the grass on the 'roof' and in the 'rain gutters' that this farmhouse is already in this state. By not demolishing it, it still adds a characteristic element to the environment, otherwise it would have become a less photogenic place.
If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins!

Another beautiful photo of English history, Richie. The surfacing of the smaller stones in the walls is what I plan to do when I rebuild and remodel my living room fireplace, getting rid of the tacky and sooty white brick that is there now. My guess is that it was installed at a time in the early 1970s, when white brick (the chipped style) was popular. It is also my guess that the guy also wore white vinyl shoes to church on Sundays. The meandering stone wall at the bottom belies the age of the place but I am a bit confused at the white ^line^ running across the bottom at a slightly downward angle, from left to right, unless that is due to fence wire, like the multi-wire fence above it. I like a photo that makes me think, taking me back to my career.
