I found this little gem on rightmove

[TheThreeHeadedBeast]

Just been browsing rightmove, looks innocuous from the outside.

I am another one who thought the butler in the dining room was holding a gun!

I now need to go back and look at the photos at all the other things PP have noticed that I missed in my first viewing.

O.M.G. Have they never heard that the majority of the population in the UK are against hunting especially exotic species. Loads of people would never even set foot in it for a viewing. Nuts, totally nuts.

All the money in the world can't buy you class.

In fairness, though, it can buy you a rocking zebra, and that's almost as good

@Littlebelina

You could do that with the garage doors shut surely?

Could you? The cars show the scale and closed doors would be pretty boring.

The kitchen is quite small for the amount of house, and the bathrooms appear to lack storage. I wonder how comfortable that leather bench is to sit at for your tea.

You know you're middle-aged when you look at a bedroom like that and all you can think about it is the polishing.

This is literally on my doorstep, but no idea who owns it.

If it hasn't been mentioned up thread, I will find out and report back 😁

Very similar to the decor in Aynhoe Park. Pretty amazing. Take a look.

But the bubbles look daft (although the whole house does), don't show scale as you can't see the size of the cars and aren't anymore exciting than closed doors. Just leave the picture out and say triple garage

Sorry just seen MNHQ comment. I wont disclose the owner

Amazing! Some aspects better than others....

DH has just pointed out there is a picture of maggie Thatcher in view in the second dining room picture

The saving grace is that it's a relatively newly-built property - the clue is in it being described as 'Queen Anne-style country house' and 'Beautifully designed in the Queen Anne style' so the owners haven't destroyed a listed building. The only listed part is the wall around the perimeter.

Ashley and Cheryl Cole however... Hurtmore House was a beautiful period Arts and Crafts home that they bought. They ripped the ivy off the front, took out most of the internal walls and the staircases, turning it from a 2-storey into a 3-storey house, and ripped out all the original herringbone parquet flooring on the ground floor, which went on a Guy Fawkes night bonfire. This is the brochure from when Ashley sold it (at a thumping great loss - they paid £3.55m, spent another £5m on it and ended up selling for £6.1m after asking £7.5m) and there's very little trace of what used to be a beautiful period house left: media.onthemarket.com/properties/1770520/doc_1_0.pdf

I live in rural Ireland and am in the process of renovating and decorating a house...maybe I should take inspiration from this. A rural Ireland-themed verson maybe, and on my budget?...I think I will stuff a few sheep and hang them from the ceiling...should do the trick...

Has MN broken Rightmove?

Oh please let this be on Through t’keyoil soon. Can you imagine the viewing “So, it does come unfurnished?” “We can negotiate...” “No, that’s not a question.”

In Cheshire one lovely house old house was demolished to build something like this. Truly a testament to african wildlife every room was animal themed, walls, floors, fabrics, furnishings. it was like living in a cave so gloomy. When it was sold the new owner once again demolished the lot to design yet another new build. You were talking 4.5m to buy plus demolishing costs plus new build.

Some folk have an awful lot of money to spare. Some very sensibly leave it all to interior designers.

Dear mumsnet - I googled and came up with a property company specialising in home improvement. Fortunately I saw the removed references to the owner before they went, or I would still have been laughing.

Once the owner's personal belongings are removed that's actually a nice house in a good location. I dont have a spare £5 million or I'd go and view it.

Too scary for me.

The actual structure of the house is absolutely fine.

Its like the decor in the room where John Lennon filmed the Imagine video
and then what the next owner did to it.

I would have to hope that the owner of this property did not shoot all of those animals
and that they are on loan from Tring

Its so hard to imagine the house empty.

Looks like the outside needs alot of work

It's horrific - the person who lives there obviously has a lot of money (the price of the house and the cars) but no taste. It's a nice house but if I had to see that decor every day I'd cry

No you don't: Down With This Sort Of Thing!!

It is like this one near me: www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-71642478.html

Wonder if this is their city pad? 🤣

Its like a tiny version of the Versace mansion!!
