It's in the Isle of Axholme, below sea level reclaimed land in 16th century. Massive flood defences. I'd feel less at risk there than much higher ground.

Chickychickydodah · 27/03/2021 21:50

Wtaf?
Do the tellytubbies live there?

I know. I work in for the Environment Agency in the area. I am very familiar with the massive flood defences, and the constant battle we have to fund their maintenance.

That's a lot of house for 700k.

Disappointed in lack of floor plan.

Like the rooms and sizes and light etc but I would definitely have to redecorate some of it!

@ProseccoandPizza

No one else picked up that the games/cinema/large lounge with balcony room is actually where the pool is?

So the trampoline actually sits atop a swimming pool or the pool table does at least?!

Maybe the indoor pool in just when it floods.

So seasonal and natural Wink

@Hugexfilesfan I came on to add exactly the same comment! Grin

Toddlerteaplease · 27/03/2021 22:21

Errrrrm, not sure what to say about that! Love the decor in the kids rooms though.

The chandelier hangs into the trampolineConfused

It says it's been fully refurbished so why so few pictures and all the weird computer generated ones, especially no. 10 the marble bathroom and the last kitchen one.

Singlenotsingle · 27/03/2021 22:32

Are you planning on running a hotel?

ImAlrightThanx · 27/03/2021 22:41

I'm in the SE.
17 bedrooms for 700k! A 2 bed house in my town is north of 500k.

ImAlrightThanx · 27/03/2021 22:43

Am I the only person who wants to jump from the upstairs landing onto the trampoline?

Comeondelicious · 27/03/2021 22:47

It's been dressed for sale and I bet it is very damp. The bathrooms and kitchens are new(ish) and approach stylish but I would scream "money-pit!" no offence intended...

No. But with my weight I do worry where I'd rebound to...
ImAlrightThanx · 27/03/2021 23:00

RagzReturnsRebooted, I'm pretty solid myself and would probably go through the floor!

WarmSausageTea · 27/03/2021 23:03

We viewed that house in 2013/14!

Very interesting place, but it needed more work than we wanted to take on - plus it’s very close to the Trent, as has already been mentioned. Still, someone has done a lot of work on it since we viewed it.

PickAChew · 27/03/2021 23:05

Yay, piss soaked AstroTurf,

RagzReturnsRebooted · 27/03/2021 23:07

@PickAChew

Yay, piss soaked AstroTurf,
Yeah, I did wonder how you're meant to mop it... I thought it was creative in the bedroom, but just wierd and impractical in a bathroom. Like carpet in a kitchen. Just no.
RhubarbTea · 27/03/2021 23:07

It's like something out of an episode of Black Mirror. Brr.

ThatsNotTheTeaHunty · 27/03/2021 23:18

It's so cheap!!!

ThatsNotTheTeaHunty · 27/03/2021 23:19

Pressed post too early. You'd be lucky to get a 3 bed semi detached for that here. 17 rooms?! 😯.

VaVaGloom · 27/03/2021 23:21

It looks like a correctional facility crossed with a childrens TV set.

GreatestSh0wUnicorn · 27/03/2021 23:29

I think it looks really sad like it’s been abandoned.

PerveenMistry · 28/03/2021 14:06

That is such tacky decor surely it's a joke?

Oh I just came on to say this an you beat me to it.

According to the link someone posted, the trampoline is OVER the SWIMMING POOL!

So move trampoline and open up the pool and you have a huge pool with balcony in the middle of your house!
