Saw this folly on Grand Designs this season. It looks amazing! I wonder why it's up for sale already?

I saw the episode with this GD, and thought at the time that it was totally impractical. I particularly hate the spiral staircase indoors, along with the hideous exterior staircase, which just looks so wrong, to me. I also think the proximity of trees would affect light levels and despite being on a large plot there is no real privacy. From the outside it's a pretty building, but as it stands it isn't homely. I reckon most people with £850K to spend would want a lot more for their money, the owners are deluded if they expect to get that much.
It might work well as tea rooms, though, if planning consent for a change of use could be granted.

It's beautiful building but it's not a great family home! I can definitely see why they're selling.

There's also another grand designs property up for sale at the moment...

GymnGyn, That house certainly has the wow factor! The outside is a little too cubic/modern for my taste, but the inside it has a lot going for it - all those spacious rooms, such a light airy feel to it. I prefer the outside of the Folly mentioned in the OP, but the interior space of this house, but that's obviously an impossible combination. Just as well that I don't have several million pounds to spend on property, I'd be a nightmare to please!

To live in it's so small with stupid walls. I think it's awful.

No surprise here. It was far too small to begin with.

Wow, that one is lovely Gym. I think I remember watching that episode. Gorgeous, I'd love to live there!
