Once the word was out that I was after a greenhouse, I was fairly swiftly offered an enormous 12' x 8' one with loads of accessories etc. (including 2 water butts and an irrigation system) for a tiny amount of money on the basis that I dismantled it.
The only problem was that I couldn't put it up in my garden yet as a) the space for it wasn't ready and b) I didn't want giant sycamores being felled crashing onto it!
A good friend kindly offered to let me store it at her house until next spring when I'll be ready to erect it.
It took a day and a half to dismantle and transport it but well worth the £40 I paid I think!!
Meantime, I've come to the conclusion that I don't need or want a 12' x 8' one. A friend has an 8' x 8' and that seems a perfect size to me, plus it will fit into a perfect slot on the boundary between the Top and Bottom Gardens, so I'll trim it down to fit. That will also mean that I don't need to replace the one missing pane of glass and also I'll have a few left over for spares or to make a couple of cold frames if I need them. Win/win!
