Ideas for the flat entrance door.

 

Yes, this is how it looks at the moment. At least the roof has been repaired 

and all the shrubs and trees cleaned up.

First viewing of the house, this is what I saw.

I had to climb these rock steps to go into the house through the back area on my first viewing.. On climbing the steps with help of the caretaker I said this is to maintain. I think I had decided to buy the house before seeing the house inside.
