Just checking the houses for sale in my area and found this little gem, no way can I afford it but if I was in lockdown here I would be happy!

Be fab if you have a big family and live in staff.

If you lived on your own it would just be lonely in a big house...

I've also been looking at property porn and considering where I would buy my next lockdown property. Grin

Jesus no. Those stairs would kill me to clean Grin

georgous house

@DontGoIntoTheLongGrass if I lived there I wouldn't be cleaning my own stairs!!

Doingtheboxerbeat · 04/04/2020 13:39

But I haven't put it up for sale yet, cf's Grin.

Not sure what I would do with the extra 12, 350 square feet. Think of all the hoovering!

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 04/04/2020 13:40

It's a great size! Bit of a flashy style of decor which I don't like. It's similar to the footballer houses near me.

This one for me. Still a tad flashy but I like the character.

PickwickThePlockingDodo · 04/04/2020 13:57

Ooh that's lovely OP.
I don't like the 2nd one so much. Ha, like I'd turn it down given the opportunity.

DisgraceToTheYChromosome · 04/04/2020 14:15

New Field House for me. Move the kids in, spend the rest of our lives playing in the pool with DGS. But... no more sea views from the end of our road, no decent chippy, and those floors!

Waterandlemonjuice · 04/04/2020 14:22

OP, I have time on my hands - the bottle of wine shown in that hoise is about £200 a bottle!

I like the swimming pool but not keen on the rest of the house. I’m also wondering if the skull pictures are Damien If they are they’re also ££££

Waterandlemonjuice · 04/04/2020 14:24

I like this

I love a Queen Anne facade

Waterandlemonjuice · 04/04/2020 14:25

Damien Hirst that should have said

Waterandlemonjuice · 04/04/2020 14:28

This is nice too

homemadecommunistrussia · 04/04/2020 14:30

God no, these houses are so naf and tacky. Ugh

AppleKatie · 04/04/2020 14:34

Both lovely but not decorated to my taste and both would require live in staff to keep nice.

ofwarren · 04/04/2020 14:35

Not my taste.
Looks like a posh hotel. It doesnt have any character at all.
We are all different though.

AppleKatie · 04/04/2020 14:36

Sorry xpost - Queen Anne the clear thread winner.

I don’t like the box by the sea. Who wants to bath with that many sailors looking in the window? 😯😉

ofwarren · 04/04/2020 14:37

I prefer the one @waterandlemonjuice shared.
More homely and less flashy

lakeswimmer · 04/04/2020 15:04

Definitely the Cheltenham one. It's gorgeous with lovely grounds - the others are a bit blingy.

willowpatterns · 04/04/2020 15:13

The photos of the first house are good - must have been an estate agent who knows how to use a camera properly Smile

Whatevah · 04/04/2020 15:16

Agh! How did that monstrosity by the sea get planning permission?!
The Queen Anne one is the nicest, but none are wowing me.
I don't like the big modern piles. My in laws have one. They are built and fully kitted out, accessories, chairs, vases, nic nacks galore...and zero personality. You buy it lock,stock and barrel. None of your own stuff. Totally weird.

BloomedAgain · 04/04/2020 15:20

I love the pointless wine shot in the first listing. Grin

Jenasaurus · 04/04/2020 15:34

its nice to dream from my 2 bed flat :) to be honest its the people your with that make lockdown bearable
