Look at this house and tell me you don’t love it!

Look at this house; great for when we win the lottery

I used to live in the next door village, ten mins walk. Wonersh is a beautiful proper village (not typical Surrey) and but I agree £4m is a lot.

It's a bit much

I'd definitely get rid of that lake!

Ok... er... how??

I’d rattle around like a pea in a drum in a house like that. It would require staff, constant maintenance, expense upon expense. I’d feel completely out of my depth. Would make a nice, upmarket boutique hotel though.

As long as they don't leave any of their furniture behind - truly awful taste!
Did cross my mind whether that pond would have rats!

@hollyhead Much nicer - especially once we've stripped those feature walls.

Pond is nice enough, but probably a total mare to maintain.

Swimming pool will be fucking freezing for 90% of the year. And will burn money. House itself is chintzy and ceilings are claustrophobic. From the floorplan, the bedrooms are pretty titchy and the downstairs seems to be divided up into a million little rooms (study, family room, etc etc) which feels poky - I’d much prefer something a bit more open plan.

I’m glad somebody likes it, but even if I won the lottery I wouldn’t buy it - it wouldn’t suit me. If money was no object, I’d have a Georgian townhouse in Bath. High ceilings, airy, lots of space.

Why cant I see it. When I click on the link it shows a feature about 5 art deco houses

On preview, I want Hollyhead’s house. Love Cheltenham too, much nicer than Surrey.

Perfect! DH loves fishing, him and DCs can have the boat house/shed and I'll have the house.

Pretty but wrong location for me. Love my city too much to leave.

This one has an indoor swimming pool, is a short walk from the beach and has history.

It's pretty but I hate the low, beamed ceilings and couldn't be arsed with all the high maintenance extras.

I must see the toilets and showers before I make a decision.

Meh 🤷🏻‍♀️

BeUtiful pool and lake but a quick google search shows it to be very built up in stockbroker belt type way. Obvs 12 acres is great but surrounded by really similar houses - hundreds of them. I’d feel socially claustrophobic.

I much prefer Holly head's too.

Either an authentic, architect-designed mid-century property or a Georgian, Victorian or Edwardian villa (in a city) would be my dream homes.

Liking the Marazion property (linked by ElGuardiandenoche) I'd go with that one, then keep the extra million plus for a nice sun holiday or two.

Inspired by this thread I took a look at million euro properties around (well same city) as me.

I'm feeling a bit confused by the access to the kitchen from the front door in this one (floor plan in photos):

Also having looked at the photos in this one and the other linked ones, photograph in Estate agencies seems a bit lacking in thought!!

Ok, everyone stop panicking!! I've figured out that access to the kitchen. They are downstairs not just turn in up stairs.

As you were ...

That one is more to my taste. Access to the kitchen is down the half flight of stairs at the end of the hallway.

I love it.

The ceilings are too low in the first house - I couldn't live there. I can see its appeal though.

ElGuardian that’s definitely my favourite house!
History, a library, a beach and decent weather. Perfect.

And the room with all the bandits in-what is that all about?
