I found this beauty. A combination of gorgeous original features with a few modern touches. Light and airy. Beautiful grounds. Close to motorway networks to Glasgow/Edinburgh/Stirling. Eight bedrooms probably too much for me but I guess I could have some more children... Hmm.

The bathrooms in the footballer's house are lovely, less said about the rest the better - especially the mirror over the bed.

FromEden, if I ever want to settle in Las Vegas (and have $1million plus dollars to spend Wink) I'd like to have a look at this place.

SexlessBoulderBelly, two very different properties, and I wonder how long the second one will be on the market. And no, I don't have £1million either Shock.

massistar I see exactly what you mean. This would be my ideal home too and I would not change a thing.

fishonabicycle, Cabbage Stalk Lane - there's an interesting address Grin. One of the bedrooms has that fantastic library wallpaper that I love.

Yes, the contemporary house (with 'versatile temple attached' 😂) is horribly decorated and furnished. It's so drably and timidly suburban. The new house looks a bit 1970s to me in design and it needs that sort of internal treatment.

"The Old Ride" that's my nickname, lol Grin, VenusClapTrap. No, not really, couldn't resist. It looks like the master bedroom has another bedroom off it, accessed through the master bedroom. Is that right?

Cheapest properties -

1 bed flat for 20k. Main disadvantages seem to be no central heating and no shower, just bath, and a bit dingy overall but perfectly liveable in:

Cheapest house at £40k - newly decorated with brand new kitchen and bathroom. My main concern would be that the washing machine sitting in the living room means that they couldn't get it downstairs to the basement kitchen.

AmmoniaAvenue am liking that first one very, very much. Second one's nice too, though.

anxioussue That seems really cheap for a tourist destination.

GoldenKelpie · 15/12/2019 14:01

That's it! duggeehug85 just for that store room filled with junk, that will be for DH (he says he isn't a hoarder, he is).

Within 5 miles, highest prices is o/o £490k -which gets you a modern 5 bedroom (4 ensuite) / 3 reception room detached house. Not to my taste particularly, but quite a lot of house for the money: www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-66881307.html
