£1.5million to live in the arse end of nowhere

[DontDoThatGeorge]

In quite a small flat, really.

I don't know, what do you think?

In an age of rising water levels it feels like a lot of money to be giving the flood risk a head start.

Yes yes also to the rats.

It’s in the Cotswolds. I’m in Gloucestershire, so pretty close - but not in the Cotswolds. Cotswolds are mega bucks compared to the rest of this area.

it’s definitely not the arse end of nowhere 😂😂 It might not be to your taste which is absolutely fair enough but there are plenty of lovely Cotswold towns around it.

That is definitely not the arse end of nowhere

It looks like paradise to me! Except I’d spend eternity swatting away gnats and mosquitos.

Another batshit thread with people thinking Lechlade is nr Telford or in Scotland, Cotswolds are hardly the arse end of nowhere! 🤣

It’s in a very luxury holiday complex of other holiday homes on the water park, and there’s a premium on it for that. You wouldn’t be buying it to live in but to let out.

For that money in the village itself or just around you’d get a fairly large period vicarage or equivalent with good gardens, if you want to live here.

I might be biased about the area, but it is close to anywhere nice - not far from Cirencester and all the lovely villages we have round here, typical Cotswolds, close to places like Kelmscott and Bibury, some of the most picturesque places around!

It looks amazing

I live on the West Welsh coast, and you think Lechlade is the arse end of nowhere 😂😂

I wouldn’t turn it down if someone offered it as a gift! It does look nice. But if I were spending £1.5m of my own money there are many other places I’d rather live.

And some of you need a geography lesson!

If anyone needs a push to go for it - Lechlade has a year round Christmas shop . Lots of Christmas decorations ( nice ones )

And a brilliant junky antiquey shop, and competing posh bakeries!

Ooo this was in a tv series about a privileged Uni student who may/may not have killed her friend and dumped her in a wheely bin. This, or a neighbour’s house was her parents house. Forgetting the series is driving me mad!

It's been on the market since October last year so clearly not that attractive a proposition

It's a holiday home. I would doubt you would be allowed to register for a GP or send children to a local school as it's often in the leasehold that this is not allowed - along with drying washing outside.
Service charges will be v high as well as having to pay the management company a fee for any changes to the building such as new windows. Service charge will cover up keep of tennis courts, pool, landscaped grounds and security.
The lakes have managed levels and don't flood. I'm within 50m of one at the moment 😊
It's not the arse end of nowhere but there is no obligation to like the Cotswolds

Not to be confused with the development in Roath, Cardiff called The Lakes By Yer.

Nah, I saw Lake and I immediately thought … Midges.
And it's a flat.

It reminds me of the palm thing in Dubai (on one of the photos)….I mean it’s greener and quieter but it’s man made.

For £1.5m i want a loo my guests can use without going into a bedroom. That's a really strange layout.

Flooding

Took me a while to find the kitchen in the floor plan.

I used to work for Jade Jagger and when these were built about 10 years ago, she fancied herself as an interior designer and was commissioned to do the interior design on this development. Her designs were so awful they struggled to sell them.

They’ve obviously remodelled since then and this one looks very nice now.

This is the opposite of the arse end of nowhere. It is really well connected. Not far from Bristol, Bath, Swindon, Gloucester, Cheltenham. Less than 2 hours to London and very close to beautiful Cirencester. The lakes are beautiful.
I would rather live in a more secluded place though.

But it wouldn’t be you entertaining guests - it’s a holiday home so you’d all be guests.

I'm sorry but that's an ITV three-parter police drama waiting to happen. Mass murder at the weekend gated community.

You'd probably bump into Tory ministers and other such unsavoury characters.
