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!

Agh! How did that monstrosity by the sea get planning permission?!

It’s my favourite out of all those posted! I love a modern house with huge windows!

Whatevah · 06/04/2020 15:14

My son does too, and I know everyone’s taste varies. But to me that house is so out of place in that spot, it really takes over. It’s the location more than the house itself that I objet too.

I love the outside of this but it would need to be changed back to a dwelling.

@Janedoughnut - I was looking at the the other day as I don't live too far away and had been to Wentworth (in the Before Time). It does need to be a home rather than an awful office. Makes me feel sad for it...

Oblomov20 · 06/04/2020 16:54

I don't like it. The rooms don't seem that big. Not keen on the decor.

MT2017 · 06/04/2020 19:36

Would love to be on lockdown in the first house - pool, fantastic views, BBQ, games room, cinema...you wouldn't miss anything!

itsgettingweird · 06/04/2020 19:39

I've definitely been locked up for too long.

I was imagining a game of skidding across those shiny marble doors being great fun!

Followed by a swim in the pool, a game of pool and watching TV! Less inclined to use the tennis courts but that kitchen was amazing!

Seetheprettysnowdrops · 06/04/2020 20:47

It's lovely to dream

I work bloody hard but could never envisage owning anything like these. My whole house would fit into their kitchen

Yes I'm jealous Smile

Cherrysoup · 06/04/2020 20:51

@Janedoughnut but they’ve remove all the character and original features inside. It’s a plain box, just a beautiful facade. 😥 Criminal.

Pavlova31 · 06/04/2020 21:19

So the Cornish box one you are supposed to have a bath visible to all the occupants of the boats outside ? Blush

Pavlova31 · 06/04/2020 22:20

I agree with you Cherrysoup.
All the original character gone Sad

Myhouse2011 · 06/04/2020 22:29

Was the second one Peter Andres? Or did I dream that?

HerRoyalNotness · 06/04/2020 22:34

Love the cherry sculpture in the OP house and the view.
The Cornwall is my favourite, love that type of seaside dwelling

OP, it's a bit...ummm, flashy....don't you think?

Crikey, I wouldn't have a clue how to furnish these old piles. You need about 20 armchairs per room! Love the St.Just location and prefer modern

WorriedMummyNow · 06/04/2020 23:06

That first one is literally the most perfect house for me I've ever seen, and I'm no stranger to property porn! Wow! There's literally nothing I would change. Shame it's never going to happen! Sad

koshkatt · 06/04/2020 23:10

Lottery? Grin

Jupiters · 06/04/2020 23:20

Amazing, but I noticed when I opened the link it was mysterious unpriced. I dread to even think how much it is!

AngeloMysterioso · 06/04/2020 23:33

I like a lot of things about the first house- that view!! But most of the garden seems to be taken up by the pool, and really how much of the year is it realistically warm enough for an outdoor pool? Seems like a waste of space.

Plus that whole place would be a bitch to baby-proof. The stair gates alone...

NotNowPlzz · 06/04/2020 23:42

Wayyy too big and far too much responsibility for me. I'd like the bedrooms split into 3-4 separate flats (with kitchens obvs) and we share the facilities. Anyone want to club together a few quid and we can get it Grin

FrankiesKnuckle · 06/04/2020 23:43

Perfect.

For teletubbies.

NotNowPlzz · 06/04/2020 23:48

@FrankiesKnuckle I love interesting architecture but that is... Uninviting. From the outside, and the inside colour scheme is so cold and clinical.

mochajoes · 06/04/2020 23:51

Gorgeous views & pool, not keen on the decor. Can't stand the gazillion spotlights trend
