BUYING a crumbling, century-old mansion on a Sri Lankan hillside for £315,000 is a gamble many would shy away from taking - but one that s paid off royally for four pals.
Built in 1912 by the son of a wealthy plantation owner, the villa - named Halala Kanda and known locally as Firefly Hill - once played hosts to guests such as Australian cricket star Keith Miller.
