They say that only a couple of bedrooms and a kitchen has heating. The rest is not very pleasant in winter months.

It gets down to the 50s (or sometimes high 40s). There are fireplaces. Not saying it would be my choice but it's not unreasonable given apparently existing fireplaces plus electric heaters. (My house is never above mid-60s in the winter with heat.)

But, yes, I'm sure maintenance is in the $100K+ a year area easily.

Which sounds like a huge renovation bill if you actually want to use the thing (plus most buildings of this type tend to be light in things like indoor plumbing)

Who said you would get permission to renovate? It's historic and made from stone. You can't add windows or insulation, it needs constant ventilation to prevent mould (no water barrier in the construction).

Basically it's only pleasant in the summer or if you're being raided by a neighbouring state.

It will do when the Spanish attack.
