My lottery win house

127 replies

ArseWipesLemonade · 08/01/2021 22:11

I often browse houses on Rightmove for when I win the lottery but have never found one I really like. I have fallen in love with this one so I thought I'd share. It's not close enough to the beach for my liking though, so I'd probably have to buy a penthouse in Brighton for weekends. www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/77767582#/

@ArseWipesLemonade you can't live somewhere called Pricketts Hatch! Everyone will snigger when you tell them your address!

Robbybobtail · 08/01/2021 22:56

Yes I live near it mnah and sometimes walk past it - you can just see it from the road. Didn’t know it was for sale though- I think it must be discreetly for sale! I’ve never been inside though - I love the use of colour - someone with great style lives there obviously!

One of these has already been taken down by the agent Grin

MN all pile in and their hits go crazy. Poor estate agent - probably woke them up late on a Friday

@Bunchuo - that's the best one yet!

Oh yes, I'd have that one too. Very nice! Love the pool and the woods and bluebells and stream...needs a bit of decor updating but the house itself is gorgeous.

Why do rich people have no personality? All the rooms look like they are in a £60 a night bnb in some of these houses!

Cantdoitallperfectly · 08/01/2021 23:45

Oh my god @mnahmnah that house is AMAZING!!!

littlealexhorne · 08/01/2021 23:54

The house itself isn't entirely to my tastes, but I agree that little boat is very charming

MargeryMcLatchie · 09/01/2021 00:00

I think I'll take this one on the Lizard in Cornwall. Plenty of space for friends and family to come and stay in those letting barns.

@ArseWipesLemonade lovely house! The boat seems to just be in a large pond though...

Msfoxy17 · 09/01/2021 00:03

I'm with Bunchup. Absolutely beautiful house and location!

Justmuddlingalong · 09/01/2021 00:08

My "we've won the lottery" house is under offer. I hope the new owners' will be as happy there as I would have been. 😭

DishingOutDone · 09/01/2021 00:13

@bunchup - is that a wooden bath?!

Lovely house shelvesoutofbooks but that cupboard in the kitchen would cause me anxiety. Should I store something in the 'nibbles' drawer or is it a 'treat'? The 'cookies' drawer is the same size as the 'carbs' and 'veggies' drawers, which doesn't give out the greatest healthy eating message. I would also classify cookies as 'treats' and 'carbs'. And what happens if one member of the family misfiles something in the wrong drawer?

Now I appreciate some of the the dilemmas you face when you can afford a £4m house Grin

I'm racing Bunchup to the Dartmoor property. I've always had a hankering for a house with a stream running through the garden, always assuming there's no flood risk.

Bloodybridget · 09/01/2021 00:56

@missmeg3leg I love yours. What would you do with it? If I had it for a week, I'd invite all my extended family and DP's for a house party (post pandemic of course).

InTheSnow · 09/01/2021 02:07

This one will do me very nicely

That's perfect @Bunchup isn't it!
Well balanced in that valley with just the right amount of land and facilities.

There used to be a little sweet shop on the corner in the centre of Lustleigh. Wonder if it is still there.

My lottery house is less than a million!

Gorgeous. And rum, hammocks and cigars with the rest of the cash.

Not perfect but plenty of space for what I'd want to do (involves large abd expensive horsey things and an outdoor pool

Kissthepastrychef · 09/01/2021 03:39

I also love this

This one is for sale around the corner from my house. It would need updating, but I'd take it for the view and the wine cellar. Smile
